“In 1996, a new student caught my eye. Megha Gavin was talented and focused and approached the dance (and me) with respect. After moving away in 1998, she continued to refine her technique and often traveled to perform as a guest with FatChanceBellyDance. In 2003, she completed FCBD certified teacher training. Megha now directs the Devyani Dance Company in Birmingham, Alabama. ”
– Carolena Nericcio, director of FatChanceBellyDance

Tribal:Pura an alchemy of art and science is our exploration of Traditional Tribal Style Bellydance. Using the guidelines of classical art and the science of anatomy to communicate an absolute style. We hope you will join us in our enthusiasm for Tribal in its original form.

In the coming year look for a new video/dvd featuring new movements and steps developed by Devyani and FatChance. Megha and Carolena will be available for Tribal:Pura workshops, both at our sister studios and around the country. Contact us if you would like information about bringing a Tribal:Pura workshop to your area.
