News / Belly dancers go on stage
ACCOMPLISHED belly dancer Rocio Bolanos and five of her students are to present an evening of belly dancing at Lerwick’s Garrison Theatre next week.
Ms Bolanos, who lives in Shetland, is an experienced belly dancer and choreographer who has danced professionally for more than 13 years.
Her dancing is influenced by many styles and cultures including Bedouin, Andalusi, Egyptian and Lebanese.
On Friday 18 February, starting at 7.30 pm, she and her students Robina Barton, Fiona Grieve, Stella Nort, Zoe Smith and Linda Wiseman will present their programme Azafran to a wider audience.
She said: “I’m very happy to perform in Shetland again and in such a fantastic venue as the Garrison. This show will be a special event full of colour and music from different cultures.
“Also this year is especially exciting because some of my students are participating in it. We’ve all had great fun preparing this performance and we’re all out to just enjoy it.”
Robina Barton said it had been great fun going to belly dancing classes. “Great music, great clothes and great exercise – just a feel good experience,” she said.
“Preparing for the performance has been a giggle and hopefully the audience will enjoy it as much as we do!”
Tickets are available at Shetland Box Office, at the Islesburgh Community Centre, telephone number 01595 745555 or online at www.shetlandboxoffice.org
