Started by Carolina Nericcio, the FatChanceBellyDance® style is now a worldwide phenomenon. It allows dancers to dance improvisationally as a group with the help of so-called cues and combines folkloric dance styles from the Middle East and India with elements of Flamenco.

Whether during online classes, workshops or joint shows.... Regardless of age, fitness or weight, the love of dance works it´s magic and connects dancers worldwide.

Our dance family
Anam Damhsa sees itself as a pure FCBD® group and we are happy and grateful to have access to a large network. The community is characterized by mutual respect, helpfulness and a generally positive attitude.

On our way to form our own group, we hade already gained experience in completely different or related styles, have been active in dance for many years and finally found the perfect base with Anam Chara and SOTO to further deepen our passion.

Anam Damhsa is a daughter group of Anam Chara and also a member of the SOTO association. Within our dance family we support each other, exchange ideas and of course dance together.
