Did they ask you what they could expect or anything?
The last thing I would expect at such a convention is a serious informative lecture about the history of bellydance.
Not saying non of the visitors would find it interesting, but I don't understand why they asked you and what bellydance has to with scifi/fantasy.

Dear Moon,
I am not a Sci-fi regular and do not know the reason that they want such a lecture. From my end,I will take any reasonable opportunity to educate the public about belly dance and this is one of them.
Belly dance seems to have long been a staple in Sci-fi and Fantasy, as can be witnessed by Tonia's appearance on Star Trek in the 60s and by my own experience of being hired to perform at Sci-fi events in the 70s.
Regards,
A'isha
