Ghazaal Beledi

We are hoping to connect with clients hosting fun and exciting events such as weddings, showers, and all kinds of parties! We love to connect with our audience and are prepared to provide services such as music and dance shows, fire performance, choreography, and workshops. We are part of a group that includes a roster of talented musicians and dancers. We can put together large, exciting music and dance shows, as well as small dance shows with just a couple of dancers for a smaller venue.
Workshops are also a specialty of ours! Looking for an awesome birthday or bachelorette party idea? We can come and teach and dance WITH you and your guests. Want to perform a special dance at your wedding or special day? We can write one to a song you choose, or we can pick for you, teach you the dance and away you go to wow your guests!
We love to collaborate with our clients and look forward to hearing all about your event and your ideas!

Ghazaal Beledi (Arabic for "Dancing Gazelle") is a world fusion and tribal belly dance troupe based in Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona. They formed in 2008 to perform at the 2009 Arizona Renaissance Festival in a world music and dance variety show and found that they didn't want to stop there! Since then, they have performed every spring as Arizona Renaissance Festival belly dancers, and they have continued to create and perform together throughout the year for everything from pubs and nightclubs to festivals and street fairs.

The music is inspired by both modern and traditional cultural pieces as this plays a very significant role in the choreography and improvisation of the dance pieces. The dancers are trained in a number of styles including Irish, English, Scottish, West African, Bhangra, Rajasthani, Bollywood, Arabic, Cabaret, Egyptian, Tribal, Flamenco, Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Breakdance, as well as prop and fire art. They draw from all of these influences in their world fusion style as well as adding in some theatrics and humor for good measure.

Ghazaal Beledi has been involved in many grass roots artist organizations such as RAW Artists Network Phoenix, RAW Artists Network Tucson, and REIGN Artists Network Arizona. We are dedicated to participating with local underground artists and together expressing our talents to the community and nationwide. You can see us supporting these local venues as well: Club Red, Mijana Grill, Club Palazzo, and Crescent Ballroom.

Ghazaal Beledi World Music & Dance would love to perform at your event, festival, club or party.

Depending on what you are looking for, our group has varying technical needs. Our minimum stage size is 8'x6', but that only supports a very minimum amount of dancers. Reach out to us to let us know what you have in mind and we can talk about what we can provide and what you would need to have on hand for us.
