Rachel Brice Name 5 different styles or genres of bellydance. Raks Sharqi, American Tribal Style, Turkish, Gothic and Taqsim. What is ATS, and how does it work? ATS is American Tribal Style and it features call-and-answer performance with other dancers or as a
whole group as well as, more uncommonly, solos. Often there is a chorus that provides a moving backdrop while the featured duet, trio, or quartet is the focal point. Dancers take turns coming out of the chorus in duets, trios and quartets because if, for example, five dancers were to come out into formation, the sight-line (view of the leader) is not as effective. Groups of 5 or more are generally used towards specific formations to improve this site-line issue. The principle dancers and the chorus work in an improvisational manner. Formations for the principle dancers and the chorus is also formalized in the ATS format to maximize dancer visibility to the audience and likewise maximize group visibility of the leader. The leader is always farthest to the left, followers to the right. Dancers angle their bodies to the left to be able to clearly read the leader's cues. The same rule applies for members of the chorus. When the dancers face each other in a circle, the lead is neutral. The next movement can be proposed by any dancer in the circle. The cues and formations are the secret behind group improvisational dance. They allow the dancers to move together without choreography. Sometimes, troupes will create formal choreography while still using the ATS specific formations and cues.
