This year's special guests

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.

Our own moria chappell is returning with an all-new gala show!!

Moria Chappell is a world-renowned performance artist, dance instructor, ancient dance researcher, artistic director, and costume designer who specializes in Fusion & Experimental Belly Dance, Temple Dance, and Indian Odissi Classical Dance. She has performed, taught, and researched ancient dance in more than 50 countries over her 20-year dance career.

Known for her archetypal approach to performance craft, her style is both feminine and fierce, ancient and modern, sacred and strange.

A popular and sought after teacher, Moria has developed a unique methodology and approach to belly dance control, the foundation of which is her trademark teaching style: Muscular Belly Dance Technique (MBDT). MBDT synthesizes the intensity and precision that epitomizes Fusion Belly Dance isolation and individualism.

Lacey began her journey into Belly dance at the early age of 15 in southern California with Patricia Johnson. Her love for this beautiful art form was immediate; she began performing at bellydance events and around campfires at SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) events almost instantly. The thrill of live drums and dancing with her sisters was inspiring. She took this love for the dance all the way through high school and pursued a dance degree at Victor Valley Community College. She studied many forms of classical dance including Ballet, Jazz, Modern, and Ballroom. However, Lacey sustained an injury that would prevent her from ever pursuing a career in classical dance. To her surprise though, because Belly Dance is best danced barefoot her doctor approved and encouraged her to continue Belly dancing.

Lacey then traveled cross country from California to Central Florida where she was exposed to the large community of American Cabaret Belly dancers in Florida. Lacey then spent the next four years studying, teaching, and performing American Cabaret Belly dance in Florida as well as in Southern California. It was in her last trip to California where her original love for Folk Fusion Belly dance was re-ignited. Lacey then made the decision that she wanted to bring her experience and love of this unique style Belly dance to Florida. So she began Wild Garden Bellydance (originally known as "Florida Tribal Dance") in November of 2006 for just that reason.

Lacey is the director of Wild Garden Bellydance Troupes: Aeonium Dance Collective, offering professional Modern Folk Fusion performances, Blue Caravan, a troupe specializing in Folk Fusion Group Improv, and Silver Sage, Wild Garden Bellydance's student troupe.
