Forms from all participants and a CD with your music must be received by October 15, 2008, NO EXCEPTIONS, or you will be dropped from the performance schedule. In the event that all performance slots are filled, you will be waitlisted in the order in which your request was received. If any performance slots remain open prior to the event, you may be asked to perform twice.

November Noir is an event that promotes the use of dramatic, expressive and artistic belly dance. We do certainly appreciate the art of traditional belly dance, however this event was created to showcase modern and emerging belly dance and how it can be interpreted. With this is mind, please be respectful and stay within the parameters of nouveau noir, experimental, gothic, dark tribal, industrial, gypsy, fantasy, glam noir, flamenco, zambra, etc. dance styles. Also, please note that certain props such as live animals, fire, or pets are not allowed in the Scottish Rite Library and Museum.

If you are performing in the Gala, you do not need to purchase a ticket.

We ask that all performers check-in at the front table at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the show. A volunteer will direct you to the dressing area and confirm your performance time. Admission is free to all performers that are contracted to perform.

Dressing Rooms

There will be a dressing area for performers only. No visitors will be allowed in the dressing room. Please be respectful of other dancers and follow this request as we would like for everyone to be comfortable and have plenty of space. We also ask that you have a robe or cover-up on when not performing during the evening performances.

All music must be sent on a CD by October 15, 2008. Please also have a back up available with you the day of the performance. Please make sure music stays within your allotted time frame, including exit and entrance time. Any music submitted that passes the permitted time will be stopped accordingly for performance.
