Tribal Bellydance Speak from the Hip

What is American Tribal Style®?

Developed and pioneered in San Francisco by FatChanceBellyDance® under the direction of Carolena Nericcio, American Tribal Style® (ATS®)  is known for its earthy, colourful fusion of ethnic dance styles from around  the world combined into a structured and accessible dance idiom.

FatChance format ATS® is recognised and taught globally and is known for its concept of Improvisational Choreography where individual moves are combined with cues and transitions to create a spontaneous performance .

Students and troupes from around the world are able to connect and dance with each other with little or no rehearsal.  ATS® offers a fun and empowering way to keep fit and enrich your dance experience.

Tribal Fusion

Being an organic art form, American Tribal Style® allows students to branch out, taking the original moves and adding their own flavour – be it other types of bellydance or completely different dance styles to create something new. This is known as Tribal Fusion.
