Baubo Moon Room - Community Belly Dance

The Baubo Moon Room Community Belly Dance Group - is dedicated to promoting the art of Belly Dance in safe, appropriate settings for women and girls. Due to the massive interest locally in Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion and throughout Wales in Belly Dance for learning, events and festivals, we set up our group in 2007. Our group and collaborative approach has meant we have been able to; host a range of teachers including Hossam and Serena Ramzy, organise a womens space with art and dance workshops at The Celtic Blue Rock Festival, raised over �1,000 for Wales Air Ambulance in a marathon 12 hr sponsored belly dance, contributed funds to Just Because Charity and offered workshops in rural settings for women and girls. We are currently running a project in conjunction with Wales Womens Aid and ran a fundrasing show on Nov 14th at Small World Theatre, Cardigan. More workshops for Womens Aid are due for Summer 2010. The Baubo Moom Room us also running it's second Body & Soul Belly Dance show on July 24th with guest performances from Australian dancer Suzanne Oehlers and Guinevere. Please be in touch if you'd like to donate a raffle prize for our charity raffle.

The Baubo Moon Room is supported by local arts groups SPAN, Tidy Like Records, The Jam Shop, Live Lightly, Pembroke Dock Midsummer Festival and The Celtic Blue Rock. We aim to contiune to promote the personal,social and health benefits that Belly Dance brings, working across sectors with professionalism and ambition. So far we have been funded by Pembrokeshire Council, The Arts Council of Wales, The National Lottery, Pembrokeshire Tourism and received sponsorship and raffle prizes from Vincent Davies, Tesco, The Taj Mahal restaraunt and many others. Thankyou, we look forward to sharing the fun!

Exciting new projects will soon be listed as our group became a Community Interest Company (Social Enterprise) in June 2010! Watch this space!
