(Listed here as the closest venue to Lincoln)
Also to Newcastle – London – Basingstoke – Tewkesbury – Cardiff - Torquay
If you've never seen the BDSS perform this is a show not to miss! Critics say that they're not pure belly dance, they do fusion and Tribal styles and mix it in with gymnastics... BIG DEAL!
They've done more to raise the profile of belly dance than any other troupe in the world and they put on a jaw dropping show that's always excellent value for money!
