...& now for the formal stuff...Terms and Conditions

  • Please kindly note that we wereoversubscribed for our launch event and we therefore cannot guarantee that your application will be successful for this show
  • We're a family-friendly bunch and we know your bellydance routines & costumes will be too ;)
  • By accepting to perform you'll organise your advance performer ticket purchase on-line (£8 early bird, £10 from 1 March until 15 April when online ticket sales close) at We cannot guarantee on-the-door ticket availability so please ensure you buy your ticket in advance to secure your performance slot

  • Please remember that you'll be dancing in a reserved function area of a restaurant and pub. Just like a pro, please be aware staff could be serving in your performance area; you'll be dancing in close proximity to your audience so please take care when dancing with props and watch out for spills, broken glass etc. We strongly recommend dancers don sensible footwear. It's all part of the restaurant dancing fun!
  • HINT! ;) The dancers enjoying the best audience response are those who recognise the need to use the WHOLE dance floor space which includes both the central larger dance area and around tables. Embrace the ethos of Casbah Cabaret! In restaurants and other live settings, we bellydancers understand the need to showcase our performance to every member of the audience, regardless of where they are sitting. Even if they're in a corner behind a pillar! Our most successful Casbah Cabaret performers adapt their dancing, choreography and group formations (sometimes on the spot!) to keep the audience engaged and give them a great view. In applying for Casbah Cabaret, we know you want to be fabulous too and are up for the challenge of restaurant-style performance, so go on and showcase your talents to everyone!
  • By agreeing to participate in Casbah Cabaret, you confirm you are safe, fit and well to dance and are responsible for your own welfare whilst dancing at all times. You will ensure you are warmed-up and cooled down before and after performing. We, the event organisers, will do our utmost to ensure the safety of your environment. The organisers will not accept any liability for accidents or injury incurred through participation in Casbah Cabaret
  • A small changing area will be available, but individuals are solely responsible for their valuables at all times
  • Please ensure your children (should they join in the fun) are supervised at all times
  • We'd like to say a massive thank you to you for reaching out and being part of the Casbah Cabaret community. Our ethos is to champion student and troupe performers. We hope that if you also bellydance professionally and/or are a troupe leader, you will share your publicity exclusively on our publicity desk. Please kindly avoid putting your PR materials anywhere else in the restaurant and facilities.
