This is the first event of it's kind in Dallas! Sa'diyya, a multiple award winning bellydancer, is the producer of this new event that is meant to be a fun, supportive and nurturing environment for up-and-coming DFW area bellydancers.
Each contest will have 3 instructors/professional bellydancers as the qualified judges. Along with Sa'diyya, 2 other local pros will share their expertise with contest hopefuls. Each contest will feature different pros for variety and community.
Contestants will receive constructive written feedback that they can apply to their dance training. This contest is meant for any student dancer who isn't currently performing for money as his/her main source of income and/or who ins't teaching regular bellydance classes. It's also for any style of bellydance! The combination of the contestants' live dance performance and receiving valuable instruction from the area's top pros will be a priceless experience for participants!
Contestants and judges are encouraged to invite their family and friends!
