A short video explaining exactly who we are and what we do.

Carolena Nericcio (creator of FatChanceBellyDance®) ; 1997 at Delilah's 10 day Visionary Belly Dance Retreat in Hawaii Carolena was the guest instructor, Claire Wesley hosted an interview that VDP recorded. Very historic. Sorry about spelling her name wrong on title. It was suppose to be checked before up load. To be changed it has to be re up loaded and it's gotten a lot of hits and we do not want to loose them. Forgive us please.

Jamila Salimpour (Masha Archer’s teacher) has been teaching her dance format since 1949. She created Bal Anat in the late 1960's, thereby creating the tribal belly dance movement.
