Maelstrom

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Check out our *updated* website at Maelstrom Dance .
Maelstrom was created in July of 2006 by Nadima and Bastet. We met bellydancing together in a local troupe, but eventually felt the need to experiment within the dance form. So we combined our love of industrial music and creative costuming and started choreographing. The end result was much better than we'd expected and out of that was born the creative chaos we exist in now.
We are currently working on several new choreographies. Check our website for more information about upcoming events.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


-Local bellydance enthusiasts
-Anyone who wants to book us for an event :)
-Local bands and DJ's who want to collaborate
-Other experimental bellydancers
-Chaotic people
-You!
