Samantha Emanuel (formerly Hasthorpe) is the only British member of The Bellydance Superstars and appears on their Tribal Fusions and Tribal Fusion Fundamentals DVDs.    She has performed on stages internationally in countless countries. True to the original spirit of American Tribal Style, her improvised Tribal Fusion routines combine skills gleaned from her studies with the creators of the genre in the USA with that of her own self taught dance background in the UK. Elegant and classic, strong in carriage: Fusing Victorian costume aesthetics, olde world dance movement strangeness, a respectful modern take on World Folk dances and a professional versatility. She started her Tribal Fusion Belly Dance journey in 2005 inspired by Carolena Nericcio and Rachel Brice. In Feb 2007 Samantha became the only British member of Hollywood based dance troupe The Bellydance Superstars touring full time and featuring on numerous BDSS performance DVDs. She continues to travel globally, instructing intensive workshops and enjoying collaborative and solo performances. Samantha is a committed teacher as well as performer. Her accessible teaching style reflects the fact that she considers herself to be a beginner student, always hungry for more training and new ideas. She is fast becoming known for her fun, engaging performance style, making audiences the world over smile. www.vagabondprincess.com
