FEATURE BELLYDANCER ZOE JAKES: Zo� is a proud member of the indigo which recently was
on the road touring their show Le Serpent Rouge. She has been touring with Bellydance Superstars since the fall of 2005 and can be seen performing on their new Tribal Fusions DVD. Combining talents with David Satori and Tommy Cappel to create Tribal Derivations last spring, Zoe discovered she enjoyed creating music, and plans to make more. When not with the Indigo, she tours with The Yard Dogs Road Show, a cartoon circus sideshow of wacky dimension, and has been seen tearing it up with the Extra Action Marching Band.
An innovative dancer, Zoe has been said to have her
own unique take on Tribal bellydance. She takes her influence from Art Nouveau, tango, Breakdance, and Indian classical dance. Zoe was recently nominated for Zaghareets best interpretive artist 2007. She loves unicorns and has never once doubted their existence.

MORE BELLYDANCE: SHAKTI DANCE MOVEMENT: A series of fundraisers was a tremendous success, and this unique group sent 6 dancers on a West Cost trip to train with legendary masters and perform on the international stage. Shakti leader Kalae K. highlights workshops by Heather Stants of Urban Tribal Dance Company, Colleena Shakti, and Rachel Brice as instrumental in her journey in teaching and learning how to transmit the feminine divine. Shakti's performance on the international Tribal Fest stage was a tremendous success that left the group with a deep sense of fulfillment and appreciation.
