What’s in a name?
As our ATS® family grows and we continue to add more opportunities for advanced training, we began to ponder what to call each new designation. After much deliberation, we have created a “cheat sheet” for you to use when explaining who you are and what your relationship to FatChanceBellyDance, Inc. entails.
Please feel free to use these titles on your business cards, marketing materials, etc.
Stay tuned for our NEW CUSTOMIZABLE FatChanceBellyDance® business cards, postcards, and other promotional materials coming soon!!

Thank you for this list!
Although it clears up a lot I still have a question (sorry): I studied ATS with a sister studio teacher back in 2011 and completed what was then called "Tribal Basics" and "Beyond Tribal Basics" courses - no New ATS material, just Old-School ATS. Is there an official status name corresponding to my level?
Thank you in advance for your answer ^^
Anais, these titles are for students that have graduated from one of our accredited programs. It does not apply to you. You are "a student of ATS®", a very good thing indeed!
Thank you for your answer^^.
I wasn't too sure about the right term and I'm happy to be a student of ATS® (and I'm looking forward to studying and learning more!)
Carolena, I love this! It's brilliant retooling of the syllabus. I have really been contemplating something you mentioned about level 1 (if I caught your drift correctly), that it should be fun for people and ignite their embrace of ATS®. To that end, something like the Chico is so fun and much less complex than other steps. And I like the flexibility of teaching turns in level 1. I will enjoy tinkering with the new format.

Love it! Thanks!
