Imagine yourself immersed in dance, surrounded by the beauty of the Texas Hill Country. You wake each morning on the green banks of the Guadalupe River. Your days are leisurely paced with morning and afternoon classes and plenty of time for hiking, swimming, shopping, practicing, and relaxing. Your nights are filled with music and dance, with henna, campfires, and with friendships old and new. This is Bahaia's HOT Dance Camp!
The first of its kind in Texas, Bahaia's HOT Dance Camp is held at Camp Rio Vista - a children's camp in the summer months. The accommodations are rustic, but not primitive. Lodging is provided in community cabins, all wired with electricity and screened-in to deter bugs. The attached baths have private stalls and hot water. Three hearty meals and snacks are provided by the catering staff in the indoor dining hall. Classes are held in a spacious, enclosed hall with a raised stage and a professional sound system. Shows and evening events are held on the river banks and in the dance hall.
The beauty of the Hill Country is breathtaking in April. This is the perfect, serene environment in which to expand your creative horizons and revitalize your passion for dance! Event is limited to 50 campers - don't delay! Pricing includes all classes, shows, activities, meals and lodging. Be sure to select your menu preference and your t-shirt size. Once registered, you will receive a thorough packet of information, including a map and driving directions, a packing list, menu and class details.

Add to my calendarBahaia's HOT Seminars are held in beautiful Central Texas. Over the past decade, Bahaia has consistently combined master level instruction with high quality personal service, providing students with the best Belly Dance events in Texas. Being an accomplished performer and a perpetual student, Bahaia is mindful of the needs and expectations of fellow Belly Dance enthusiasts. For over 10 years, dancers throughout Texas have been infused with inspiration and personally enriched by attending Bahaia's HOT Seminars.
A tradition continues...
The Austin Belly Dance Convention and Tribal Dance Camp were the vision and creation of Bahaia & HOT Seminars. With over 30 successful events since 1996, Bahaia has now "passed the torch" of these two outstanding events to Stacey Lizette and Michelle Manx, respectively, so that the tradition can continue. Bahaia will remain active in the belly dance community while focusing her energy on her own dancing, her students and a limited scope of events including Cabaret Dance Camp, aka "Camparet", held every October in the Texas Hill Country.
