Belly dance is an ancient form of dance that historically women performed in the company of women. This style cannot be definitively attributed to one geographical area, because where women gathered, women danced. As time and dance evolved, a new dance form, cultivated by Carolena Nerricio, harkened back to the improvisation, the earthiness, and the natural movement of bodies to music. In comes "american tribal style" now known as FCBD style.This style of belly dance incorporates the natural movement of the body, and group improvisation .......Meet Missy, an FCBD dancer for 6+ years, and a belly dancer for 15+ years.
