Student Troupe

This troupe is for... • Beginners who want to use the knowledge they have gained in bellydance classes in a supportive and safe dance environment. • Intermediate dancers who want to work on their performance skills and technique. • Advance dancers who want to be challenged while learning fun and complex improvisation and music. Along with student performance opportunities dancers will be added to our private discussion group on FaceBook to be emailed regular updated performance information and gain access to discussions throughout the year to enhance their dance practice. For performances students are grouped together by their class level and will perform with others of their same skill level. If you are very new to a level you may be placed in the previous level for performances until you are more familiar with the advanced ATS vocabulary. Additionally, advanced students may be selected, at the directors’ discretion, to perform with instructors or other advanced students for select shows based on skill level and ability. All students may not dance at all shows. Students do not have to dance to be part of the troupe. Those who are musically inclined, singing or playing an instrument, are also welcome to join to enhance performances and events.
