About Bellydance

There are many different genres of bellydance. Here at Two Left Feet we offer American Tribal Style bellydance.

 

What is American Tribal Style Bellydance?

American Tribal Style Bellydance (ATS) is a modern style of dance created by FatChance BellyDance director, Carolena Nericcio. It is a melting pot of movements from classic Egyptian, Folkloric, and North African dances. Along with a unique costume style, a key characteristic of ATS is the group improvisational format the dancers perform in.

There are two beginner classes that alternate every other month. Odd number months (Jan, Mar, May, July, Sept, Nov) focus on Level 1 Fast ATS vocabulary. Even number months (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, Dec) focus on Level 1 Slow ATS vocabulary.

The month's curriculum includes posture, the dance steps, basic music theory for those dance steps, cues and transitions and the Follow-the-Leader concepts and guidelines that are unique to ATS bellydance.

4-week class: $60

After completing one month each of Fast and Slow vocabulary, you may proceed to the Level 2 class. The Level 2 class will constantly cover posture, and the Follow-the Leader format; however you will begin to add to your improvisation vocabulary by learning to cue and transition to new dance steps. This is an on-going class that you may drop in at any time.

1 class: $15

After Level 2, you may advance to Level 3, which is another class that adds more vocabulary to your repertoire and focuses on stage performance.

1 class: $15
