Description
The BDNIC is about personal development, learning, pushing yourself beyond your boundaries to be the best dancer you can be, with help and thought along the way. Yes, there will be prizes and a winner at the end, a chance to perform in front of a panel of professionals and stars of the belly dance world, as well as a live audience. But the most important thing about the Challenge is to take a journey of discovery, delving a little deeper into the choices you make, with the option to seek help and encouragement from mentors as you go along.
The BDNIC runs throughout the year, and during this time you will be set a series of challenges aimed at broadening your knowledge and improving all aspects of your dance. (See below for details about the challenges). After submitting these performances, you will receive detailed feedback each time from two separate judges to guide your ongoing journey.

After you have registered, please send us a recording of yourself performing a Majence or piece of oriental music of your own choice. It can be something you already have, providing it is footage from a recent performance, or it can be something you record especially, in your own space. It may contain a drum solo but please do not submit a drum solo by itself. You will not receive any feedback on this, but the Bellydance Now Team will use it as a reference as to where you are currently in your dance development.
You must also let us know which category you would like to enter when booking your place:
Category 1: Dancer, teacher, student or professional – final stage performing live at Fantasia
Category 2: Dancer, teacher, student or professional based abroad and who know they cannot travel to London for 20th February 2027.
Category 3: Amateur dancers with less experience wanting to develop their skills.
If you choose to drop out of the challenge at any point the registration fee is non refundable.
