The tribal dance history in Latin America began in Mexico in 2001 with Elsanne Barrow and Sharon Kerr.
Elsanne, who had known the belly dance and tribal dance when she took classes in Prescott, Arizona, next to Terri Walden of Troupe Salamat, came to Mexico in 2001 seeking to learn new dances and it was during that process he met Esther James, who invited her to teach dance in their tribal Belly Dance Academy. Later, in 2004, appeared with his Elsanne Belibeya group and also dictated dance workshops, one in Mexico at the invitation of Ramah Aysel.
On the other hand, were the activities of Sharon Kerr, who fell in love with the tribal dance after many years of practicing Egyptian style. And it was precisely her love for this dance that led her to San Francisco, California, taking classes with the creator of American Tribal Style (ATS), Carolenna Nericcio. They also had the opportunity to train alongside teachers and dancers known as: Rachel Brice, Mardi Love, Jill Parker, Kajira Djoumahna, Suhaila Salimpour, Donna Mejia, Sharon Kihrara, Moria Chappell, Kaeshi Chai, Aziza, Bozenka, Paulette Rees-Denis and Ansuya. He also received a master's degree in contemporary dance at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
The appearance of Rachel Brice in the dance scene was that the Mexican public interest, interested in learning tribal dance, rise. This led to the formation of new dancers who continued the process by Elsanne or Sharon and some decided to prepare in the U.S.. In any case, this variety of learning and desire to train new teachers with the same teaching format Elsanne inspired to form what is known today as Masterpieces of Tribal, a training course for teachers of this style.
tribal style soon spread to Latin America by forming new dancers in the art in Chile, thanks to La Troupe Banjara created by Maxine Astorga and Victoria Vasquez between 2003 and 2004, and Elizabeth Stuart, in Colombia, with Paola Olaskoaga late 2004 and early 2005, in Venezuela, with Leslie Daraco Lima and Mariamira Troupe in 2005, and Argentina, with Maxine Astorga, Myrna and Iman Najla late 2006. After these pioneering Latin American tribal style, the other tribes came to form in this dance about 2007.
