Schools & Multicultural Events
Take a multicultural journey through music and dance, focusing on the Middle East.
Aubergine highlights the origins of belly dance and the journey it has taken from its folkloric roots. Bright and lively, engaging the audience from the start, we demonstrate cultural dances, rhythms, and the instruments of the regions. We weave a story of how songs are interconnected by history and culture. Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, the Romani (Gypsy) people, and ballet all have a part to play in the history of belly dance. Part discourse, part dance show, part instrument petting zoo, Aubergine's performance delights the eyes and ears. Music from Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Israel and more create a colorful production that captures the audience’s hearts. Restaurants
Aubergine dancers can also perform at restaurants, as a one time event or as a weekly or monthly series. Customers will flock in to see this beautiful ethnic dance form! For recurring performances, the performance price is discounted to $100 for one dancer's set per night, and $160 for the same dancer to perform two sets. Single night parties are at the $250 rate.
