Corvallis Belly Dance
Performance Guild
Background
The CBDPG of Corvallis is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide a venue to foster performance, education, and enjoyment of Middle Eastern Dance and music here in Corvallis, Oregon. The organization was founded in 1989, and now has a membership of performers, musicians, students, and supporters of Middle Eastern music and dance.
We maintain a membership in the Corvallis Arts Council, and try to bring Middle Eastern dance and music into the public eye. The guild is open to any who share our vision of trying to educate and entertain with Middle Eastern dance, music, and culture. We have performers, musicians, artists, former dancers, and people who are "just fans" on our membership list.
CBDPG is organized and run by volunteers. Our board of directors is comprised of a group of elected officers. Board positions are open for re-election each year. The board is responsible for planning guild events for the year. The board also upholds standards of professional performance and costuming requirements for our weekly events.
CBDPG is a great organization for anyone who wants to get involved in Middle Eastern dance in Corvallis, or anywhere around the state of Oregon. We publish a newsletter that tells of area events, we sponsor workshops and shows with local and out-of-town performers, we do a yearly costume swap meet, we have a rental library of performance and instructional videotapes, we also have a list of teachers in the areas, and we offer discounts to shows and workshops to our members.
Our group sponsors a weekly show for CBDPG performers, on every Wednesday of each month, at The Old World Deli information on joining our guild, interested parties can write to CBDPG, PO Box 1926, Corvallis, OR 97339. Membership is just $10 per year.
