Performance Opportunities
At The Hive dancers have a variety of performance opportunities. Performing in front of an audience is a skill that can be developed! Many dancers get nervous and anxious thinking about dancing in front of a group of strangers and still want to do it anyway. It’s helpful to have opportunities to practice performing with differing levels of risk.
Student Cafe:In this super casual, private setting at The Hive, students dance for each other. Only current bellydance students are invited to attend. It’s the perfect, low risk opportunity to get your feet wet in the performance arena. Student Cafes are free.
Hive Haflas: up the ante as we invite family and friends to join us at the studio. Students dress in costumes and we create a performance venue atmosphere for these exciting events. right in the studio. There is usually a $10 suggested donation.
Festivals/Clubs/Restuarants/Private Parties: for those dancers serious about their bellydance practice, we have many opportunities throughout the year to perform in a variety of settings. These performances are by invitation only. Dancers are chosen based on commitment level, consistent attendance, and participation in Student Cafes and Hive Haflas.
