Shades Of Araby (Maral, Karina and Valizan) is the first American Tribal Style® (ATS) dance troupe based in Toronto. ATS is a modern fusion dance style, drawing its movements, costuming, and general inspiration from the Tribal cultures of the Middle East, Northern Africa/Maghreb, India and Spain.

The distinguishing feature of the style is the group improvisation; there is no choreography. Carefully studied and perfected movements and positions are combined during the dance and are signaled by subtle cues in order to create the illusion of perfect synchronicity.
