Welcome to the NEW Austin Bellydance Association Group, a group limited to ABA MEMBERS. Use it for announcements that missed the OPA!, and to:

Announce Events Anytime: Use any of 3 ways (see below) to announce your bellydance event. Online members will be notified immediately. Events posted should be open to the general public with at least 1 ABA member involved, either as sponsor, event planner, or performer. ABA Members-Only events may also be posted but MUST be clearly labeled as such in the title of the post.

Viewable by members only:
1. Post a message to the ABAmembers group.
2. Post an event to the ABAmembers Calendar.
Viewable by the public:
3. Email your event to webmaster@abda.org to be posted on the official ABA
website Calendar.

Ask a Question: Post your questions to ABA officers about ABA-related topics.

Community Discussion: Discuss bellydance-related topics with ABA members. No flaming, harsh language, accusatory comments or negative attitudes allowed! Positive discussion of bellydance-related topics ONLY!

Photo Gallery: Upload bellydance-related photos of yourself to the Photo Gallery. Make sure the photo is in good taste and okay to view by the public. By uploading a photo, you are giving your permission for ABA to possibly include the photo in the official Photo Gallery on the ABA website, which can be viewed by the public.

Calendar: The ABAmember Yahoo Calendar is NOT intended to replace the official ABA website Calendar (www.abda.org)which is viewable by the public or the Event & Performances pages of the OPA. It's a supplemental calendar available for internal ABA member usage (members can also post their personal performances).

Thank you for joining ABA! We look forward to dancing with you! The official ABA website is www.abda.org

Note: BTW,there is a long-standing group named "Austin Belly Dance Announce List," which includes people who are not ABA Members. This list is for our members only.
