We are exceptionally delighted to announce that September 9-12, 2010, the Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive & Festival will take place in our new home, the historic FLAMINGO Hotel & Casino!

It's 4 stellar days of workshops, shopping, festival dancing, cocktail parties, Elvis Impersonators, Pro-shows...all in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip!!

Bugsy Siegel's desert dream, The Flamingo, has anchored the Las Vegas Strip since they started rolling dice in 1946. This self-contained casino and resort offers everything an adventurous belly dancer could want--delicious restaurants, an amazing pool, and ample space for our classes & shopping.

Set on the famous four corners of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, this hotel combines heart-pounding Las Vegas excitement with hospitality and service that's second to none. We couldn't be happier with our new home!

Additionally, we have a new group of magnificent artists who will be tantalizing us with their performances and teaching us their secrets. We are pleased to present the 2010 Headliners:

  • Drum Roll Please...

    Tue, December 8, 2009 - 5:39 PM
    The interplay between a drummer and a dancer has long been one of the most
    motivating and inspirational aspects of my own dance journey. For a long time,
    I have wanted to see more live music in the Las Vegas Belly Dance community as
    well as the Las Vegas Intensive.

    With that "song" in my heart, I am very excited to announce the addition of a
    middle-eastern drum track at the 2010 Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive this year.

    Headlining this new addition to our event is the world-renowned percussionist,
    ARMANDO "UNCLE" MAFUFO.

    Armando Mafufo is a drummer to the core. He has dedicated more than 30 years to
    performing the music of the Mediterranean and North African peoples. He has
    toured the United States, Mexico, Canada and Japan, produced five celebrated
    albums of his own music, and instructional DVDs and CDs on the playing of Arabic
    percussion instruments.

    He is very excited about attending the event and contributing to the vision of
    having more drummers here in Las Vegas and we are thrilled to have him involved
    (aren't we Paul?).

    On a related note, the 2010 schedule really is near completion, but we are
    working on finishing the topics for the new drum track. If you have any
    specific requests...speak up. We are happy to hear your thoughts.

    I expect that those who are currently registered for full packages will be able
    to choose your classes before the end of the month, and that we will open full
    registration on January 1st. Our package prices will be increasing at that
    time, so this is the best time to lock in the lowest rates. Payment plans, as
    always, are available. I am also happy to create gift certificates for Holiday
    Gift ideas...

    Happy Dancing AND Drumming!!
