ABOUT BRAVO BELLY DANCE
“Flow is when two dancers have the same muscle memory for steps,
interpret the music in the same way, have a similar skill level and use the ATS® formations of a duet, trio, and quartet.
Flow is dancing in the divine subconscious.”

Nice to meet you, my name is
Valerie
My love for belly dance began at age 9 and my journey began in 1998 when I started learning Raqs Sharqi with Leea Aziz in Walnut Creek, California.
After moving to Colorado in 2005, I discovered FatChanceBellyDance® belly dance with Barb Ferrill Van Hoy and fell in love with it. I then obtained my FCBD® Style General Skills Certificate and FCBD® Teacher Training Certification in September 2011. I have been passionate about teaching this group format ever since. I have a growth mindset teaching style and will encourage you out of your comfort zone. My goal is to teach you beautiful movements that will make you feel empowered. During my time of teaching, I have taken many workshops and private in-person instruction from pioneers in FCBD® Style. I acquired my FCBD® Advanced Teacher Training certification in September 2016. I am the one of two Certified FCBD® Style studios in Colorado and the first Advanced Teacher Trained in Colorado out of 22 worldwide.
I look forward to you joining us and many others worldwide in nurturing your dance growth and furthering your dance journey. Life is short, so let's dance! For up-to-date news, please like and follow my page.
