Belly dance seminar season is around the corner! It’s time to mark your calendars and plan for some serious shimmying.

As a dancer, the education never stops. If you are a beginner or a successful professional dancer, not everyone knows everything. Just as real estate professionals, doctors and lawyers participate in continuing education, so should dancers. There is always a new method or technique to add to your repertoire. Attending seminars and workshops, especially those close to home,  are an opportunity for learning and for connecting with the local dance community.

I will be adding updates as soon as I receive them. In the meantime, here are some seminars for your review:
