Welcome!

The Daughters of the New Moon dance troupe in Juneau, Alaska, is dedicated to bringing residents a glimpse of an intriguing and beautiful art form -- Middle Eastern dance, sometimes referred to as bellydance.

As a not-for-profit organization formed in 1983 we strive to educate and inspire Juneau community members by offering a variety of classes and performances for all ages. Our members are continually trying to improve and learn about this dance that has brought us together. Troupe leaders and members of the group have traveled extensively to attend dance workshops throughout the United States, as well as Canada, Turkey, and Egypt. We regularly bring in nationally and internationally recognized instructors and performers to share their knowledge with our community.
