fostering interest and understanding, whilst encouraging sharing of information, developing /promoting ethical standards and facilitating learning and performance opportunities.
Our Vision
To have Middle Eastern Dance recognised as a creative art and dance form in New Zealand, that is accessible to everyone in a safe and welcoming environment.
We believe anyone can benefit from the regular practice of belly dance, and everyone is welcome to participate, whatever their challenge is.
