The Belly Dance Shop is happy to be one of the vendors present at The Carolina Renaissance Festival again this year!

We will have a booth decorated with carpets, baskets and more authentic middle eastern objects. Our goods displayed for sale will include many of our favorite hip scarves and belts, veils, zills, jewelry, caftans and much more!

We are proud to be located next to the Dutch Door Stage, which is a main stage featuring:

"Raks Khatar: Jewels of the Caravan"

The local dance troupe will perform to live music using fire, canes, zills, baskets, swords and veils! Please click here for more festival information!

Even in the rain the dancers still shine and shimmy!

The "Dangerous Curves Show" is a must see!

Get ready for more than one show involving swords and many other dangerously used props!
