Classic FatChanceBellyDance®Style Music and Movements

Find new inspiration from Old School musicality! Inspired by a conversation Kathy had with Carolena about music and its influence on FCBD® in the early days, this workshop takes you on a journey of music and movement. Working with classic and modern steps, we look through the lens of tempo and timing to explore how musicality influenced the vocabulary of movements we still use today.
