Ultimate Belly Dance Artist, 2010

Introducing a new and unique competitive experience for the discriminating dancer. This contest is not for the faint of heart! You will be expected to excel in a wide range of styles, dress to impress no matter what style of belly dance is thrown at you, learn new choreography and perform it live on a professional stage, possibly perform with props or improv to live music, and do it all while expressing your charm, charisma, and talent. Are you up to the task?

Auditions for this contest will take place in Las Vegas at the Flamingo Hotel & Casino on Thursday September 9, 2010. There is a $25 audition fee that goes to cover the expense of the audition.

12 lucky finalists will be chosen to compete in the contest (which starts bright and early on Friday morning!!). These 12 competitors will need to secure their spot in the competition by paying the $50 entry fee and attending the choreography session at 7am (yes, we said 7am).

The 12 competitors will then perform the new choreography on stage in the Friday night show "A Night in the City of Riches." There will be a panel of celebrity judges and an audience vote to determine the 6 contestants who will proceed to the Saturday portion of the contest.

These 6 contestants will rise and shine bright and early on Saturday to learn a new and different choreography (in a completely different style) and will perform again on Saturday night in the "Viva RAKS Vegas" show. Again, there will be a panel of celebrity judges and an audience vote that will determine the final winner who will be titled the "Ultimate Belly Dance Artist, 2010". The winner will receive $500 cash as a prize and will solo at the Sunday Night Cocktail Party.

--Marjhani BellaMorte; Arcata, CA "Drilling daily will help technique and confidence improve the quickest. Remember to practice a relaxed face as well as the rest, this will keep you from making funny faces when performing. Drills don't have to be long or complicated, 10 minutes of basics a day can rapidly improve the dance as a whole." ...
