Janet Taylor

Janet relocated to the San Francisco area in 2011 from Portland, Maine, where she was instrumental in creating and nurturing the ATS® community. She currently performs with studio troupe Tessera Tribal Belly Dance as well as with FatChanceBellyDance®, and is beyond grateful to be sharing her love of dance as part of the FatChanceBellyDance® teaching staff. She previously worked several years as a licensed massage therapist specializing in sports injuries, and brings a deep understanding of anatomy to her instruction, keeping students safe and happy while helping them learn more about how their bodies inhabit space.

She also writes at americantribaljanet.com, a blog discussing ATS® philosophy, technique, costume, teaching, and whatever else is on her mind.
