We didn't have belly dancing in the US until the 1890s, when Little Egypt performed at the Chicago World's Fair, or something like that. However, some of our friends do a little Curiosity Show, and I've been trying to convince them they need a belly dancer for that. (Napoleon went to Egypt, after all.)

Since we do mostly Southern gigs, being in Tennessee and all, we are looking forward to a chance to finally get to play Marching Through Georgia to an appreciative audience!!! ;-)

Seriously, I haven't been up there before, and I hear Galena is really a swell little town. The event sounds like fun and we are really looking forward to it.
