Read My Hips
Saturday, July 8th at 6:00pm on the Main Stage
Did you know Chicago had it’s own American Tribal Bellydance Fusion troupe? If no, be sure to check out their spectacular costumes and unique style of dance at Folk & Roots on Saturday afternoon in the park. If yes, then you know that a performance by Read My Hips includes stylistic elements borrowed and adapted from Bharata Natyam, the folkloric dances of the Middle East, Kathak, Flamenco, Hip Hop, and American modern dances.
The women of Read My Hips sum it up nicely: “The exotic textures of Middle Eastern folk and contemporary ethno-fusion club music. The colorful, eclectic costumes designed to flatter the female form and intriguingly accentuate the movements and mood of the dance … All elements of our stage show combine to make a striking, contemporary visual statement that is unique to our Tribal Fusion style.” |
