Hi everyone!
June 6-7 will be an AMAZING weekend for classic bellydance music, drumming and dance in Pittsburgh!
On Friday June 6, Ishtar continues its all ages BellyDance BellyRock series with dancers Kari, Sterling and Joanna of Sadiqa. These ladies are fabulous dancers and teachers of bellydance and yoga. Ishtar is *the* band in Pittsburgh that plays the classic tunes of bellydance with their own surf rock twist. Putting the "ethno" into "ethnorock", and the "rock" into "BellyRock", Ishtar will create excitement like no other band you have ever heard!
