Full day of workshops - 10AM - 5:30PM


The Two Ssssss…Shimmies and Spins
This 1 ½ hr workshop will focus on two things that seem to have many dancers stumped:

¾ shimmies - both ¾ up and ¾ down. This workshop will help in better understanding how to do the ¾ shimmy while moving/ walking.

Spins and turns – an easy method of learning to spot and to turn without wobbling
and in a control manner. This skill can be used in any form of dancing – not just
Bellydancing.
10AM - 11:30PM
$20 advance/ $25 at door

Flavors of ATS
This 1 ½ hr workshop is a sampler of the movement vocabulary from FCBD ATS –
-the basic movements will be cover along with some of my favorites. American Tribal Style Belly Dance (ATS) is an improv form of belly dance created by FatChanceBellyDance director, Carolena Nericcio. Improv tribal dance is based on the concept of lead and follow. Specific cues allows a group of dancers to dance together without having to follow a specific choreography. The followers watch for cues to know what movement is being called by the leader and provides the ability to bring dancers together in dance. Note: Please bring your zills – it will be used in this class.
