Frequently Asked Questions:

Where is Waid's?
Click here for directions!   

When is the show?
The show is from 8:00-10:00pm on every last Thursday of every
month.  We will not have a show in the November/December since
the last Thursdays land on holidays; and we will be back in January!

Can I buy food and drink?
Waid's serves delicious Haitian cuisine with a full bar. The owner,
Waid, is a huge supporter of local artists, and we are thankful to have
this lovely venue.  Therefore, we ask that you support him by
purchasing at least a beverage, dinner, and/or appetizer.

What is the format of the show?  
Each unique show will feature 3-5 professional and semi-professional
dancers and musicians of many art forms, including Middle Eastern
dance, with an occasional student performer.  After the show, we will
be spinning some of the hottest Middle Eastern and world tunes that
will have you up and dancing!

What if I would like to perform?
The performance spots are filled by invitation.  However, we are
particularly looking for dancers of other art forms besides belly dance
and musicians!  If you would like consideration, you are most
welcome to contact us.  Please tell us a bit about yourself, including
your name, art form, # of years of experience, website address (if
applicable), and any other information that you think would be
helpful.  (Additionally, whenever there is a request, we offer one,
open-performance spot per show.  This is the first performance spot
of the show.  It is a non-paid performance spot, intended to provide
students, hobbyists, and others an opportunity to perform in front of a
live audience, for practice or just for fun.  Please let us know if you
are interested in participating in this way.)
