All performers in the Alf Laylah Wa Laylah hafla please read the rules and fill out the following information and email to Samira


  1. *Email music MP3 or MP4 or mail CD with only your show  music on it to Samira 2 weeks or more before your show date.  She will be making a show playlist for the venue on her ipod. Bring another CD of your  music for back up to  the show.

  2. *When not performing you  must wear a coverup over costume (or regular clothing of course).  This is out of consideration for whomever is performing, but also for the protection of your own costume from spills.

  3. *This is a community event.  Please try to arrange your day so you can watch and support your fellow dancers as much as you can. 

  4. *Costuming and dance must be family friendly

  5. *All styles of belly dance- from folklore to sparkly to fusion is welcome. We will try to arrange shows to show variety of our art form

  6. *Alf Laylah Wa Laylah has one women’s room.  They are planning on renovating and expanding soon, but in the meantime please try to come as close to “in costume” as possible and already in full makeup.

  7. *Solo performer’s door fee is waived, but still please stick to the $10 minimum per person per table

  8. *We can’t waive the door fee for whole troupes, I’m sorry.  Troupes get 2 free passes for door fee

  9. *Bring all your friends and family!  Please help promote this art form by sharing info about the show far and wide!

  10. *The performance space is a long rectangle and the floor is tile

  11. *There will be one or two features each month, with 15 minute shows.  Other performers will have shorter time slots.  Length of time depends on number of participants and level or performer.
