Manasa
Tribal Fusion Belly Dance
Performing on Saturday at 1:30pm
"Manasa... A name passed on through the ages, untouched by time. The divine deity of ancient civizations, worshipped as a creative principle, whose energies bound the universe. A name of tribal orgin, that in Sanskrit stands for a sacred place... heart, mind, and spirit. In taking the name, Manasa, we sxpress how dance is our spiritual jouney. Our path is of creativity, friendship, and devotion to the dance, and with our energies bound to the universe, we come to you ...Manasa.
"The dance we perform, American Tribal Style (ATS) belly dance, is a fusion of tribal dance formats from India, the Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa, and Spain.
Our colorful costumes reflect the exotic melange of those people,
with modified Indian cholis, coined bras, three-tiered skirts over billowing pantaloons, embroidered and mirrored tassel belts, and lots of tribal jewelry. This brings to our viewers an exciting visual feast!
Each of our performances is a unique presentation of our collaborative creative efforts."
"We hope that our performance takes you on an incredible entertainment adventure, where you can join us in the spirit and joy of our dancing. Come celebrate and enjoy with us!"

Kousin Krispy
"All the Swamp, Twice The Stomp!"
Imagine Weird Al driving a tour bus full of Mariachi band members
being T-boned at an intersection by the Ventures who happen to be
listening to an eight track of Ravi Shankar at the time. Now set this
unlikely scene in front of a trailer park full of old single wides
and you would get a pretty good idea what the band is about:
The music is upbeat, danceable, varied, irreverent, and above all
entertaining.
Genre: Monkey Paw Blues, Hillbilly Surf, Haltertop Pop
