 Belly Dancers
The
sacred art of Belly Dance for many years has been an
exciting form of entertainment for cultures world wide.
More recently, this ancient dance has entered the mainstream
here in the United States. This growth in popularity
is due in part to the exquisite style and unique body
movements of the dance. The gorgeous veil work
combined with up tempo shimmies, tight body pops and locks
and slow, smooth undulations have left our audiences stunned
and we have left our audiences stunned and we have been
consistently hearing that more and more people want to see
these types of performances. Elegant and exciting
shows are a pleasure to watch. Dancers are adorned
with ornate costuming and utilize various types of props
such as swords, wings, veils, snakes and fire. The
music is captivating from hypnotic and tantalizing to
dynamic to upbeat.
