Belly Dancer of the Year Gala Show at Radiance


Live World Music & Belly Dance Show

Radiance is proud to host the Belly Dancer of the Year Gala Show for the second year in a row. We invite you to join us for a rare opportunity to experience and celebrate this historic and beautiful form of dance!

You'll enjoy eight performances by winners of the 41st Annual Belly Dancer of the Year Competition, as well as judges and past winners, in an intimate family-friendly setting designed to bring the dancers, the musicians, and the audience together for rich connection. Pangia, a live World and Middle Eastern style band, will accompany the dancers. If you'd like to make a night of it, you can opt in for an incredible organic Turkish dinner during the show.

After the professional performances, you'll have the opportunity to try a a few moves of your own as we bring in the electronic tribal stylings of DJ Amar Solunamar, who most recently thrilled the crowds at San Francisco's How Weird Festival. It's a night not to be missed!

We hope you will consider watching some of the competition and then join us on Sunday night at the gala to celebrate these talented performers!
