*Introduction (with dance style definitions)

*Chapter 1: Genesis. How it all started. Featuring full-length interviews with Masha Archer, Carolena Nericcio and Suhaila Salimpour. Archived historical photos of The San Francisco Classic Dance Troupe and early FatChanceBellyDance.

*Chapter 2: Arborescence - The Old School. Features quotes and photos from early "California Tribal" groups, including Laurel Victoria Gray's Shahrazad Ensemble, Shelley Muzzy/Yasmela's Bou-Saada, and a full-length, previously unpublished-in-entirety interview with John Compton of Hahbi ‘Ru (formerly of Bal Anat). Numerous archived photos of John, Bal Anat and Hahbi ‘Ru as well as other influential early groups.

*Chapter 3: Arborescence, Continued - The New School. This chapter concentrates on how this dance phenomenon began to take root around the globe. Thorough input from Paulette Rees-Denis of The Gypsy Caravan and quotes and photos from many people including: Jill Parker, Amy "Luna" Manderino, Heather Stants, Jane Archer, The Lost Ghawazee, Maja the Girl from the Nile, an article by Alaine Haddon-Casey about ATS in Australia and one by Susan of Tribe!, New Zealand's own ATS troupe. Also a section about "tribal soloists."

*Chapter 4: Costume and Adornment. Featuring mostly color photos and including not only a thoroughly researched and well-documented history of the ATS costume's development but also a previously-unpublished interview with Gwen Heckeroth of Flying Skirts of San Francisco, some textile and tattoo designs from India and North Africa, suggestions for all ATS costume components with thorough supporting documentation, instructions on wrapping and/or pre-making headdresses by Karol Henderson Harding and Politti of Tribal Stuff!, "Making the Perfect Choli" by Munierah Dereima, thorough tassel belt information including an in-depth article by Natasya Katsiaris that includes photo documentation of these items being worn by actual tribal peoples, "Making a Base for a Tassel Belt With Ties" by Munierah Dereima, a thorough section on jewelry, one on makeup and one on tattoos (face and body) that include documentation via numerous archived antique postcards from the priceless collection of Elizabeth Artemis Mourat, as well as thorough articles about non-permanent body art options by Kree Arvanitas entitled "Some Tips for Making Henna Magic" and "Music, Dance and Henna - Natural Partners." These include recipes and instructions as well as some historical information about henna. Also, numerous references for further information.

*Chapter 5: Movements and More. Thorough written breakdowns and photo examples of many basic ATS moves, both slow and fast; my philosophies regarding cuing for group improvisational choreography, use of both hips and what makes Tribal "Tribal"; my Advanced Chorus Concepts and use of Multiple Leaders; sections on floorwork, turns, props, and thoughts and exercises about your power center, the importance of play and healing through the vehicle of dance.

*Chapter 6: Music. Numerous suggestions for many types of music from traditional to modern suitable for ATS, but complete finger cymbal (zill, sagat) and Turkish spoon (kashiklar) instruction with photo accompaniment, an article titled "Rhythms of Asia Minor Adapted for ATS" by Natasya Katsikaris (with discography) and a section about working with live bands.

*Chapter 7: "Gypsy" This and "Gypsy" That. This chapter is about the rampant misuse by the dance community in general of the racial slur, "Gypsy," and what we can do about it. This chapter was edited by both Elizabeth Artemis Mourat and The Voice of Roma. It includes numerous photos supplied by Voice of Roma that depict actual Romani people, poems by activists Paul Polansky and E. Artemis Mourat, numerous excerpts from E. Artemis Mourat's manuscript, "Separating Fact From Fiction in the Year of the Rom," historical information and quotes from Roma around the world. Also, Romani resources and events lists to help broaden our education.

*Chapter 8: Imitation, Innovation and Ethics. How to innovate in a dance style without losing the essence of the original form. Discussions of definitions, a reprint of the interview, "Tribal Synergy, Exploring Its Mesmerizing Power and Strength" with Paulette Rees-Denis and Kajira Djoumahna, an article by Natasya Katsikaris titled "The Importance of Knowing and Honoring Our Cultural Sources," one by Sharon Moore titled "As Our Tribe Grows" and more.

*Chapter 9: Dance and Ritual. This chapter includes poems by Karen Andes and Charlene Lee Roberts/Perizad Ya Bint Al Hawa, discussion of the use of ritual in dance and vice versa throughout millennia and today, an article by Delilah entitled "Honoring the Connection Between Navel and Nasal," information about the concept of baraka and how objects are imbued with power, more on jewelry and adornment as this pertains to it, a section about "trance dances" of the Middle East and how they can compare to ATS. Also how we can add more power to our presentations by learning from these ancient ideas.

*Chapter 10: More Voices. Quotes and photos from many more tribal-influenced dancers around the globe! Some of the voices included are those of Narah bint Durr/Kimberly Arrington, Laura Lee Smith, Wendy of FatChanceBellyDance, Zi'ah Ali/Lisa McKinney-Taylor, Troupe Zahara, Edee and others. I have had the word out amongst the dance community that I've been looking for contributors since 1999.

*Bibliography and Resource Directory - both of which are several pages in length.
