Halloween Belly Dance Video

The Sultry Sirens, Azizi and Eden Nadirah, performed at a private Halloween party last weekend in South Dakota. They danced to “The Hearse Song” and made costumes that look like worms and painted their faces like skulls. The crowd really enjoyed it! Not only are belly dancers fun for cultural events, but they are great for private parties and events.

2012 Riverssance Highlight Video

 

These are the video clips from the Celestial Sisters' performances at Riverssance this year. The movie has the highlights of all their shows, and it demonstrates their ability to improvise as a group, choreograph, dance as soloists, use a veil, play finger cymbals, dance to live drumming, and dance with swords!

3-D Renaissance Pictures

Jim Frost took a lot of great 3-D photographs at Riverssance. If you have red-cyan glasses, visit his Flickr album to see his photography. He took a lot of nice (and some funny) pictures of the belly dancers at Sioux City’s annual Renaissance faire.

Karnak with 2 Swords

 

Karnak performed at Riverssance October 6 and 7, 2012. It was bitterly cold and windy, but Karnak managed to belly dance with two swords! She improvised the dance to drums played by the musicians behind her. (This video really shows that belly dance is a family-friendly art form too! The kids were the most excited audience members!)

The Celestial Sisters had a great time at Riverssance last weekend, despite the cold weather! It was freezing, but dancing kept them warm. They danced at Fatimah’s tent as guests of the Diamond Dust Dancers.
