This year Arcana Dea Dance and New Horizons Belly Dance will be presenting Tribal Cafe, a full 2 hour belly dance showcase at Elevate the Arts. Both groups will be sharing new dance creations in a variety of styles from traditional to fusion belly dance. Come celebrate the beauty and strength of women dancing together at the transformed Legion Hall in Courtenay on Thursday June 6th. The evening will also feature live middle eastern inspired music by Jesse Gentes and Destanne Lundquist and dancing for all following the show. This is an all ages community event and there will be Turkish coffee, chai and treats for sale by the Gourmet Girls. Doors open at 6:30 and show will start at 7PM. This is a free event but donations for the Comox Valley Transition Society will be graciously accepted at the door. More info about this event coming soon. Hope to see you there!
