Belly Dance

If you are a local in Corvallis one of the neat, free things to do is to head on down to Old World Deli each Wednesday night from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Various belly dancers from the Corvallis Belly Dance Performance Guild perform for free. They do have a tip jar so contribute if you can to keep the art going. The tips are used to fund workshops and professional guest performers.

This shindig is the longest running regular belly dance event in the USA. They have been doing it every Wednesday night for the past 17 years.

There is a mixture of styles amongst the performers and varying levels of expertise but it is enjoyed by all in its entirety. There is quite a sense of community between the people that attend there and is always a fun experience. It is fun to sit down with strangers and strike up a conversation while listening to great ethnic music and watching such a wonderful style of dance.
