A few words on one of our favorite dance styles. 💃
This week, we'd like to dive into Tribal Fusion Bellydance.

---

Form of belly dance which was created by fusing American Tribal Style & American Cabaret bellydance. Artists incorporate elements from Popping, Hip Hop, 'Egyptian' or 'Cabaret', as well as movement principles from traditional forms such as Flamenco, Kathak, Odissi, and other folkloric and classical dance styles.

---

It was created by Jill Parker, influenced by Urban Tribal (Heather Stands) and ultimately became popular thanks to Rachel Brice & The Indigo Bellydance Company.

It is a dance that keeps growing and expanding, adding even more styles into the mix.

One of the bellydance styles we enjoy performing is
American Tribal (FCBD Style).

But "what is ATS?" people often ask us.

American Tribal Style® Belly Dance (FCBD®) is a style of dance created by FatChanceBellyDance® director, Carolena Nericcio, in the West coast of the USA in the 1970s.

This is a group improvisational dance (sometimes performed solo) that uses a common vocabulary of movements, steps and cues. It combines movement from folkloric inspired dances to a fusion of ancient dance techniques from North India, the Middle East, Spain and Africa.

Flowers are an important part of our costumes, deriving from cultures and traditions such as Slavic and pagan, flamenco and more. Worn on the head or as patterns on our scarfs and skirts. The more the better! Aiming to multiply them while collecting our garments. And of course to keep blooming. Happy first of May to all! 💐🌹🌷🌺🌸🏵️🌻🌼💮🌾

Nostalgic fun times during sunny busking days...
