Q. Does my act have to be appropriate for all ages?
A. We ask that you use your best judgement. Please keep in mind that there will likely be children in the audience. The shows are also advertised to the general public as a belly dance event. Please consider this when selecting your music and performance type.

-Costuming must adequately cover all private areas.
Q. Are there other restrictions or info on performances?
A. There can be no fire performing of any kind, per our venue's fire code.
Keep in mind that we are in a hotel ballroom and not a theater. There will be stage lighting for all shows. However, the lighting cannot be adjusted and there will not be blackouts between performances. There will be pipe and drape on both sides of the stage and a solid black backdrop with red Sari draped accents. There is no downstage curtain that can be opened and closed.
