Bellydance 1: Fatchance style® Basics

  • FCBD Style® is an improvisational (choreography-free!) style of belly dance that incorporates elements of Egyptian, Indian, flamenco, and other traditional dances from around the globe. The FCBD Style® system uses a standardized “vocabulary” of dance movements with built in cues and transitions that make it possible for dancers to improvise together in set formations. Students in Level 1 learn the foundational vocabulary and posture and practice following a leader in formation.


    No bellydance experience necessary. Beginners welcome!

Bellydance 2: fcbd® Intermediate

  • This intermediate FCBD Style® class builds on the foundations of Level 1. With a much larger vocabulary of movement, Level 2 spans two 8-week sessions and covers intermediate improvisational dance skills such as leading/following and dancing with a large group (chorus). At least two sessions of Level 1 and prior discussion with instructor required for admittance.

Floor & Flexibility

  • This class is designed to improve the strength and flexibility of hip movements, splits, shoulders, and spine through an alternating focus each week. 

    Our splits and hips classes will have both active and passive flexibility training for side and center splits. On alternating weeks, we will be focusing on opening the shoulders, hand balancing training, and backbends. 

    This is a wonderful class to take to improve your range of motion and allow for better, more functional movement. 

     This class is perfectly complemented by other weekly offerings: Check our schedule for handbalancing, yoga & flexibility, acro yoga, and backbends classes!
