"Roustabout" Bellydance Choreography by Calliope

I apologize for the quality of the video, it was low light and we lacked a tripod.

This choreography was created by Calliope as the Aegela Centers for Middle Easter Dance (www.aegela.com) piece for the 2009 Halloween Hafla at the Mystic Lotus belly dance center in Pinckney, Michigan. Each dancer kept in mind a specific circus performer when creating her costume for this fun and whimsical choreo. The theme was part macabre circus, part Muppet zombie, and part glam/sparkles carousel. :)

Dancers (L-R, Front row first):
Stephanie (tight rope walker)
Elif (Contortionist)
Calliope (Ringleader)
Voni (Girl that rides the pony & does tricks)
Laura (Trapeze artist)
Becca (Lion tamer)
Heidi (Lion)
Sandi (Fortune Teller)

The song is "Roustabout" from the Beats Antique album Collide. (Fabulous band and music)

Yah! :D So cool to see it with more than just one person. Wish you'd had a bigger space to perform it in though.
