After a long winter break including rest, play, preperations, sewing, married life and a litter of puppies, I am packing my cases once again ready to leave the Shire and head to the USA.

Still sewing like crazy, all new costumes for the new show, I cant wait to get back on the road with the girls, here is the tour info:

BDSS Winter/Spring 2009 Tour

"The Art of Bellydance" – the exhilaratingly vibrant new show will debut when the troupe deploys on a very special 2009 U.S. tour, launching in San Bernardino, CA on February 6 and hitting 34 cities before wrapping up in Detroit in late March. Two additional performances are scheduled for Vancouver in May.

The Bellydance Superstars have been at the forefront of the dramatic worldwide growth in prestige and popularity of the art of Bellydance itself, taking this once largely solo dance and ancient art of Middle Eastern culture into the 21st Century mainstream as a major theatrical dance extravaganza appealing to a wide spectrum of dance enthusiasts.

Featuring bold new choreography, exquisite costumes and new production elements, “The Art of Bellydance” builds on the troupe's renowned reputation in highlighting a variety of bellydance styles and unique fusions painting bellydance with a broad palette in a way the world's major stages have never played host to before.
