American Tribal Style belly dance (ATS) is a modern style of dance created by FatChanceBellyDance director, Carolena Nericcio.
In 1974, Carolena began dancing with Masha Archer and the San Francisco Classic Dance troupe. Masha’s style was an eclectic blend of classic Egyptian, Folkloric and any other influence that she found enticing. Masha, a trained painter and sculptor, taught her dancers to create art through dance. In 1987, after the SF Classic Dance Troupe disbanded, Carolena began teaching, her only goal was to teach people to dance so she could have dance partners.

Little is known about Zuza Ben i Ford a dancer from Biskara in Eastern Algeria. Her story as far as I know it is confined to her visit to Newcastle upon Tyne and it is here that it sadly ended.

My tale starts some years ago, Angela my wife, was off to her first belly dance lesson. All seemed fine, she was off to have a good time and I was settling down to a beer on the settee, probably watching football or some other very important act. I should have felt the vibrations, the tiny tremor of the earth, because my life was about to change!

I began RAD ballet classes at age 5 and continued until I was 16. At this point I knew ballet was not for me and so started a journey through many other styles until now. Finally everything has come together the music, the attitude, the costume, the history, the community, in the fusion that is Tribal Belly dance.
