Belly dancing and circus come together

Event date:  May 27, 2014 Luciterra Fusion Belly Dance (http://www.luciterradance.com/) and host Chris Murdoch (http://www.bothsidescircus.blogspot.ca/) perform the last Tuesday of every month at Guilt &; Co. (http://www.guiltandcompany.com/) , Vancouver. It was our first time going, so we made sure to get there early.  Even still, there were reserved tables and we were lucky to get one in second row from the stage and in the center. The place was almost full when the show started.  Emcee Chris is a circus performer with tons of energy and gratitude.  By a show of hands, most of the audience had been here before, and for the few walk ins, they were in for a treat.  They have been doing this for 40+ months!  Luciterra is a group of belly dancers, each one doing a solo act in her wonderful glitzy costume.   One after the other, we saw a great display of grace, hip swinging and smiles.   There was a special guest tonight, Karen Flamenco (http://karenflamenco.com).  Her foot stomping performance was accompanied by her guitarist and percussionist. In between performances, Chris would dazzle us with his circus skills and promoted the MadSkillz Event at the end of June (http://madskillzvancouver.com/) to showcase ground level circus acts like juggling. Sitting in a packed bar, you'd never think it was a Tuesday night. Vancouver is full of fun things to do, and I'm glad I caught this show.
