DUM TAK: BELLY DANCING AS A CULTURAL HERITAGE

Belly Dance Craft Academy brings one of the world’s oldest and most misunderstood dance traditions back to its rightful place as a serious cultural art form. For Culture Night Belfast 2026, we are offering free drop-in taster sessions that explore belly dance not as entertainment but as living cultural heritage with roots across North Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean, carried across generations by women as a practice of embodiment, community and self-expression.
