What is American Tribal Style® (ATS®)?

Carolena Nericcio, creator of ATS® and FatChanceBellydance® describes it best herself. Take a look at the above clip to understand the ATS® concept.
ATS® movements, costuming and inspiration are largely influenced by nomadic cultures of the Middle East. ATS® blends elements of Egyptian bellydance, Flamenco, Indian and North African dance and meshes them through group improvisation, which is one of its most unique aspects. Students learn the essential ATS® movements and positions, which are combined during the dance. Changes in movement are signaled by cues between dancers of the group resulting in an extremely exciting, highly synchronized artistic dance.

PLEASE NOTE:
Once you have registered classes are non-refundable. If you miss a class you can speak to Valizan directly about doing a make up in one of the other levels held on Monday nights. Unused/missed classes CANNOT be transferred to future sessions under any circumstances.
Advance Registration is required for the session. No drop-ins are permitted. Students with previous ATS® experience should speak with Valizan regarding which level he feels is most suitable for your skill level. Students without previous bellydance experience (not ATS® specific) are required to start at ATS® beginner level.
