Belly dancers draw songs and perform impromptu with live Arabic music of the Golden Age by House of Tarab! Expert judges provide live feedback. YOU, the audience, vote and decide the winners!

Club Hollywood offers a sophisticated theatrical setting combined with top quality dining. Between each segment the dance floor opens for guests to enjoy.

Contestants draw their song from a hat just before they perform

While traditional belly dance requires excellence with improvisation to music played by live musicians, modern audiences want to see a powerful and polished performance. Watch dancers strive on both fronts, owning their stage and audience while performing to a song they’ve just drawn from a hat. The expert judge panel consists of acclaimed teachers and belly dance industry leaders Saqra and Mish Mish, plus a casting manager of Teatro ZinZanni.

Participating dancers may enroll in either Pro or Rising Star categories. Winners from each of the three seasonal BELLY DANCE OFF events receive cash awards and compete for the annual grand championship in a final dance off at the end of the year. Registration details and more info can be requested by email.

BELLY DANCE OFF founder Suzanna is a Seattle based cultural performer, instructor, artistic entrepreneur and independent producer with a passion for live music with dance. She developed and launched BELLY DANCE OFF in 2010. 

“This event is a great opportunity for any dancers looking to get live feedback. I would say it is more like a master class than a contest.

"Of course the chance of doubling your money is good too.”

– Erik Brown, musician, recording artist, and manager of House of Tarab
