JOIN ISAMETD! The Indiana State Association of Middle Eastern Teachers and Dancers, Inc. (ISAMETD) is a not-for-profit organization incorporated in September, 1978. ISAMETD's purpose is to promote the dance and educate the public about the artistic and cultural merit of middle eastern dancing. To this end, ISAMETD participates in events such as the International Festival (Indianapolis), the Penrod Art Fair (Indianapolis) and the Lotus Festival of World Music (Bloomington). In addition, ISAMETD sponsors dance seminars and concerts to give the public an opportunity to study with some of the most outstanding middle eastern dance instructors in the country.
As a member, you are entitled to participate with ISAMETD at festivals and art fairs, other charity events, dance seminars, and informal dance parties hosted by ISAMETD. We also host a costuming workshop in January which is free for members. Any member can run for elected office and help guide the direction of the organization during their term in office.
A bi-monthly newsletter is mailed to all members, reporting on current activities and upcoming events. Our bi-monthly meetings are scheduled the first Monday of February, April, June, August, October, and December. These meetings are hosted by a member or held at area restaurants. On non-meeting months, we sometimes sponsor social events such as the costuming workshop, henna parties, or visits to ethnic shopping areas.
We hope you will join ISAMETD to meet new friends, exchange ideas, share dance experiences, and just have an enjoyable time with others who share your love of middle-eastern dance!
