What is a Certified Studio?



A Certified Studio is actually a person rather than a building and in this case it’s me, Kelley.

We are graduates of General Skills for FCBD® style (formerly ATS®) who have also undertaken Teacher Training with our mentor and master teacher Carolena Nericcio in order to qualify as a Certified Studio


These teachers are dedicated to presenting FCBD® style as created and developed by FatChanceBellyDance® director and master teacher Carolena Nericcio who is based in San Francisco.




These Studios do not blend FCBD® style with other styles of dance, tribal or otherwise. They present FCBD® style only and clearly separate it from any other styles of dance they may present.

Our goal is that you, the student, should be able to attend an FCBD® style class anywhere in the world and receive consistent, quality instruction.
