Join DeAnna for a weekend of workshops in Italy.
Your body is your instrument
Tune in to your unique anatomy and discover your fcbd®Style potential.
DAY ONE
Lower body movements are a combination of control and release. Knowing which muscles to contract, which ones to release and why is essential to finding more bounce in your step, more twist in your turns and more stability in your levels and spins.
Our morning session will explore the many differences in each physical body and learn how to use our body types to find the fullest expression of our FCBD®Style movements.
This workshop is a combination lecture, conditioning, technique and plenty of dance drills.
2.5 hours
Do you know why everyone’s shimmy looks a little different? Or how your gait and everyday habits could impact the amount of bounce in your hips? A beautiful shimmy relies on more than just our hips and posture.
The afternoon session utilizes our morning discoveries to help you find your biggest, bounciest 3/4 shimmy by tapping into better balance on the balls of your feet, learning to relax your glutes, contracting in all the right places, finding that magical shimmy mindset!
We’ll take this shimmy magic and expand into more challenging steps and combinations within the shimmy family.

DAY TWO
So much of what makes FatChanceBellyDance®Style stunning is strong posture and an uplifted.
This morning session will help you gain a deeper understanding behind the anatomy and detailed technique in our upper body movements. FEEL the movements within your own anatomy and learn how to safely and effectively increase your range of motion for deeper torso movements including slow turns, rotations, undulations, laybacks and more. We will also work on pranayama (breath control) to increase stamina and how to harness this energy to create a more powerful, energetic performance.
This is an excellent workshop to gain more self-awareness, release tension that is inhibiting your movements and dance with more ease.
This workshop is a combination lecture, conditioning, technique and plenty of dance drills.
2.5 hours
Duets are dynamic, powerful and exhilarating! This workshop explores FCBD®Style duet combinations, including the Devyani combinations and many others featured in Volume 9. We’ll also work with partner exercises, power duets and exciting lead transitions!
The afternoon session will cultivate all our prior sessions into an experience of feeling more connected to yourself and others, more confident in your movements, dancing with more ease and better technique than ever before.
See how great your body, mind and spirit can feel with the beauty of FCBD®Style.
