Belly Dancers Under the Desert Moon
Flowing costumes, tribal music and the celebration of female sensuality and emotion make up the Under the Desert Moon annual belly dance performance in Washington, DC.
The show highlights traditional eastern and experimental belly dance styles, by over 150 dancers, most from Sahara Dance, Washington, DC’s premiere belly dance school. About a dozen of of the school’s various dance troupes, each with their own unique style, will be performing. Some are professions, others, students ranging from beginners to advanced. Also joining are the always entertaining Calmes Triplets.
For some history of belly dance, check out my post about last year’s show,which was a lot of fun, and highlighted some of Washington, DC’s best belly dancers.
This year’s show falls this weekend, over Mother’s Day, so tickets to a performance makes for a unique event to surprise mom with. Plus, after the show, she might also love receiving a gift of belly dance classes from Sahara Dance.
