This event is designed to allow teachers and performers from the North West to come together every two months with a view to raising the profile of Arab/Belly Dance in the North West. At present there are no facilities for regular performance other than haflas. This event is open to dancers of all standards, to help improve their public performance skills and to enhance personal growth within the dance.

Teachers can put themselves forward as a guest teacher at these events in order to expand the dance and learning horizons of students all over the North West. Teachers will be paid a set fee for an hour and a half workshop. This workshop can be any format and will be a one off by this teacher therefore allowing everyone to get a fair chance at providing a workshop facility. We feel there is a lot of talent in the North West that is not being shared by everyone. We also hope that we can use this opportunity as an ideas exchange to assist teachers in structuring their own classes, i.e. by fresh input of ideas and universal group choreography.

At each event teachers will be given free entry providing they have promoted Hip Kandi at their classes and bring at least five students with them, otherwise the £!0 entry fee will be applicable. Please ensure that students, when booking this event, write the name of their teacher on the booking form. The guest teacher will be evaluated by students at the end of their workshop and the feedback forms forwarded on before the next Hip Kandi. This will be acceptable in the form of constructive criticism only.

Bookings must be received by no later than the Friday before this event. The cost for students is £10 and will include the workshop with guest teacher for one and a half hours, performance platform, group warm up and choreography followed by general dancing and socialising for the last hour. There are bar facilities for drinks etc, but we are not providing any food for this event. This event is open to family and friends,, but no children under the age of 14 as our insurance does not cover a lesser age group. Family and friends who are non dancers and who will not be participating in the workshops and group choreographies will only be charged £5.


This is your opportunity to shine. Look forward to seeing you very soon
