Tradition, Innovation, and the Magic of Group Flow: American Tribal Style as a living, evolving conversation.

Created by Mimi Fontana, founder of Manhattan Tribal and sister studio to Fat Chance Belly Dance, this program teaches the group improvisation format that defines ATS — plus solo applications for Tribal Fusion artists, so you can move with precision, presence, and communal magic.

What makes this program essential:
✅ Authentic ATS foundation:
 • Slow and fast technique drills of classic Fat Chance Belly Dance movements
 • Clear instruction in improvisational cues, formations (duets to quartets), and group dynamics
✅ Manhattan Tribal innovation:
 • 7 original combinations (3 slow, 4 fast) that blend ATS tradition with modern flair
 • Step-by-step breakdowns with extensive group drills for seamless ensemble performance
✅ Solo practice for Tribal Fusion dancers:
 • Every combination includes a solo version + dedicated drills—so soloists can deepen their Tribal vocabulary without a troupe
✅ Mimi’s masterful teaching:
 • Precise, supportive, and deeply attuned to the aesthetic integrity that makes ATS mesmerizing
 • Emphasis on form, timing, and expressive nuance—not just steps

Ideal for:
• ATS dancers preparing for group performance or certification
• Tribal Fusion soloists wanting to refine their foundational technique
• Teachers building curriculum in structured improvisation and group choreography
