College Park Rehab "Splendor of Egypt"

We always have a wonderful time dancing with our friends at College Park Rehab! We don't get many opportunities to perform our favorite Egyptian dances as we'd like, so we appreciated the chance to dust off our canes and saidi moves for this performance.

PirateFest 2017!

We had an absolutely amazing time at PirateFest this year! We especially enjoyed doing some improv dancing throughout the day and into the evening when the stage wasn't otherwise occupied, and we'll be doing more of that at Ren Faire later this year.

Atria Seville "Belly Dance Celebration!"

 



We always enjoy dancing for (and with!) our friends at Atria Seville, and our "Belly Dance Celebration!" in July was no exception. Thank you for celebrating the joy of Middle Eastern music and dance with us. We're looking forward to seeing you again soon!!







 

College Park Cinco de Mayo Celebration!

We had a wonderful time dancing for our friends at College Park to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! We don't get many opportunities to perform our favorite Mexican choreographies, so we thoroughly appreciated the chance to do so. !Muchas gracias, amigos y amigas!

Ren Faire 2015!

Did you make it to Ren Faire this year? We had a fantastic time performing, as you can see from the pictures below! If you didn't make it, don't worry...we'll be posting more pictures and videos soon!

Throwback Thursday: Flamenco-Gypsy Fusion!

We're already hard at work on new choreography for the new year, and right now, our focus is on enhancing our Spanish shows. We're developing some exciting new choreo that includes more flamenco footwork, more Spanish gypsy skirt, and more stick work! For now, we're keeping what we're working on under wraps. :) In the meantime, here's a throwback to one of our earliest performances as Desert Gypsies, back in August 2011.

Happy New Year 2015!

We're delighted to ring in a new year! -- but not because Desert Gypsies didn't enjoy 2014. We had the opportunity to share the magic of music and dance with old friends, and make some new friends, too.

We had the exceedingly good fortune to celebrate several holidays -- Mardi Gras, Father's Day, Halloween, and Christmas -- with our friends at Destinations Oakey, Atria Seville, and North Las Vegas Care Center. We also had the privilege of performing many themed shows this year, ranging from gypsy-flamenco to Egyptian to Greek.

In the meantime, Desert Gypsies wants to extend to all our friends our deepest thanks. We have enjoyed every moment of sharing the magic of music and dance with you this year! -- and we look forward to new adventures with you in 2015.

A special shout-out to our friend Shane Fairburn, who took the picture of Alexa and Angela at the Las Vegas Renaissance Faire (in the purple skirts on the outdoor stage). We think you'll agree he's an amazing photographer!

PirateFest Performance Update!!

Yes, our performance schedule has changed again, but it's good news...PirateFest invades Lorenzi Park tomorrow! -- and Desert Gypsies is ready to take the Main Stage at 4:45 PM. If you can't make it that early, we'll be performing again on the Second Stage at 6 PM. Assuming the wind isn't too fierce, the second show will be entirely different, so if you catch our first show, we hope you'll stop by to rak with us again. See you then!
