CHELMSFORD, CANVEY, COLCHESTER

We teach and perform only FCBD American Tribal Style (ATS) Belly Dance. After many years of training with some of the best Bellydance teachers in the world, including intensive training with FatChanceBellyDance master teacher Carolena Nericcio and Megha Gavin of Devyani, we decided to form our own troupe Akula Tribal to enable us to share the knowledge that has been passed on to us with our own students.
We are always delighted when asked to perform at a wide variety of events, should you wish to book Akula Tribal, please contact us (if we aren't already busy on that date) we would love to come along. If your event is for charity, we usually offer our services for free.We are also available for ATS workshops, please check our Events Page for any that we may be teaching in your area!...
Our inspiration will always be the director of FatChanceBellyDance and creator of American Tribal Style Belly Dance (ATS) Carolena Nericcio,the wonderful Megha Gavin of Devyani, our fantastic teacher Deana of Tribal Unity who we thank for not only sharing her knowledge, but also for her encouragement and support!...Along with all of the other fabulous dancers we have met and are yet to meet on this amazing journey...Namaste!

AMERICAN TRIBAL STYLE BELLYDANCE performances are
always exciting, unpredictable and refreshingly different as they are
generally total improvisation (although most audiences would mistakenly believe they are fully choreographed!). All moves are initiated by the lead dancer, who usually stands in the front left position of the formation, through a series of subtle cues and transitions. These formations and cues are the anchor of improvisational choreography, even the occasional formal choreography is created around the logic of the formations and cues. One of the most wonderful things about ATS bellydance is that as a student, performer or teacher, once you have learnt the moves and are able to read the cues, you are no longer restricted to dancing solo or only with your own troupe. As an ATS bellydancer you can join in and dance with any other person, anywhere in the world, who also understands the 'ATS language'...
