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!

Presented with support from the Regional Arts Commission.
