WildCard BellyDance was formed in September of 2008, when nine California members of BlackSheep BellyDance co-founded their own evolutionary troupe.

In 2009 WildCard BellyDance solidified and released their own ITS format. They continue to innovate cues, moves & transitions and enhance their group improv format.

2010-11 saw the creation of a new set of Tribal Scimitar Improv moves (including improv cued floorwork)! which added to both their dance repertiore and workshop offerings.

Now in 2012 WildCard BellyDance has co-produced Tribal Collaborations (Audio CD) and is teaching workshops and performing their unique Improv Tibal Style format at major festivals in the USA and beyond!

• Kajira Djoumahna & Paulette Rees-Denis for extending the ITS format.
