We have lot’s of fun events quickly approaching, so we added them to our events calendar. We are hard at work creating new dances for this spring season, which we’ll be debuting at DCTribal Cafe April 25!  We’re also excited to be able to bring the whole troupe to Spring Caravan this year, and will be performing on Sat. May 1 at 9pm.  Those are just 2 of the upcoming shows, stay tuned for more performance details and perhaps another exciting announcement *gasp!*

Photos show our two sets – our pieces were set in Victorian London, and one is a glimpse into the mind of Jack the Ripper.

Kallisti Tribal’s Third Annual Inappropriate Hafla

Saturday, September 12, 2009
1pm to 5pm
131 Brightside Ave, Pikesville, MD 21208.

This is the event where belly dancers can dance the dances that are not appropriate elsewhere!  Anything goes…inappropriate costumes to music to movements…we love this event!  (Go to Kallisti Tribal to sign up to dance)

This is an outdoor event, so plan accordingly. Come a bit early to snag a space with some shade (bring your own chairs/blankets/whatever you need to sit and be comfy). Parasols, sun block, and bug spray recommended. Everyone is encouraged to being food/drinks to share, or at least to take care of yourself.  NO KIDS ALLOWED!!!!
