Summer Contest 2020!

This years’s theme: My Home Studio

In 2018, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Bal Anat. In 2019, we celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Salimpour School. Now, in 2020, we celebrate the launch of the Suhaila Salimpour Institute of Online Education. And we want to hear about how you train from home!

How to Enter:

  • Create a video of 90 seconds or less showing us how you train at home and what distance learning through the Suhaila Salimpour Institute of Online Education means to you. It can be in one take or you can edit it. But it must be shorter than 1 minute and 30 seconds long.
  • Post your video on Facebook. If you have Instagram and/or YouTube accounts, post there, too!
  • Tag the Salimpour School of Belly Dance on Facebook.
  • Include your name and where you are from (of course!).
  • Use the hashtags #salimpourschool and #salimpourvirtual.
