Hmmmm. Great tribal belly dance costumes (I'm in the process of building
one of those myself), but definitely NOT tribal style dancing or music. As
a belly dancer, I have mixed feelings. But hell, they're having fun and
that's what counts ;)
If you want to see the "real" thing, look at:

It's often difficult to see something you love watered down to
meaninglessness, especially ones own cultural traditions. Which is
how I feel about most tribal belly dance altogether.

When you have no specific ethnic culture of your own, or when yours is
the same as the majority in which you live, it's easy to mistake
irritation with cultural appropriation as "snobbery". You do know
what "cultural appropriation" is, don't you?
However, I have no problem being called a snob. I'm an Arab by blood,
there's no escaping the identity or the label. Most of the North
American and European women into Tribal belly dance, and belly dance
in general, can put away their costumes when they're done dancing and
safely assimilate back into their lily white worlds. If they or
anyone else thinks I'm elitist for calling them out on this, tough
shit.

Can you give a link to what you would call impressive?

If you consider this a problem, what would be your solution?
