Daka
Daka, also known as Mark in his everyday life, has a
fascination with culture, language, spirituality, and
folklore. Always driven by an inherent desire to
wonder, and seeking a method of uniting the body
and mind. With his passion for music, dance,
theater, and costume, he discovered ATS and
fulfilled this wish. He has experience in fire fan
choreography, ATS with tambourine, as well as
tribal drumming and musicality. He developed such
a passion for tribal drumming that he founded a
new DFW drum group, the Temple of Doum. He also
takes great joy in inviting other men to join the ATS
siblinghood, representing an art form that
empowers both men and women to embrace their
higher selves and to have confidence in all they do.
Esperanza
Esperanza began doing ballet at the age of 7.
She quickly fell in love with being on stage and
performing with all of her dance sisters at a small
academy in California. She had the opportunity
to perform in several classical ballets such as;
Sleeping Beaty, Les Sylphides and the
Nutcracker.
In 2019 she made her way to Texas and had to
say good bye to her ballet family. Once the
pandemic died down she longed to join a new
dance community. After being introduced to the
ATS style of bellydance she quickly fell in love
with learning the language and joining the Tribal
Evolution family. As the youngest member of the
troupe each member has welcomed her with
open arms and offered her support, as a dancer
and a person. She looks forward to dancing with
TE for years to come and to expand her
knowledge of the bellydance world.
