Vintage Treasures: Swivel Step (Egyptian)
Explore Lost and Vintage Variations of the Swivel Step Family
The playful and joyful Swivel Step, part isolation and part “party down below”. We refined this step to showcase the swing of your hips and sway of your tassels!
Want to learn the vintage version of the Swivel Step that inspired the modern Egyptian Sevillana? Or the “Flower” formation of the Swivel Step we used to circle up and change leads?
Did you know there was no set count for calibrated spins from Swivel Step? From musicality to technique, this workshop was curated to bring back to life vintage steps and formations used in the early days of FatChanceBellyDance®. Join us as we explore lost and vintage variations of the Swivel Step family of movements.

If you’re vintage-curious or a proud vintage-revivalist, my Vintage Treasures workshops will broaden your dance history and grow your dance vocabulary with some vintage old school flair. I curated each workshop to bring back to life steps and formations that have been altered or lost in the evolution of FatChanceBellyDance® style.
