Kallisti Tribal presents the Electric Maid ATS Mixer! For the curious to the experienced in American Tribal Style Bellydance. Have you taken or observed a few classes, danced from video, or attended Tribal Pura or General Skills certification workshops? Have you wished there were more opportunities to just play and exchange this dance vocabulary with others? The Mixer is a low-key event for dancers to flex their improv muscles outside of class or performance in an intimate, sharing community arts venue. No pressure, no recital, no judgement, no costumes, just time to mingle and dance with the far flung MD/DC/NoVa community. Dancers should come prepared to freely improv with others based on their comfort level in American Tribal Style (ATS) as established by Fat Chance Bellydance (FCBD).

Dancers will self-select at the door their dance experience level (newbie/some experience/skilled),
from which trios will be selected lottery style to mix it up and dance together on a small stage or open floor to short sets of dj'd music! Depending on the space arrangements, some larger chorus or circle arrangements may also be possible. While all brands of tribal improv are welcome, we suggest leading only with ATS moves so that we can dance with the confidence and ease that comes with sharing a single vocabulary. Here are some examples of the moves and principles, and there are many videos to study from on DVD and youtube, and of course, our local ATS teachers who've posted their class offerings in these forums!

Get ready to hafla like we wanna!
