About the Business School for Bellydancers Book:
The book is a general introduction and overview to the business side of bellydance. It covers topics ranging from performing and instruction to event sponsorship, vending, branding, marketing and professionalism. The book is set up workbook-style and is approximately 60 pages (plus a few bonus sections) so you can feel free to write in it, take notes, and USE it! The book is mainly available through the workshops, but is designed as a stand-alone tool for those dancers who cannot make a workshop but are interested in purchasing a copy when available.
