Adelaide Belly Dance Community
Adelaide is full of things to see and do for anyone interested in belly dance and/or Arabic culture. You can treat yourself to a dinner at an Arabic restaurant, go shopping for Moroccan, Turkish or Palestinian crafts, get your hands painted with henna or listen to concerts and see belly dance live.
