Arabesque Belly Dancing Competition

Arabesque Belly Dancing Competition
If you want a reason to visit sunny San Diego, California, well here is your chance. That is if you are a belly dancer and eager to compete or participate in a workshop. What a wonderful way to meet other dancers and to learn different techniques at the same time.

Raza Mashayeki of Tea Rose Productions in San Diego, California said that this is the first of its kind and promises to attract belly dancers from all over to take part in this event. She is hoping that it will become a yearly sensation. Those who live in San Diego will experience this for the first time, and they will have an opportunity to learn just how belly dancing is a growing phenomenon in the United States.

The event is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, September 15 & 16, 2007 at the Scottish Rite Center, 1895 Camino Del Rio South.

There are fees for the workshops, but not to worry, because they are reasonably priced. Raza has a workshop just about every hour throughout the day, and there are so many workshops.
