Witness the transformative power of belly dance as each movement weaves together stories of unity, resilience, and joy. Join our JBelly Jewels in celebrating the gift of life, the beauty of community, the power of solidarity, and the richness of the cultural histories that birthed belly dance as we know it. Our dancers will embody the essence of celebration, radiating a palpable energy that fills the entire room. Each JBelly Jewel, short for Janelle’s Belly Dancing Jewels, is unique, beautiful, precious, and brilliant in their own way no matter their age, ethnicity, shape, or size. Janelle, creator of JBelly School of RAQ, believes that bellydance is just as diverse as its dancers with its true essence existing in its healing and body loving roots. Join us on February 16th to experience each Jewel shinning brightly and uniquely as the next. Follow them on social…
Get ready for an unforgettable bellydance performance of movement, magic, and pure emotion with JBelly’s 4th Annual Student–Professional Showcase: The Pulse of Passion — نبض الشغف (pronounced Nabd ish-shaghaf). This special encore viewing takes place on February 8th, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST, and features the performance from our February 7th live theater showcase, originally presented at New York Live Arts in New York City.
This year’s theme is inspired by the heartbeat of dance itself. In Levantine Arabic, Nabd means pulse — the rhythm that lives inside us — and ish-shaghaf means passion, the fire that drives what we love. Together, The Pulse of Passion reflects the emotional spark that transforms movement into meaning.
Prepare to be transported as our dancers share their stories through dynamic choreography, expressive artistry, and the radiant JBelly spirit. This powerful showcase brings together rising JBelly Jewel students, seasoned professionals, and a lineup of extraordinary guest artists — each offering their unique heartbeat to the stage. It is a celebration of community, culture, creativity, and support, all woven through the vibrant language of bellydance.
✨ Expect immersive performances, rich storytelling, and an atmosphere vibrating with energy and soul.
✨ Invite your friends, family, and dance tribe — this is an experience meant to be shared.
✨ Encore access is limited, so please don’t wait to purchase your ticket. Once the viewing window closes… it’s gone.
✨Join us for this special encore performance — a viewing experience that will inspire you, uplift you, and leave you feeling the pulse of your own passion long after the final bow.
Come feel the heartbeat. Come feel the magic.
