Hot Raqs

Hot Raqs - The Best in the West! A Belly Dance Competition and Festival with focus on providing opportunities for growth for every participant. The first annual HOT RAQS will take place on April 22-13 2017 in the quaint old town area of Clovis, CA (near Fresno in the Central Valley). The competition will set itself apart by placing emphasis on professional development and everyone will walk away with invaluable feed back from Season 1 winner of "Project Belly Dance", Andalee, via private critique and review of your performance. In addition to the Professional Cabaret soloist, Professional Tribal soloist, and Apprentice level soloist, there will be a competition for those drummers in our community! We hope there is something for everyone and will also offer open festival stage spots for those wanting to perform but no wanting to compete! We encourage participants to take some classes with the experienced and respected teachers offering workshops during the weekend and get some fresh new beautiful promo shots with Pixie!!! Reserve your spot today by messaging for more info. The venue is in the big beautiful Clovis Veterans Memorial District Ballroom with lots of space and next door to the a great hotel and lots of restaurants, shopping, Farmer's market, & other services. Old Town Clovis is a destination itself as a thriving and vibrant Western themed downtown area. www.visitclovis.com
