Julia DiVerdi - Sumatra Belly Dance

TribalTique's northern branch came into their own in 2013 and became Sumatra Belly Dance, directed by Julia DiVerdi. Created to provide her advanced level students with performance opportunities, the group has received rave reviews by audiences in Fort Collins, Denver, Boulder and all the stops in between! Comprised of about ten dedicated dancers, these girls are willing to take on the toughest dance challenges transforming themselves from underwater sirens to circus clowns to disco divas!

Focused on sharp technique, lovely expression, and dynamic choreography, Sumatra has firmly landed at the top of the local belly dance scene. These ladies appear regularly in Fort Collins and beyond! They produce and star in their own show, "The Summer Spectacular", in Old Town Square every summer as well as produce their own annual winter showcase. Always a crowd favorite, you can usually catch Sumatra in a show at Fort Collins' New West Fest and First Night events as well as the Denver People's Fair. Keep on the lookout for more exciting shows coming your way!

Well, usually dancers are pulled from Julia's classes when they exhibit the technique, dedication, and interest in committing to a performing group. This usually happens after six months to a year of steadily attending weekly classes. Occasionally a more advanced dancer will audition to join the company after a shorter period of instruction. So if this sounds like you, check out the Group Classes!
