About WildCard

WildCard BellyDance is a professional troupe of dancers based in Sonoma County, California. Since 2008, WildCard has been teaching and performing group improvisational dance inspired by dances from the MENAHT (Middle East, North Africa, Hellenic, and Turkish) region, popularly referred to as “belly dance.” WildCard teaches and performs in both the bay area and around the world.

Rooted in FCBD®, our style holds true to the foundations of synchronized group improvisation. Building on this foundation, WildCard BellyDance has developed their own unique repertoire of movements, along with visual and verbal cues, to achieve graceful synchronicity within the group.
