“Z” is for “Zils.” Zils (finger cymbals) are an essential element of ATS®—not only are we improv choreographers, but we’re also our own musical accompaniment! Follow along with this simple exercise to sharpen your zil skills: 16 counts each of longa, military, baladi, and alternating rhythms, then repeat from the top. Start mid-tempo and work your way up to speed to build accuracy and clarity. Ready for a challenge? Swipe ⬅️ for Sofia’s “Mix & Match” zil drill to strengthen your coordination by pairing the four rhythms from the basic zil drill with the four basic fast movements. Happy zilling!

“X” is for "X marks the spot”! In order to communicate without words and dance in unison, we need to keep a good dance angle: in your dance box, feet and hips pointing to the left corner, torso opening to the front. In the improvisational style of ATS®, good dance angle is essential to send clear cues to your dance partners and create a beautiful presentation for the audience. Remember to take your dance box with you wherever you go! #ABCsofATS #xmarksthespot #cairoshimmyquake2019 #csq2019 #dancebox #danceangle #americantribalstyle #atsbellydance #fatchancebellydance #groupimprovisation
