About the Indiana Bellydance Collective

The Indiana Bellydance Collective is a group of belly dance performers, musicians, students, and teachers in Indiana and surrounding areas. We are a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charity that:

  • Organizes and promotes shows to display talents of our members
  • Creates and supervises classes to educate and train those interested in belly dance and related music
  • Organizes and promotes educational seminars to gain historical perspective of belly dance/Middle-Eastern, North African, Turkish, and Hellenic (MENATH) dance and music

Our History

The Indiana Bellydance Collective was formed in 1978 as the Indiana State Association of Middle Eastern Teachers and Dancers (ISAMETD). The collective is completely ran by volunteer efforts of its members and officers.

Membership is open to anyone, and we welcome enthusiasts of all styles of belly dance and associated music!  Click here to join or to renew your current membership.
