I find very often after a performance I have a LOT of energy still coursing and a need to dance it off. Plus, I've invested a lot of time and effort in getting all dressed and make-upped; why let it go to waste? Me and my troupemates will often go hit the local goth/industrial club after an evening performance and burn off the rest of our "dancies". Walking in all dolled up in whatever incarnation of Fusion we happen to be wearing is considered perfectly "normal" at such clubs, and we get lots of positive comments and feedback from interested and curious onlookers. We've even snagged new members that way!

Tribal Spirits usually goes out to the local pub (which in Wisconsin is very rural) and enjoys the ridiculous, giggle inducing difference between everyone else at the bar and ... er... us. Sometimes we dance, sometimes we DRUM and dance, sometimes they just have to WISH we would dance. After all, it's not a paid show! Fun Fun Fun!

We usually hit the diner or a bar.

Except for my most basic pieces, I never go out in costume. For my most delicate/complex pieces (coin bra, belt) I even wrap them in muslin before I put them in my bag. I put in too much time and money to risk spilling food or beer on them, or getting the tangly-bits caught on something. But I do enjoy going out when my hair and makeup are all still done up.

Waffle House!!!!!

No kidding, its a tradition, that after all the dancing and after-partying, at 3am,- I HAVE to have pecan waffles and hash browns!!!

For myself and other troupe members, it depends on what season it is.
Usually in summer, after a performance, I go swimming for few hours.
But the rest ofthe year, we usually have a private party and dance for hours on end, or go out for a meal together.
So usually, it ends up with us ladies full of energy and needing to burn it off!
