Beginner Level 1:  American Tribal Style (ATS)

Let us greet the morning in DANCE! We will connect with the divine sun; and the fluid, serpentine nature of the spine; and the deep-roots rhythms of our divine, feminine, earthy movement. We will move with loving compassion to body, engaging the dance as a tool to attain a heightened sense of well-being. We will also practice learning the cues of American Tribal Style  (ATS), an tribal improvisational belly dance style developed by Carolena Nericcio of Fat Chance Belly Dance. This class will have a performance element, but not requirement. Please feel free to join even if you have no desire to perform. The practice of simply learning the improv cues to be able to freely dance in a unified way with other woman is rewarding in and of itself.
