Workshops

Great shimmies. Fluid undulations. But are your arms keeping up? Arms and hands are often the last thing we focus on — yet they're the finishing touch that separates a good dancer from a truly captivating one. In this workshop, you'll learn simple, accessible techniques that bring grace and intention to your entire upper body, so every movement — from your shoulders to your fingertips — feels complete, expressive, and beautifully yours.

There's something undeniably mesmerizing about a dancer moving with candlelight. In this workshop, you'll learn how to incorporate votive candles into your slow dance repertoire — exploring candle holds, arm and hand positions, and flowing spirals rooted in FCBD® slow vocabulary. Elegant, hypnotic, and surprisingly accessible, this prop will add a whole new dimension to your performance.

Baskets have been part of everyday life across cultures, which is why dancing with them has such universal appeal. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to adapt FCBD® vocabulary so the basket enhances the movement without overshadowing the dance. We’ll cover essential basket holds, simple integrations requiring minimal adjustment, and select fast movements that need more modification. By the end, you’ll be ready to confidently integrate this iconic prop into your dancing. Bring a balanceable basket (recommended 14” wide, 3–4” deep) and a head covering if needed.

Most dancers don’t struggle because they lack discipline — they struggle because they’re depleted, overwhelmed, or relying on motivation instead of systems. This workshop blends psychology, neuroscience, and dance-specific tools to help dancers understand their energy, build habits that actually stick, and create sustainable practice routines without burnout or guilt. Participants will leave with practical frameworks, personalized plans, and tools they can use immediately.

Dancing in Flow™ was created by Carolena Nericcio with the class format of "all dance, no talk."

No verbal instruction, no partners or formations, just follow along and bliss out or you just want to dance without thinking.

Dancing in Flow™ is a one hour class of ATS® Goodness divided into four, 15-minute segments with a silent water break every 15 minutes. Come dance. Come smile. Come Flow.

The Siren Project flamenco fan style combines dramatic flourishes, beautiful shapes, and a flamenco feel atop the existing FCBDStyle® slow movement vocabulary. In this workshop, you will learn how to hold and move with a standard flamenco fan (30-32cm/12-13 inches), including both static fan poses and fan floreos. We will practice slow moves ranging from simple to complex in elegant combinations that will shine and seduce. 

We don’t yet know what Richard will teach, but we do know it will be an incredible, informative class that will help you look your best on stage and off. About 90 days before the event, we’ll send out a survey asking attendees to pick one of a variety of classes which might focus on hair, lips, eyes, cheeks, etc.
