Wind, Sand & Desert Feet - Small Planet Dancers' Middle Eastern, or belly dance, troupe will take you on a journey to the exotic world of belly dance. Through Jo Sarnelli's original choreographies, we will trace its history from the Gypsies of Eastern Europe, to the tribal dances of South Africa and from the Bollywood and classical styles of India to the fusion of flamenco and middle eastern influences that define Morocco.
