The Madison Bellydance Alliance is a loose confederation of fans and practitioners of Middle Eastern Dance in the Madison, Wisconsin area. Whether you are a professional dancer, an enthusiastic student, a musician, or simply someone who enjoys watching bellydance—from raqs sharqi to Tribal styles, from folkloric to gothic—you are welcome to join us. Our community shows offer performance opportunities to dancers of all levels in a relaxed atmosphere.
The next MadBdA-sponsored event will be the Peace, Love, and Shimmies Hafla on Saturday, June 30, 2012. This fun outdoor event will feature a cookout and potluck, mini-classes, and performances to music by the artists of Woodstock 1969! See the event page for more information.
