✨ About The Style ✨
Flamenco Dialect is a further development of FatChance-Style®* and focusses on movements inspired by flamenco. The fact that flamenco has a major influence on FCBD-Style® is clearly recognisable from the elevated posture and elegant floreos alone. In the Flamenco Dialect, these elements are emphasised and expanded even more.
The Siren Project Manton Dialect is a rich, flamenco- and bellydance-inspired movement language created by Agata Zakrzewska from Warsaw. This captivating dialect draws influences from Flamenco Fusion (Devi Mamak), FatChanceBellyDance®Style, and veil technique from Raks Sharki, merging these elements into a dynamic and expressive dance style centered around the manton (large shawl).
Join us and experience the beauty of manton dance!
*************
*What is FatChance-Style®?
Do you like to laugh, love dancing, especially making new friends and can't get enough of moving to exciting, versatile music? Then FCBD-Style® is just the thing for you! Hardly any other dance style will make it so easy for you to find new friends with whom you can laugh and dance together.
FCBD-Style® is a modern American development of Egyptian dance that mixes it with elements from flamenco and Indian Kathak.
Using a sophisticated system of non-verbal commands, the dancers remain in constant communication with each other and dance in synchronisation, sometimes with complex and effective formation changes. Graceful, powerful and dynamic movements in various formations - without any choreography!

Please check the studio calendar. There will be no weekly class during german holidays. But we will try to organise some specials for you :-)
