Tribal Style Belly Dance with Dana Adoptante

FCBD Sister Studios are graduates of General Skills for ATS, ATS Teacher Training and exclusive FCBD Teacher Training. These teachers are dedicated to presenting ATS as created and developed by FatChanceBellyDance director and master teacher Carolena Nericcio.

Sister Studios do not blend ATS with other styles of dance, tribal or otherwise. They present ATS only, or clearly separate ATS from the other styles of dance they are presenting. Our goal is that you, the student, should be able to attend an FCBD ATS class anywhere in the world and receive consistent, quality instruction.
