The belly dance program at Shine is taught by our professional and certified instructor Raven Sumner. The type of belly dance that you will learn in her classes is American Tribal Style (ATS). ATS is a modern fusion style created by Carolena Nericcio, Director of FatChanceBellyDance. It is influenced by the dance stylings of India, Spain, Morocco and the Middle East.

ATS has it’s own vocabulary of movements which uses specific cues and dynamic formations to provide an exciting and beautiful group improvisational dance.  Although ATS is improvisational, you can easily add the combinations into any choreography.

Raven is a General Skills and Teacher Trained in ATS by Carolena Nericcio. She is a Sister Studio with FatChanceBellyDance which ensures that the instruction she provides is the same quality and information as provided at the FatChanceBellyDance Studio in San Francisco.

Raven’s classes are currently mixed levels.  Drop in is $15 or a 4 class card can be purchased for $52.

Classes currently run Sundays 12-1:30. Please contact Raven directly for more information on how to register!
