But what is a “belly dance convention”?
I’m so glad you asked.Â
A dance convention is typically a group of workshop and other similar sessions that are taught by multiple teachers over a number of days. These sessions can be very specialized or be a mix of many dance styles and skill levels.
It’s also a chance for professional through to hobbyist dancers alike to share knowledge, connect with each other and enjoy a weekend of learning, sharing and dancing.
Who is the belly dance convention for?
You! It is for teachers and students; older and younger dancers; experienced and inexperienced dancers; professional dancers and hobbyists.
Basically, everyone!
The idea is there are a lot of different sessions aimed at different levels.Â

Why I liked sharing at the convention
"There is always something new to discover, sometimes you just have to wait to discover what that 'something' is. This is why we have the 'rabbit hole ' principle, when you start heading down one, you have found new learning! Who knows where it will take you!"
- Zahraa
Why did I want to share my knowledge
"I would like to share my Chinese belly dance infusion is that I am proud of my country's culture. I am from a country which has a huge history as well as fantastic music and dance culture. And bellydance has also been so popular in China in the past 20 years. So when these elements infuse together, the bellydance becomes so exciting, different and artistic. I would like to share it with dancers in Australia. Meanwhile, I also hope my knowledge regarding choreography and movements can be helpful to some dancers."
