Having brought Tribal Style Belly dance to the Pacific Northwest in 1991, Paulette opened Caravan Studio - a World of Dance, in 2000. She is the artistic director of the Gypsy Caravan Dance Company - Portland's internationally acclaimed contemporary Tribal Belly dance troupe. Paulette Rees Denis found her soul dance in the Tribal Style of Belly dance. She teaches weekly classes in Portland as well as international workshops. Her Tribal styling is a fusion of several influences - urban, folk, ritual and trance dances from various countries as well as modern life. With a classical dance background, she started her Belly dance career as one of the founders of FatChanceBellyDance in San Fransisco. Since then, Paulette has created a rich blend of contemporary dance which is aesthetically pleasing, spiritually grounding and physically rewarding.

Underbelly is also excited to announce Paulette is also running Australia's first Basic Tribal Style Teacher Training Course:
