Berenike Ström

Berenike, an FCBD®️ Certified Studio since 2012 from Uppsala, Sweden, has been a part of our dance community for many years. Since 2011, she has continuously deepened her knowledge of the style, having had the privilege to learn extensively from nearly all the former members of FCBD®️ in person, as well as other highly respected dancers within the community.

With a deep passion and curiosity for the dance, Berenike explores both its rich tradition and its creative possibilities. She is dedicated to conveying the dance’s history and foundation, while seeking new paths and expressions within the style, sometimes with props. Her approach is rooted in a logical and organic connection to the source, combined with a generous dose of playfulness.

Dancing fast FCBD® Style to the 9/8 rhythm demystified

11.30 - 13.00 Saturday

Dancing fast to the 9/8 rhythm, because of its uneven pulse, is regarded as dialect within FCBD® Style - mysterious, intriguing, and sometimes considered the domain of the few. At first glance, its irregular structure can feel intimidating, even discouraging. But, this vibrant and exhilarating rhythm really is for everyone to enjoy!
In this workshop, we’ll unravel the mystery of the 9/8 rhythm and explore how it can energize and enrich your dance. We’ll break down the count and how you can play zills to it, and learn how to move to it with confidence and joy. Whether you’re just beginning your dance journey or are a seasoned dancer looking to expand your repertoire, this workshop is designed to make the 9/8 rhythm feel not only approachable, but fun and inspiring.
