Class fees: 8-Week Class Card:
You are always welcome to drop-in ($20/class). However, I offer an 8-weeks card for a discounted price. Your cards are not part of a session, they are simply individual classes to use whenever you want. So if you miss a class in the course, you do not lose the class from your card. Class cards are valid for one year from the date of purchase. Cards are purchased at OmBellyCo studio ($135 for 8 classes).
ATS (American Tribal Style):
This class, based on Fat Chance belly dance ATS repertoire of moves, will focus on teaching the theory of tribal style through the study of its specific vocabulary of moves, as well as understanding the concept of cues, leading and following etc. Students will be able to dance in a group in a style that looks choreographed but is, in fact, completely improvised. ATS is a beautiful and mesmerizing dance style, sometimes compared to a dancing meditation, which enables dancers to feel connected to a “tribe” of other dancers while sharing a powerful and elegant dance form.
