Dance Teaches Us to Care

During the Shahrzad Intensive in Miami, we will be hosting a fundraising initiative in support of Lebanon through a raffle.

As artists and organizers within the bellydance community, we recognize the deep cultural influence Lebanese musicians, dancers, and creatives have had in shaping this art form around the world. In light of the difficult times Lebanon continues to face, we felt called to create a space where dance and community can also become a gesture of support.

Part of the fundraising efforts will benefit Beit El Baraka, a Lebanese nonprofit organization that supports families in need through direct food assistance, essential living support, educational aid, and employment opportunities. You can learn more about Beit El Baraka and follow them on Instagram.

The other organization we will be supporting with this initiative is Mechref Ladies, a volunteer-led humanitarian initiative started by women committed to providing emergency relief, compassionate support, and dignity to families displaced and affected by the war in Lebanon. See their work online in the Instagram platform.

The raffle will take place during the workshops and the Shimmy Social. If you are out of town or unable to attend the event, you can still participate through our virtual raffle by simply purchasing a ticket for the raffle.

We will be raffelling:

One Year Membership at Shahrzad Studios
Belly Dance Merchandise and Goodies
Full Pass for the Love Affair Intensive next year
Valentina Giraldo Workshops hosted by Zizi of Orlando Belly Dancing
A Day Pass for O-Town Bellydance Intensive w/ Mercedes Nieto

Thank you for helping us turn dance into meaningful impact.

Raffle Ticket: $10
