East meets Everyone is a community of Fat Chance Belly Dance format American Tribal Style Dancers, based in East Anglia. Our aim is to create a fun, supportive event founded on friendship and respect where ATS dancers get together and let their hair down!

We create opportunities to meet other ATS dancers, improve and challenge your improv skills and enjoy the magic of dancing together.
We meet every 2 months on a Saturday afternoon in Colchester Essex.

East meets Everyone events are NOT workshops. There is no structured teaching or drilling, with no directing plan for the session other than dancing together. It's like an ATS party!
We provide relaxed space for you to experiment with combos and dance with people you don't normally dance with to a variety of songs - without the pressure of a performance. Where it doesn't matter if you get into lead and the entire format falls out the back of your head, you muddle your cues, or have a bellydance crash - as long as you pick yourself up and keep going!
True improv!

As we are not teaching at this event, it is not suitable for those who have no prior knowledge of ATS. We ask that you understand formations and are familiar with the moves from FCBD Video1 or the 6 week Dance Fundamentals course. If you are still getting to grips with it all that's fine, nobody expects you to be perfect (we're certainly not!). We ask that you arrive with an open attitude to giving it a go in both fast and slow. For more experinced dancers there will be LOTS of opportunity to challenge yourselves. If you have any questions please have a chat with us first and we will do our best to advise you. We are a friendly bunch so do not hesitate to contact us.

We are a non profit organisation with all profits going to charity, all who are involved donate their time and effort for free, the hall that we use donates the hire money to their own chairty for housing the young homeless. Bob Geldof would be proud!

ATS is a beautiful language of steps and gestures enabling dancers to create real live art in the moment - allowing you to dance with absolutely anyone who knows the language. East meets everyone is about dancers from all over the UK getting together to do just this.
