This local extravaganza includes 3 full days of workshops, 3 full evenings of entertainment, and features the most talented local dancers and teachers as well as featured artists from across the country.
Friday features a full day of workshops with the world-renowned Ava Fleming (www.avafleming.com), Kami Lidde (www.kamiliddle.com), and Karim Nagi (www.karimnagi.com).

Saturday night will be a Vegas-Style Gala starting with a cocktail party, shopping, merriment, and photo opportunities with "The King". The Saturday night show is a bit more rackous and will feature many of our top level visiting instructors and troupes including Karim Nagi of Turbo Tabla.
Sunday morning continues with additional level-specific classes and an additional 15 topics to choose from. Shopping is available from local and out-of-state vendors throughout the weeked and is open to the public free-of-charge.
Although this dance originates in the Middle East, it's popularity in the United States has caused a dance evolution resulting in tremendous diversity of styles and interpetations. The 2008 Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive strives to embrace this remarkable dance culture and to support the local Las Vegas belly dance community.
