Louisiana Belly Dance Association is a Non-Profit Organization with a membership based platform that was created to promote and support Louisiana Belly Dancers. LABDA Strives to inspire Louisiana’s community of belly dance to share who they are with their fellow dancers and beyond while serving, and educating through their local communities in whichever way possible. LABDA provides a supportive atmosphere for persons with interest in all forms of belly dance while performing, and sharing knowledge of belly dance as an art form.

"I had the pleasure of being hosted by LABDA for a July workshop and hafla and it was a singularly amazing experience. Every member of the LABDA team was attentive to my needs and incredibly supportive. Their passion for being a support system for Louisiana bellydance is inspiring! The workshop locale was a lovely studio (they even had snacks for a snack break!) and their team handled everything- I just showed up and taught. 

It was a fantastic weekend experience that I would repeat in a heartbeat. If you have the opportunity to either teach for or attend an event hosted by LABDA, PLEASE DO! In my almost 20 years of belly dancing, I've rarely come across a team so welcoming and warm- that treats you like family. 10/10 would recommend"
