Setu Tribe
The Setu Tribe consists of: the Warrior Goddess, Connection, Fire Lotus, Men At Work... these are just a few of the movements created by Setu Tribe, a growing group of women (currently 21 and counting), led by Geri Omni, who come together to perform a collectively choreographed dance. Each movement is derived from a single, memorable experience belonging to each woman, making the dance into a series of pivotal moments that each Tribes Woman shares. In addition to creating their own movements, each Tribes Woman also crafts their own costume. Setu Tribe connects us all to these powerful moments as it heals and uplifts through the dance.
The Tribes founder, Geri Vanore (“Lady Omni”) has been inspired by the Tribal qualities of the Phamily known as The Philadelphia Experiment, the amazing, strong and beautiful women and men of the community, and the uplifting creations and music of the artists.
