For those of you who happen to be in NYC on Nov.1 and 2, please join us for our Venus Uprising semi-annual event. This fall our fantasy bellydance concert theme is Tarot - every dance portrays archetypal images based on Tarot cards. It's going to be a beautiful and unique show, with a spectacular array of solos and group numbers. All pieces are very different: We are not a dance company, each number is conceived and choreographed by the artists who present it, so the variety of styles and creative thinking is incredible.

We'll have large-scale theatrical compositions, like "Wheel of Fortune" (the story of Cleopatra) and "Lust" by Sarah Skinner, Kazja and The Sisters of Salome; Tribal / Tribal fusion numbers by Sarah Locke's "Alchemy Dance Theater", Fayzah and her group "Aurea Dancers," Irina, Tribal Fusion / Gothic "BellyCraft," Alicia and Heather from Miami FL.

It'll be a lot of fun, plus a wine reception after our Saturday's show.

Both shows start at 8, for
