CU Bellydance first began shimmying five years ago when co-founder Sara started to offer dance lessons to students every Friday night. Soon a small but dedicated group developed, performing at campus events and parties.
Under the leadership of co-founder Faith, CU Bellydance gained official University recognition in Spring 2008. Since then, they have become known across campus as well as in the NYC community. They perform original choreographies in a variety of styles, including Egyptian, Turkish, American Cabaret, Tribal, and other fusion styles.
CU Bellydance is now the proud host of the first annual intercollegiate bellydance event, the Middle Eastern Dance Conference, held every November.
