DIPIKA VIJAY

INDIA

One movement = one word

Each word adds to the body of technique and awareness. Solid fundamentals make an amazing dancer. Understanding personal range of motion (ROM), movement potential and capacity, tools to work on flexibility, strength, and sequences to overcome deficiencies in daily practice are also part of this workshop.

Marrying Indian - God is in the fusions

Fusions are born from curiosity and love for craftsmanship. Let’s tell stories of romance and play through little combinations inspired by the vocabulary of ancient Bollywood, Indian folklore and classical dance along with belly dancing. Drama, flirtation and an open heart to enjoy learning thoroughly!

Booty on Beat

Precise and strong hip work makes a belly dancer very attractive. Precise locks, clean 3/4 hips, juicy falls, big turns, firm and loose swings are the basic elements of a powerful dance.

Stack it Up! Layer Mani

Stacking or superimposing means to place one movement on top of another, whether it be two very different body parts or the same one. We will superimpose locks, flowing mayas, taqseems, circles and some unusual body parts in expansive postures, crazy feet and fluid arms.

The Dirty & The Divine - Dipika’s style of belly dance

Strength, delicacy and energy are what makes dance fascinating. Special effects and stylization add the oomph. I have been told that strong feminine energy, animal instinct, grace and delicacy are the elements evident in my style. My mantra is strength, determination and grace. It shows in different ways in my work. Let’s explore orgasms, sugar and sprinkle some glitter.

KRISTINE ADAMS

United States

From studio to stage, and across 70 countries, Kristine Adams has shimmied her way through an extraordinary belly dance journey. Her lifelong love of dance led her to FatChanceBellyDance® in the early 2000s. She immediately felt at home in the South Van Ness studio and progressed quickly as a student. Her dedication paid off in 2005 when she was invited to join the professional FCBD® troupe. 

For over a decade, Kristine taught and performed as a principal dancer with the pioneering FatChanceBellyDance® company. She began teaching at the 670 studio in 2006, passing on the unique FCBD® style to eager students across the globe. Looking to connect with the global community, Kristine launched her acclaimed «From The Belly of a Traveler» world tour in 2012. The tour ran for four successful years until 2016, during which she visited 70 countries and danced with hundreds of dancers from around the world. 

After retiring from the FCBD® troupe in 2018, Kristine continued teaching and performing full-time, bringing her B-Side magic to audiences worldwide. The pandemic put her globetrotting career on hold in 2020. Now, after a hiatus, Kristine is honored to be reuniting with her beloved dance community. 

When not mesmerizing audiences with her moves, Kristine can be found supporting dogs and decoding canine behavior as a professional dog trainer and behavior consultant or found under a pile of books as she finishes her Masters degree. With decades of experience under her belt, she looks forward to many more years of connecting and sharing her lifelong passion for  dance. 

Kristine is ready to inspire a new generation of dancers and prove that the magic of the 670 studio lives on.
