BELLYDANCE SUPERSTARS

RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT
& BOULEVARD CASINO
PRESENT BELLYDANCE SUPERSTARS FRIDAY, MAY 22 – RIVER ROCK SHOW THEATRE
SATURDAY, MAY 23 – RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE

Comprised of North America’s best known and most sought after bellydancers, the Bellydance Superstars is the only professional dance company of its kind on tour having performed in more than fifteen countries. The Bellydance Superstars exhibit an intoxicating spectacle with enthralling performances and mesmerizing choreography and have garnered international acclaim from critics, instructors, dancers and fans alike as they bring this ancient art form to mainstream audiences.

From their beginnings as part of the 45-city Lollapalooza rock tour in 2003 performing to over a half-million people and called a “must-see” by Rolling Stone to their stint at the famed Folies Bergere in Paris in 2005, the Bellydance Superstars have set a new standard for bellydance and have proven its wide appeal to a Western audience. The troupe is dedicated to celebrating the art form of bellydance and elevating it to its rightful place among dance genres. Countless television appearances and impressive press coverage have added huge impetus to an already-growing interest in this most feminine and sensual dance art that celebrates all women.

The Bellydance Superstars are the brainchild of music business mogul, Miles Copeland … a legendary impresario who has served as manager, agent and record label chief for several acts including The Police, The Sex Pistols, REM, The Moody Blues and Blondie. Back by popular demand, the Bellydance Superstars will be performing at the River Rock Casino Resort and at the Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre in May, 2009.
