LEVEL 1 CLASS
Learn to dance by drilling the basics in fun combinations. Using both slow movements and fast steps we'll get you dancing in your first class! You will learn all the basic movements and group formations, including posture and body awareness, zils and music. We will introduce you to partner and group dancing.
*Best class for beginners.
LEVEL 2 CLASS
Refine individual technique by drilling basic steps and their variations in creative combinations. Although open to all levels, this class is best used simultaneously with Dance Fundamentals as there are no descriptions of the basic steps. To take this class you must understand partner and group dancing (Level 1, above.)
WHAT IS ATS®?
In our classes you will learn American Tribal Style® (ATS®), a modern style of belly dance created by FatChanceBellyDance® director, Carolena Nericcio in San Francisco. ATS® movements are inspired by folkloric dances of the Middle East, North Africa, Spain and India. ATS® is a method of improvisational choreography, using a vocabulary of movements and cues allowing the dancers to communicate while dancing. Learning ATS® is like a learning a new language!
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
“I've been studying ATS with ZOKU族 for a couple of years now and I cannot recommend them enough. The classes are always fun yet informative and just the right amount of a challenge! Shel and Nening are incredible teachers and I don't say that lightly!”
