American Tribal Style Bellydance
American Tribal Style Bellydance
 
Keep fit, lose weight, improve self-esteem and confidence, and of course have FUN by taking these dance classes. It is a powerful, graceful, feminine and earthy group form of bellydance without scary solos or choreographies to worry over. There is also a little bit of magic in it which means everybody does it right no matter how new they are. Those who look for it will find a deep spiritual side to this dance, but this is not emphasised in the class, however the community is there if you want to be a part of it. Under Nicola's energetic, slightly crazy tutoring you will learn the amazing isolations that characterise bellydance, but without a hint of flirtyness or cheekiness. Oh, and be prepared to have a giggle (just not too much heckling of the teacher!)
Nicola Atkin has been dancing for six years, teaching for three, and was the first UK instructor to be personally trained and certificated in the USA by the famous creator of this dance style, Carolena Nericcio of Fat Chance Belly Dance. After receiving extensive training from many other renowned international teachers, Nicola's performances and workshops in her improvisational skirt, candle, sword, african, bollywood, gothic dance and zills are sought-after and have helped produce several new tribal teachers. Heavily involved in the international Tribal bellydance community by hosting regular international intensive events, having co-founded the first international Tribal magazine, and through her costume business BellyNut Tribal, Nicola's aim now is to grow the wonderful, supportive community surrounding this dance that allows each of us to feel worthwile and perfect just how we are, and to see the same in others.
