The Jamila Salimpour™ Vocabulary is a current and thriving belly dance style that was developed by Jamila; watching and being influenced by the dancers of the “Golden Era” (1940-1960). Jamila Vocabulary is the basis for both American Classical Cabaret and the inspiration/foundation of what later became known as American Tribal Style and is currently renamed Trans National Belly Dance.
