Stacey Lizette & Bahaia's HOT Seminars

The Austin Belly Dance Convention was the vision and creation of Bahaia & HOT Seminars. With over 30 successful events since 1996, Bahaia has now "passed the torch" of ABDC to fellow Austin dancer, Stacey Lizette, so that the tradition of master level instruction and high quality personal service can continue. Bahaia will remain active in the belly dance community, supporting The Austin Belly Dance Convention as well as producing Cabaret Dance Camp, aka "CAMPARET", every year in October.
