Improv Tribal Belly Dance is a series of moves that are woven together through hand and verbal cues. In this sense, it becomes a universal dance form wherein anyone who learns the moves and their cues can dance together in an improvisational lead and follow fashion. It's a very liberating, proud and joyful dance form that celebrates dancers in all of their shapes, sizes, colors and emphasizes spontaneity, interaction and a fusion of both individual and group dynamics. Class will focus on American Tribal Style moves as well as other fusion and tribal choreographies that draw from various forms of dance, including Cabaret, African, Indian, Middle Eastern and Greek. Note: This is not an ATS only class. Improv Tribal Bellydance mixes ATS movements with various Improv Tribal Combos not created by Carolena Nericcio and Fatchance Bellydance.
This class will be a progressive mixed Level I class. We will work on learning, reviewing and solidifying the fundamentals of improv tribal bellydance. By the end of this eight week course, students will have a firm grasp of basic improv tribal bellydance movements and will be able to follow and dance in formation. We will review and continue to explore the basic movements taught in the previous session as well as introducing new movements, working on formations, and expanding our lead and follow skills. Basic zill instruction will be included; please have a pair of your own by the third week (9/15). Zills may be purchased online or at Comics Kingdom/The Oasis in Hampden. I recommend Saroyan or Turquoise brand:
Saroyan Zils
Comics Kingdom

This class is for students with any or no dance background, for students of all ages, sizes, sex, or gender. Please come in form fitting clothes that ensure easy movement and comfort; please no pantaloons or long skirts and I cannot see your alignment and make corrections to your form. NO COIN SCARVES OR DISTRACTING ACCESSORIES ALLOWED. Please be kind and respect the right of your fellow students to learn in non-distracting environment. Shawls and hip wraps are fine, as long as I can still easily see your muscles/hip movements.
