March 17th-19th 2023 was the 13th annual Art of the Belly festival at the Carousel hotel in Ocean City Maryland.

This was my first belly dance festival/conference. There were workshop intensives for participants from top belly dancers in the nation.
There were amazing vendors, selling beautiful costumes, jewelry, and other amazing things. I sold prints of my art and did intuitive henna! It was such a beautiful weekend.












Healing Power of Belly Dancing
I was able to attend a few performances and it was such a heart opening experience. To see women dancing freely, alone or together, was so empowering! I learned about a new book called Grandmother’s Secrets: The Ancient Rituals and Healing Power of Belly Dancing. I am excited about reading this amazing book to look deeper into the healing power of this dance.
