Performers: Aleili, Basma, Delilah, Elizabeth Dennis, Hasani, Rishi, Sabura, Saqra Eight luminous local women take the stage in “Hathor Unveiled: An Homage to Seattle’s Belly Dance Origins.” As an art and practice, belly dance is a catalyst for women to connect with their core physical power, stimulating confidence, health, and positivity in all aspects of life. Like Hathor, an ancient Egyptian goddess of music, dance, and foreign lands, who personified feminine love, motherhood, and joy, these women have dedicated their lives to sharing the many benefits of the dance, enriching Puget Sound culture and the wellness of countless other women. All over the age of 45, they continue to teach, innovate, and perform. This show celebrates the wonderful artistry and beauty of seasoned women in performance while paying tribute to the many influential lifelong belly dance artists in our area who laid the groundwork for today’s prolific belly dance scene. Although only eight are featured in the coming show, there are many more to be acknowledged. Inspired by their teachers and mentors, this show is produced by Malia Mihailoff and Suzanna Davis. It is hoped that the debut of this event will lead to future productions featuring more of these remarkable women of our community.
