Q: Why are belly dancers so cool?
A:
They travel in hip circles.

~Popular belly dancer riddle.

Ammala once again shakes the Minnesota Fringe for five fabulous performances!

In an urban ethnofusion feast for the eyes and ears, Ammala twists up traditional Middle Eastern themes with jazz, modern dance, Latin dance, tango, comedy, theater and more. With exciting new choreography and funky rhythms, It's a fresh take on the art of "belly dance" that's sure to make you want to shake your groove thang and pound on the nearest hollow object!

The show includes all new original works, featuring Ammala dancers, the Ancient Sonic Libido Percussion Ensemble and guest artists.

Ammala's 2003 show was named among the top shows in the Minnesota Fringe, and was loved by audiences of all ages. Don't miss this energetic second installment in the Ammala "Beaded Fringe" series!
