Everyone (i.e. each soloist and every member of a troupe) dancing in the show must purchase an all-day pass (does not apply to individual and professional members of INBC or workshop instructors).  On the night of the show, Act I performers should report to the green room (basement level) no later than 6:30 pm.  Act II performers should report no later than 7:00 pm.  Instructors who want to perform in the show need to complete an application.  We will not be able to automatically reserve a spot in the show for you!

See additional information for performers under the FAQ section below.

Swap ‘n Shop

We are pleased to announce the return of the ever-popular Swap ‘n Shop to Summer’s End. Here’s what you need to know:

• Swap ‘n Shop sales for this event will be CASH ONLY, so you might want to visit the ATM on your way in! (Note: if you must use another form of payment, you can track down the seller and work something out directly with them.)
• You do not have to pre-register to sell your stuff, but you must be an individual or professional member of INBC.
• If you are selling stuff, you must download and print the “SwapNShop tags” file here. You will complete a whole row of 3 tags for EACH item you are selling. The first (leftmost) tag is for your records. The other two tags should be safety-pinned to the item (do not separate the two tags – that will happen when the item is sold).
• Liz Wray did an excellent Swap ‘n Shop tutorial video for a prior Bazaar that will explain the whole process (and put you in a good mood). You can watch the video on YouTube here.
• If you have any questions, please email inbcisametd@gmail.com.

Vendors

Shopping is always a big part of our events (and belly dancers love to shop)!  Enjoy shopping at:

• Red Vardo Arts featuring printed garments, crystals and gems, and massage therapy.
• Mid East Magic offering a variety of middle eastern treasures.

Booth size is 8′ x 8′; cost is $75 per booth space.  Individual members receive discounted pricing of $50 per space.  Professional members can get their first booth space for only $5 with additional spaces (if available) at $50 each

Volunteers are the backbone of a successful event.  If you’d like to help out, we’d love to have you!  There are many positions available including:  Swap ‘n Shop clerk, Vendor assistant, set up, tear down, and more!  Volunteers will receive a special thank you gift.

If you are able to help, please let us know by sending us an email.  If there’s a particular job or time slot you’re interested in, feel free to include that information in your email.  When you arrive at the event, please let the registration desk know that you signed up to volunteer and we will work with you to find an opportunity that fits with your schedule and skillset!

What’s all this stuff I’m seeing about “individual” and “professional” members?
The INBC membership structure changed effective for renewal and join dates in 2025.  When you renew or join in 2025, you will be able to choose from 3 levels of membership:  supporter, individual, or professional.  Each level comes with its own benefits (see our Membership Options page for complete details).  If you renewed or joined in 2024, you will remain an individual level member until your 2025 renewal date.
