About the Indiana Bellydance Collective
The Indiana Bellydance Collective is a group of belly dance performers, musicians, students, and teachers in Indiana and surrounding areas. We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit corporation that supports the bellydance community by:
- Organizing events featuring workshops and performance opportunities for bellydancers and musicians
- Partnering with local event organizers to provide marketing and logistical support
- Engaging in community outreach advancing and promoting the art of bellydance
- Providing online resources for dancers and the community at large
We have also established a network of Regional Ambassadors. The Ambassadors provide local representation for the various dance communities throughout the state and act as a point of contact for local dancers.
Our History
The Indiana Bellydance Collective was formed in 1978 as the Indiana State Association of Middle Eastern Teachers and Dancers (ISAMETD). The collective is completely ran by volunteer efforts of its members and officers.
Membership is open to anyone, and we welcome enthusiasts of all styles of belly dance and associated music! Click here to join or to renew your current membership.
