Enjoy this special zil class with Carolena Nericcio, creator of FatChanceBellyDance®Style!
The Moroccan Six zil pattern is a specialty pattern mostly used by the chorus during "riffing" or while the formation is dancing dramatic slow. It adds an extra vibrancy to your set and helps the dancers tune into the trance-like rhythm of 6/8 music.
In this class, Carolena will share the origins of this zil pattern, break down the pattern and provide a variety of drills to her favorite 6/8 songs.

Carolena Nericcio is the creator of FatChanceBellyDance® Style.
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. In 1987, after the SF Classic Dance Troupe disbanded, Carolena began teaching in a small studio in the Noe Valley Ministry. Her only goal was to teach people to dance so she could have dance partners.
Being young and tattooed, Carolena attracted other young people living alternative lifestyles. The Modern Primitives movement was also underway. Tattoos and primitive styles of body adornment were the vogue. Carolena and her students performed at tattoo shows and conventions and became well known in the City by the Bay.
