Our local whirling dervish, Gregangelo Herrera, has his own circus. Usually, Velocity Circus performs superfancy private gigs for rich folk; the costumes alone cost tens of thousands of bucks. But at Heliopolis – City of the Sun, you and your short friends are invited to a family friendly international showcase of sparkle. The show is also genuinely multicultural, featuring the Velocity Dance Company's belly dancers in the famous Raks al Sayf sword dance, Uran Gar Mongolian dance by Darkhia Damba, and the Snake Dance of Shiva. All that and an accomplished dervish, live dumbek drumming, and, if we know the Velocity group, somebody doing backflips on bouncy-footed stilts.
