Help Us Connect Communities Through Belly Dance

Donation protected
We are a company of four dancers and long-time friends with a dream of performing our original pieces on tour in our newly formed dance company, Disco Iskandar. The troupe members: Ariel Celeste, Devin Alfather, Liz Azi, and Veronica Lynn. The Disco Iskandar show is directed by Veronica (that’s me!) and is the fulfillment of my deeply held fantasy of touring with good friends and sharing our art with audiences across the South, and of connecting communities through dance. Our wishes are for nothing fancy: a van to carry us, gas to get us there, set pieces to frame us, and fast food to sustain us.
The tour will run from January 6th to January 24th, 2023. The tour schedule:
1/6/23: Dallas, TX - The Nines
1/7/23: Waco, TX - TrueLove Bar
1/8/23: Austin, TX - Flamingo Cantina
**1/9/23: Live Austin local television on UpLate Austin**
1/17/23: Orlando, FL - Stardust Video & Coffee
1/19/23: Atlanta, GA -Red Light Cafe
1/20/23: Asheville, NC - Club Eleven

See our website for event information for each city!

A little about Disco Iskandar:
The show runs approximately 60 minutes with a 15-minute break between the first and second act. This psychedelic funky-licious production will feature professional caliber fusion belly dance, veil, prop balancing, Raqs al Assaya, Turkish belly dance, finger cymbals, disco (of course), and more. A combination of ensemble dances, duets, and solos, this show is a dynamic, high-energy production that is intended to be enjoyed by a diverse audience.
A local dancer will be featured in every city we visit. Largely, this project is a result of our profound desire to reconnect with the dance community and make new connections everywhere we go. We hope that by bringing cultural and fusion arts to various cities of the South, we will strengthen our community bonds and bring new folks into the fold. There can never be enough dance in the world!
We’re working on some fun merch and will keep the campaign updated as we go!
