ATS® (American Tribal Style®), level 1: a repeating eight-week programme which covers the foundational principles of ATS®: posture, slow and fast movements, formations, and leading and following. Ziva is a certified teacher of the FatChanceBellydance® ATS® format.
Please be aware that this is a cumulative course, so if you’ve never done it before it’s best to be there from the first lesson. Drop-ins are only admitted if dancers have already completed a term at this level. It is expected that dancers repeat the level 1 course several times to perfect the material contained therein (i.e. don’t worry if you don’t “get” it all in one go!).
*Venue note: if you come up the stairs to find the studio full of ballerinas, turn right into the office, then keep turning right to reach the changing room.
ATS® level 2: this class builds on the level 1 syllabus to broaden the movement vocabulary, and offers plenty of movement drills and practice in group improvisation. Not suitable for dancers with no ATS® experience.
ATS® level 3: By invitation only, this is a class for experienced ATS® dancers. Advanced moves and combinations are introduced, while the basics are kept fresh with group improvisation sessions to build stamina. Performance preparation exercises form a key part of this class.
