Building strength does not require a fast and heavy workout.

As dancers, moving mindfully between isometric exercises can enhance your presence, focus, body awareness, peripheral vision while safely building strength.

Grab a yoga mat (and a couple of blocks if you have them) and join DeAnna for a class that you will want to return to often.

DeAnna Freeman

DeAnna has studied and taught FCBD®Style belly dance (formerly American Tribal Style, or ATS®) and yoga for over 20 years. She owns and runs FatChanceBellyDance®University, the official learning source for FCBD®Style, where she oversees certification and continuing education and mentors teachers around the world.

Her dance journey began in 2004, when she met Megha, Director of Devyani Dance Company, and fell in love with FCBD®Style. She was among the very first to receive Sister Studio and Teacher Certification outside of FatChanceBellyDance®, is one of only a handful of FCBD®Style Continuing Education Instructors in the world, and was part of the inaugural FCBD®Style Advanced Teacher Training group. She has taught and performed on stages and in studios worldwide.

DeAnna is also a 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher, a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, and a Therapeutic Yoga Specialist through Yoga Medicine®. Her classes draw on both the scientific, structural and functional elements of movement and its holistic and artistic side, in a relaxed, professional environment where students can elevate their skills safely and have fun doing it.
