Mark your calendar! This show is returning by popular demand — bigger, better, and in a larger theater (thanks to a grant from the Regional Arts Commission.)
This spellbinding show blends documentary with dance performances to unveil the deep connections between our Midwestern city and a beautiful Middle Eastern dance.
Did you know:
• A belly dancer at the 1904 World’s Fair balanced a chair in her teeth while shimmying?
• A St. Louis woman opened a school for “Salome Dancers” in 1908?
• In the 1970s, bellydance was so popular in St. Louis that you could see a show at Famous Barr
If you love quirky history, dance, or the City of St. Louis, this show is for YOU!
Tickets will be available soon.
