Hipnosis is all about the joy and magic that is experienced while dancing together.  We dance for those moments when all else is forgotten and our concentration is on the connection and energies passing between dancers.

Hipnosis is a Tribal Style belly dance troupe from the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA.  All three co-founding members, Maeve Doyle, Jessica Staley, and Vikki Williams, got their start in cabaret style belly dance, but were very much intrigued by American Tribal Style belly dance….by the exotic and elaborate costumes, the controlled and earthy movements, and the idea of dancing with a group of women as one unit.  "When I first heard of belly dance, this is what I envisioned" ~ Vikki Williams.  Each member separately searched out this new form of belly dance, and eventually ended up at the same crossroads.  Sharing similar artistic visions, a desire to grow as dancers, and an eagerness to expand on what they were already doing with tribal belly dance, they came together in the fall of 2003 to form Hipnosis and have since formed their own unique improv tribal style of belly dance. 

Their goal is to share this beautiful dance with others while basking in the joy and camaraderie that exists within tribal belly dance.
