Mandala is a student troupe as well.

Matter of fact, since none of the dancers there were being paid, they were almost all amateurs or students. Some of them had obviously not been dancing long--but they still managed to look like they were having fun. Even the ones who were obviously nervous, you could tell that they loved dancing. That just doesn't come through with the Gypsy Caravan people.

Mandala and The Circle tend to incorporate some of the stuff from caberet belly dancing. Gypsy Caravan tends to almost seems to look down their nose at caberet dancers. It pisses me off.

Also, ask Strega about Gypsy Caravan. Hoo boy does she have bad stories.
