- EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF MOVEMENT -

MOVE - CONNECT - INSPIRE

Global Caravan Dance (GCD) is a modern, group improvisation style of Tribal Bellydance created by Paulette Rees Denis in 1991, in the USA.

GCD is more than a beautiful dance style - it’s a joyful workout for body mind and spirit that inspires creativity, connection, empowerment and wellbeing!

We are the Australian collective of this international community with teachers in QLD, WA, VIC, and TAS.

Global Caravan Dance Australia is part of an international tribe of dancers, who share the dance format ‘Global Caravan Tribal Bellydance TM’ founded in the USA by our dance mother, the inspirational Paulette Rees-Denis.

WHY DO WE DANCE?

We dance for joy, for connection, for self-expression and for the sacredness of moving in harmony with others.

This is more than a dance - it’s a lifestyle, a creative practice, and a celebration of feminine energy in motion.

WHAT WE LOVE
