About Liz Malcom
Liz Malcom, FatChance Certified Educator (FCCE), Advanced Instructor
After years of exploring, learning, and performing various styles of folkloric bellydance, Liz was introduced to Carolena Nericcio’s FCBD® Style. She was immediately drawn to its strong aesthetic, thoughtful blend of world dance influences, and the supportive nature of group improvisation. On Carolena’s recommendation, Liz began training with regional teacher Megha Gavin. Megha’s dedication to preserving and expanding Carolena’s vision eventually led her to become Carolena’s partner in FCBD®. When Megha relocated to Birmingham in 2004, Liz’s own journey in FCBD® Style began in earnest.
What captivated Liz then continues to fuel her passion today: the appreciation of diverse cultures, the precise artistry of posture and cues, and the sense of community the dance creates. These values have guided her on a lifelong path of study, practice, and teaching.
With more than two decades of experience, Liz brings deep knowledge, heartfelt passion, and a welcoming presence to every class, workshop, and certification course she leads. She is one of only a handful of FCCE instructors worldwide—a role she accepts with gratitude and honor.
Liz is also the director of Birmingham’s Dala Dance Company, which is dedicated to building a joyful, supportive community that celebrates connection and cultural appreciation through dance. Known for her warm and encouraging teaching style, Liz helps students grow in confidence through solid technique, musicality, and connection with fellow dancers. Whether she’s leading workshops across the country or teaching her weekly in-person and online classes, Liz is a joyful, grounded, and inspiring presence in the global FCBD® community.
What is an FCCE instructor? FCCE stands for Fat Chance Continuing Education. This means an FCCE teacher has devoted themselves to annual intensive training directly with Carolena Nericcio, creator of FatChanceBellyDance® Style. FCCE teachers can provide the highest training & credits to Partner Studios within the FCBD® format.
