- 1:30 pm - Intro to ATS® with Baseema
American Tribal Style® Belly Dance is a modern style of belly dance created by Fat Chance Belly Dance® director, Carolena Nericcio-Bohlman. It is a transnational fusion dance with elements from the Middle East, North Africa, Spain, India, as well as other countries. ATS® is group improvisation where a vocabulary of movements and cues are used, allowing the dancers to create art in the moment. ATS® is fancy steps, exciting music, and sheer beauty of people dancing together as one! Join us as we learn some of our favorite dance combinations. You’ll be dancing before you know it.
