ATS bellydance by the creators of the format
|
American Tribal Style Belly Dance, or ATS for short, is an improvised group dance style that works on a system of short combinations and cues. It's mostly a mix of old-school American Caberet belly dance and flamenco arms and posture.
In this class you will learn how to dance with grace and strength, learn and have fun playing traditional bellydance finger cymbals, and get a great cardio workout, toning up your arms and shoulders as you dance and get fitter. It's also a totally unique bellydance experience, in that it is by nature a social dance made for dancing with others! So in this class you will be making friends with and dancing with your classmates, and becoming a part of a wonderful supportive community of dancers! |

"I love ATS for so many reasons. It's particularly fab for your posture and you meet people of all shapes and sizes and they all look GREAT, it is a real boost for your body confidence. The whole belly dance community is so welcoming and supportive, and ATS being spontaneous and non-choreographed means you don't have to remember lots of choreography!"
Rachael, an ATS Student "I'm a 50-something, and ATS is relatively new in my life. But I can tell you this, now I've found it I know I have to keep doing it. ATS transcends dance, and it transcends exercise. It's much more than the sum of its parts. It's about strength, trust, femininity; it's powerful but simple; it can be emotional too.
Oh, and the dressing up is, to use a Demi word, 'awesome'! " Sandra, an ATS student |
