About the Parade;

It’s fun! It’s an achievement, It’s where dancers work together for a larger vision. I have been doing this for about 17-18 years now. Each year women see our beauty, joy and pride in the parade and are inspired to start belly dancing the next week. 2 years ago 15 year old Nicole saw us and got inspired to be in the parade the next year. She is 17 years old now and has been a featured dancer at Costa's and Taki’s Mad Greek and she teaches at her high school!
