FatChanceBellyDance® Certified Studio

FatChanceBellyDance®Style (formerly American Tribal Style®) is a modern, group improvisational style of belly dance created by Carolena Nericcio.

FCBD®Style is a fusion dance form. The movements are inspired by folkloric dances of the Middle East, North Africa, Spain, and India. It is a uniquely modern creation that does not represent an “authentic" dance from any particular region.

FCBD®Style is a method of improvisational choreography, using a vocabulary of natural movements and cues allowing the dancers to communicate via gesture and eye contact when dancing together.

Often unnoticed because of the elaborate costumes, exciting music, and sheer beauty of the dance, the core concepts of group improvisation are simple: leader to the left, followers to the right. Watch for interaction among the dancers, who always have their attention trained on the lead position, looking for the cue for the next step. When the dancers face each other and make eye contact, the lead is neutral, falling to the dancer who presents the next cue.

Dancing at First Fridays Aurora Downtown

Hey if anyone would like to join in, Pam & Susi will be dancing at First Fridays in Aurora on the evening of Friday.

When: 7:30pm (though I recommend trying to arrive at about 7pm if possible. There is a bathroom inside Zen Loft Wellness Center where you can do any final touchups to hair/makeup)

Where: Weather permitting, we will be dancing outdoors just outside Zen Loft, which is basically at the southwest corner of Downer & Stolp in Aurora! If weather does not permit, we will be inside of ZenLoft which is upstairs (about the same # as stairs as when you go to Dance Spot, only going up. haha!)

6 W Downer Place Aurora, IL 60506

What: Dancing, of course. All improv! We usually do about 4-5 songs, and you can dance as much or as little as you like. Want to do chorus and maybe pop into a song or two? That's cool!

Costuming: You can dress in as much FCBD-style costuming as you like. Want to go all out? Go for it! Want to go a bit more low-key? That's cool too! Sometimes some of us wear coin-bras, sometimes we just do a choli with a black tank top over. Sometimes full hair gardens, sometimes a side braid and a couple of flowers. We are all busy folks and many of us are coming from work so sometimes we don't have time to do *the whole thing* and that's okay! Don't have any costuming yet but are still interested in joining in? Let us know and we may be able to loan you some stuff!
