Thank you for your interest in performing at the Essence of Belly Dance 13 Gala Shows! To apply, please complete the required information at the links on this page and be prepared to submit examples of your performance, along with a bio and a promotional photo.

To be eligible, you must be registered for at least one full day of workshops during the event. Priority will be given to Full Weekend Pass holders, other registered dancers, and special invitees.

PLEASE NOTE: To ensure more dancers have the opportunity to perform throughout the weekend, those participating in the competition will not be eligible to perform in the Gala Show.

The Gala Shows will take place on Friday and Saturday night, September 26 and 27, 2025, featuring both live and recorded music, with performances by instructors and special guests. Placement in either show will be determined by our team to ensure a seamless flow of styles and moods throughout the event.
