Welcome
RaqsVT2010
Welcome to the home of Hill and Veil! We are a student group at Virginia Tech dedicated to supporting Middle Eastern dance (belly dance) in our community through a laid back, fun atmosphere for both students and the general public alike with weekly practices open to everyone. Hill and Veil is also a member of CISO (the Council of International Student Organizations) at Virginia Tech.

Located in Blacksburg, Virginia, we are part of the Southwestern Virginia Middle Eastern Dance Association (SWVAMEDA), an informal group of teachers, students, and other dancers. If you are looking for a teacher, performer, or dance event in our area, please explore the SWVAMEDA web site for a wealth of local resources.

Get Involved

Beginner level classes: We concentrate on isolations and technique starting at the very basics for dancers with no prior experience. We start a new beginner class at the beginning of each semester. Classes build on each other, so it is not advised to begin lessons in the middle of the semester.
Lessons are free!
Classes are offered in War Memorial Gym, Multi-purpose room A from 8-9 pm every Wednesday.

Intermediate and Advanced level classes: Try-outs are held at the beginning of each semester to move up to the Intermediate or Advanced levels. At these levels, practices are based on practicing and choreographing for upcoming performances as opposed to a formal class structure. For more information, please contact one of the officers below and/or join our listserv.
