You don't want to miss Troupe Shabaana performing this summer all around Cleveland. You can see them tonight as a matter of fact. They will be dancing at the Cinemark in Strongsville for the advance screening of the movie, Prince of Persia. They will be performing at 6:30pm so don't miss out! If you can't make it there, there's another chance this Saturday, May 29th 1:00pm performance time.

It would seem that the majority of classes at CED, along with our slogan being "Become a Goddess!," means that we are a women only facility. Not true. Yes, we do emphasize women's dance activities but that is just because they are commonly known as women's dance. In reality, dance is dance. You can do any kind of dance or physical activity you enjoy doing whether you are male or female. Men do

May 8th is World Belly Dance Day this year! This is the first year I have heard of it, so I will not be able to organize any official gathering. In the future, I would definitely like the studio to participate and dance for charity. The other goal of World Belly Dance Day is educate people about belly dance. It is not meant to be a seduction dance performed by women for men. However, there are quite a few people who portray it that way by costume choice and the way they move. The original intention was not that at all (of course the ladies at Cleveland Exotic Dance feel that if YOU as an empowered woman want to dance for your partner then you should do it any way you want.) World Belly Dance Day is all about belly dance awareness through "event(s) that would serve as a reminder that belly dance is an ART form, a cultural event, a sport, and a social and family entertainment." You can find out more about World Belly Dance Day on their Website or Facebook. Even though we aren't holding an event this year. Put on your hip scarves and do a little shimmying on Saturday.
