What started as a simple belly dance class in San Francisco in the late 1980s has flourished into the phenomenon known as American Tribal Style(R) Belly Dance, or ATS(R). An elegant system for group improvisation using specific steps, combinations, formations, and transitions, ATS(R) is the global language shared by enthusiastic followers of Carolena Nericcio-Bohlman's FatChanceBellyDance (FCBD) troupe. ATS(R) is a living, breathing, vibrant conversation in improvisational movement. What's more, once you learn the core elements, you can join in the dance, wherever you go. Whether you are a novice, experienced student, or teacher, this companion guide was created to help build and refresh your knowledge of ATS(R). It offers full-color photos of professional dancers, written instructions, and visual body maps, as well as action and visualization segments. Designed to be used in concert with the expansive FCBD(R) video collection, it's a quick and easy-to-use reference for ATS(R) dancers of all levels.
