Belly dance in San Francisco?

Question

Anyone knows some good belly dance performances in San Francisco? I'll be in SF from October 31nd to November 4th morning. And I've heard that SF is a mecca of belly dance, what's the reason?

Answer 1

A number of arabic restaurants have performances on weekends,

http://www.pasharestaurant.com/ (REALLY pricey, but good)

There's a semi-famous group called Fat Chance Belly Dance:

There are more than this, you might try looking through a pink section of a sunday SF Chronicle to find more.
