What is The Belly Horror Show?
The Belly Horror Show is a Halloween themed, fusion belly dance show. Inspired by members of DCTribal and their love of belly dance and Halloween. It only made sense to dancer Belladonna to put them together and thus the Belly Horror show was born. Started in 2005 as a “for the community, by dancers” event, we have grown bigger and better each year and blossomed into a weekend full of Halloween belly dance events in 2009. It is a show who’s goal is to create a space for spooky or kooky belly dance performance and provide a top quality, original and fun show for our audience.

How do I apply to perform?
The Belly Horror Show is a jurored dance show. Proposals can be submitted to us each year via email in accordance with our guidelines. The call for proposals is announced in January of each year, and all entries are due by April 1st.  All submissions are judged by creativity, originality, technical ability, theatrical proficiency and diversity. Proposals are all taken into equal consideration and scored individually, the top scoring proposals are accepted in to the Friday night show. We attempt to include as many amazing performances as possible, and even added a second Thursday show to accommodate all of the creative ideas.

Can I be a Vendor?
Yes we provide vending opportunities for all sorts of belly dance, Gothic, jewelery, costuming, music and various other kinds of wares that may appeal to our spooky participants. If you are interested in vending at our show or workshops please contact Belladonna.
