Cabaret Beledy Belly Dance Show

In 2007 Café Beledy became Cabaret Beledy and was held at the beautiful Gotta Dance Studio Theater in Granada Hills. Sadly, in 2011, the studio had to relocate and Cabaret Beledy is currently looking for a new home.

Over the years our Belly Dance Variety Shows have had outstanding performers and exciting live music. Our programs have included fantastic dance artists such as Amara, Anja, Kamaal, Catharae, Jorjana, and of course Anaheed and members of Perfumes of Araby.

Cabaret Beledy will continue to feature local dance teachers and students performing to "live" or taped music of their choice. In the future, do join us for a variety-packed evening in a wonderful new theatrical setting! Please watch here for the latest developments.

The History of Café Beledy...

Next Date: TBA
Perforance program for the next show is under development. We will continue to have great live music by Var Daghdevirian, Maurice Saba and Rico Orrell.
