So excited to be performing NEXT WEEKEND at Gilded Raqs, the fun two-day festival hosted by The Belly Dance Guild The Belly Dance Guild in San Jose (just up the street from Stacy’s house!).

See us on Saturday, September 12 in the Badia Auditorium in the San Jose Scottish Rite Center, in the 2-3pm time period (we think it will be around 2:43 but you always have to give show business some leeway!).

See you there!

Bring your partner to Gilded Raqs - and if they somehow tire of the amazing performances, shopping or learning opportunities, they can take a break in the Hospitality Suite (or "spouse house") hosted by Adira Dance and Costume. Light snacks and drinks are provided, or you can pick up food from Sam's Mediterranean Catering & Deli inside the event or bring your own food or drink. And the TVs can be tuned to whatever other entertainment you might like!

Bring your Sweetie to Gilded Raqs. They can watch the dancing and then check out Adira's Hospitality Suite and Partner Cave in the parking lot just outside of the Scottish Rite Center.
