Who are we?Formed 16 years ago in the land of Iowa, and from the oasis of Des Moines, we are the Rainbows of the Desert. Like a rainbow, we are a diverse group of people brought together by our love of the dance, forming a troupe, while maintaining our own individual colors. Prepare to be mesmerized by the story of us! The Rainbows of the Desert Dance Troupe is a group of women that felt that they needed an outlet for their art form and wanted to educate others regarding the many styles of this ancient dance. They began practicing and performing together under the name that we are known by now. Each woman has a positive influence in the troupe that we are today. The name of the group is indicative of the plethora of colorful personalities that unite us as one to form the many facets of our style of dance. As the reader you are probably wondering why we began to bellydance in the first place.....hmmmm, sit back and read. First, let us start with our top 10 reasons for belly dancing.... 10. History, Mystery and Magic 9. Do the Hippie Hippie Shake! 8. Shake, Rattle and Belly Roll. 7. Cleopatra, you go girl! 6. Zills, Chills and Thrills! 5. Pyramid Power 4. It's a Magic Carpet Ride 3. Shimmy Shimmy Coco Bop! 2. We've got Coins that Jingle, Jangle, Jingle. 1. It's a Hip thang to do. Our Past Endeavors......The beautiful women in this picture started our troupe. They decided that they wanted a way to share belly dancing with the state of Iowa. Although they were not the first group of women to come together to dance in the state, they were enthusiastic enough to teach others to enjoy their chosen art form. |
