~ About SF/BA MECDA
SF/BA MECDA is a non-profit 501c3 organization devoted to Middle Eastern belly dance dance. Events like this would would not be possible without the generous dedication and support of our vendors, dancers and volunteers. We produce events, both large and small to benefit our diverse community of dancers, instructors, musicians, fans, friends and family. We also support the abolition of domestic violence, and to this end, we support Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence.
