This is our first year putting on this grassroots event. If you wish to teach, be a back-up teacher, or be a part of this event please email Jessica at bellyhamdance@gmail.com.
We hope no one feels left out and if all class positions are full (see the schedule) let us know if you are interested in being in a larger undertaking next year.
We hope to make this event even grander and to have a teacher performace showcase.
