If you develop a case of the summertime blues, Erie, Pennsylvania is a place to go to find the cure. The unique venue found there is belly dancing, and there is a lot more to it these days than watching pretty girls bare a midriff.
A large belly dance gala was held on July 8, 2011 at the Bel-Aire Clarion Hotel off West Eighth Street, and attending was a pleasant surprise.
While this type of dancing might not be for everyone, keep an open mind. For the $20 ticket price, the audience was treated to a 13-act show covering the spectrum of belly dance, complete with acts like Moquette Volante, which included Hakan, a male dancer who helped his group bring Silk Road Folklore into the dance routines, along with music, swords, and the spoken word. For the evening’s highlight act; a San Francisco guest artist, Carolena Nericcio, of Fat Chance Belly Dance, (FCBD) commanded the stage for the grand finale. In addition was a hallway full of vendors, offering the crowd handmade jewelry, perfume items, dancewear, accessories, books, DVD's and CDs.
