OUR MISSION STATEMENT

The Bay Area Belly Dance And Music Association is dedicated to the celebration of the arts of Middle Eastern dance. Our mission is to create spaces for dancers in our group to perform, share information, and explore our dance arts.

Current Committee

In 2023, the Babdama is composed of four members:

• Leyla Lanty
• Rawiyah
• Zemira – Alisha Westerfeld
• Davina – Dawn Devine

Our History

The Bay Area Belly Dance And Music Association (BABDAMA) used to be headed by the former officers of the now defunct SF/BA MECDA, Safiyah Bonnie Stensler – President, Leyla Lois White – Vice President, Rawiyah Peggy Hennessee – Treasurer, Sudeep Johnson – Secretary. We have since then changed our titles and changed personnel.

Although we are not a federally recognized 501-C-3 non-profit organization, we function in the same way by voluntarily donating our time and effort, and by annually donating to our charity of choice, “Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence,” a portion of net proceeds available after paying event costs
