Middle Eastern Dance in Austin, Texas.
Lots of swirling color happened at the October 4 show, with two beautiful veil choreographies on display. And for folks who saw the lovely photo of Rania in The Daily Texan, this was the show! Enjoy, and we’ll see you on the 18th for a really unique show with ALL live music!
Mirage is very pleased to be a part of the upcoming Artopium Roving Festival. This edition of the festival is titled “The Eastern Mystics Edition” and will be at Hot Mama’s Espresso Bar, sponsored in part by Ararat! Join us Saturday, October 13 for an evening of great food and great dancing!
Mirage dances at 7:20. Jeanette, Katarina, and Najla will all be there, accompanied by our special guests Michelle, Thalia, and Zanj. We hope you’ll be able to join us!
Here are the details, from Ararat’s MySpace page:
Come and vibe on the chill sounds of Middle Eastern Music while eating yummy Ararat food hot off the grill, sipping your delightful drink from Hot Mama’s Espresso Bar, lounge in the hookah bar and kick back to watch the exotic fire and belly dancing before your eyes. Take a while to puruse the large art bazaar and buy everything from paintings, prints and sculpture, to jewelry, clothing, and more.
Get a psychic reading and a henna tattoo or just watch amazing henna artists create beautiful works on Artopium models……
The bazaar and main performances will be in the courtyard of the Pedernales Lofts, with a grassy area nearly the size of a soccer field. Which means plenty of room for hoola hooping, fire spinning and picnicking! There will also be plenty of seating under a large covering with chairs & tables or on rugs & pillows.
Tickets: Free all day admission for those who arrive before 2:00 pm.
After 2:00 it is $7 at the gate.

It’s time for another semester of Mirage American Belly Dance Theater! We’ve updated our calendar on the website. We look forward to seeing you in September!
I’m pleased to announce Mirage will be dancing at Desert Passion Middle Easter Dance Theater March 2, 2007. The show starts at 8pm at Casa de Luz, but you’ll want to come early to get a good seat!
I’ve posted our schedule and a few of our special guests for this semester on our calendar page. I hope you’ll be able to join us for a few shows!
Mirage is starting a new semester, and as part of the changes, we’re revamping the website a little and installing a content management system. It will take us a little bit to get everything back up and running, so please bear with us during the transition! Thanks!
