Triple Goddess Tribal Belly Dance

Triple Goddess Tribal Belly Dance was founded by artistic director Maya Taahira in 2006 and is derived from several previous belly dance classes and troupes in the D.C. area. The dance troupe gets its name from a celebration of the three stages of a woman's life — innocent youth, fertile middle-age, and wise elder years.

Triple Goddess Tribal performs traditional folk dances of the Middle East and North Africa, updated with elements of American Tribal Style (ATS) belly dance. The group seeks to empower its performers and delight its audiences with dances that are both exquisite and playful, that connect performer and audience, and that stay true to their folkloric roots.
