MAY

World Belly Dance Day
Second Saturday in May
Our mission is to unite the initiative of dancers around the world to celebrate the wonderful art of belly dance as a holiday on the second Saturday in May every year. We got inspired by the idea of holding an event that would serve as a reminder that belly dance is an ART form, a cultural event, a sport, and a social and family entertainment. It is also a wonderful chance to help those in need.

JUNE/JULY

Brisbane Winter Warmup
The Brisbane Winter Warmup owes its existance to the efforts of Azziza (Maria Masselos).
For the first 13 years it ran from Saturday to Saturday with over 40 hours of workshops by the guest teacher (not including the warm-ups usually taken by AMED's Yasmini) plus lectures, videos, shows, shopping, and Safe Dance Practice lectures and hands on. From 2009 it reduced to four days of dance workshops (still with the bazaar, show and physio lectures).
