About the event
Cultures all over the world have pelvic-centered dances that have traditionally been performed by women, whether it's one of the many forms of belly dance, Nigerian dance, or even the hula dance found in Hawaii. Dancing from our sacred center is in our blood. During this luxurious weekend in the mountains, we'll explore what belly dance means to us as women. We'll learn about different styles of belly dance, from ancient to modern, all while relaxing with a group of fun, supportive women. Whether you're an experienced dancer, or you're just curious about belly dance, you're welcome to attend!
