Calling all Belly Dancers and Middle Eastern, African, Flamenco, Moroccan influenced musicians!

It is time for the 3rd annual Burning Bellies invasion at Center Camp Café and the Man. We are looking for dancers of all ages, shapes, sizes, styles and skill levels for a large group performance in Center Camp.

This year, after a number of requests we have decided to go back to our roots a bit and do an invasion based on the 2002 Dancin’ up a Storm that inspired the Burning Bellies invasions of 2003 and 2004. We are looking for a couple of strong dancers or troupes for “spotlight” type dances, while the rest of us wind our way through Center Camp for a brief performance in the circle, then we will head out to the man.

For the performance in Center Camp we will have recorded music, then for the trip to the man to pay our final respects we would like live musicians. We have done this in years past and it has been a lot of fun. Live musicians are vital to the dance at the man, unless of course you don’t mind undulating, ummying, and mayaing to the music in your head or mine.

If interested in the “spotlight” type dance please contact Kat at bellies@burningman.com with the following information:

Name/Troupe Name
If you are in a Troupe and you all want to do something (how many members will be there)
Camp (where I can find you on the playa)
Email address, so we can chat before the playa
Type of dance you want to do for the “spotlight”
How much space you will need for the dance
Specialty (Sword, Flamenco, Skirt, etc)
Other requests?

If you are interesting in participating in the invasion and want more information please go check out our tribe at burningbellies.tribe.net. That is also the place I will post the date and time and any other events in regards to the Burning Bellies.
