Meet The Tribe
You never know what you’ll see on the beach. Meet Marcella and her troop Jai, Sinead and Gemmesha. We caught up with them practicing for their performance in the Carnival Parade July 4. (They’re also performing on St. Thomas next month.)
You might recognize Marcella, a parade veteran. This will be the first year for her new troop, “The Tribe.”
Meet the ladies, and watch some dancing, minus the dramatic costumes they will be wearing for the parade, below!

Wow…coming to St.John with girlfriends May 9th but someday I am going to come for Carnival. Twenty years ago I was a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa and your dance really connects these two special parts of the world for me. Thanks ladies.

Love the video! Who was the drunk guy in the background though? Kind of looks familiar.

Wow! Excellent. Wish we could be there to see the parade. Thanks for the preview. Love the music… Soukous from the Congo?

Loved it! Also the fact they are thinking for the future: the importance of passing cultural traditions on to the next generation.

This is a great group. Looking forward to seeing them again on the 4th of July, Carnival in St. John. I tend to hang out at Mongoose Junction for the parade. One year, all the groups and floats never really got out of the parking lot but no one seemed to care.
