The Early Bird Gets the Dancers...!

"Cinco de Mayo, Gypsy-Style!"

If you've stopped by our FAQs page (or, for that matter, visited either of our Galleries), you know Desert Gypsies are grounded in Middle Eastern dance. That said, we often foray into related dance forms, particularly the skirt-twirling, foot-stomping dance moves of zambra and flamenco. In fact, our most popular show at the Las Vegas Renaissance Faire is strongly Spanish-influenced.

That versatility allows us to present an engaging Spanish-influenced show that's perfect for Cinco de Mayo. Sadly, last year we had to turn down several requests for a Cinco de Mayo performance, as we were booked in March for a May 5th show. (We don't double-book, because we prefer quality over quantity.)

We're not booked for a Cinco de Mayo show...yet. If you'd like to nab us before it's too late, now's the time! May 5th is on a Monday this year, and our calendar is clear from 10 AM - 3 PM. If you're ready to enjoy a sizzling Cinco de Mayo show, click on the Contact Us page for our contact information!

And, since it's Throwback Thursday, here are some pictures from our Cinco de Mayo show at Atria Sutton last year, and from a Mexican-themed show we performed last year. Ole!

Happy Mardi Gras! at Destinations Oakey

We've wanted to celebrate Mardi Gras by sharing the joy of Middle Eastern music and dance for years, so the opportunity to enjoy the day with our friends at Destinations Oakey was a real treat!
