One of the more interesting belly dancing shows that I have attended recently is called Punk RAQ. It's a unique form of belly dancing, combining the dancing with a gothic/punk theme. The show lasted four hours, and I found it very entertaining. All of the dancers were excellent, and I especially enjoyed the performances by the members of Oojam (videos of which are included below). (I don't normally create videos of performances, but the members of Oojam are all friends and the videos are a gift for them).

The featured acts were: Almase Arbesque, Odalesque Dance Company, Sashi Ascend Tribal Dance, Maary, Sabra & Red, Blue Damsel, Slept So Long, Politti Ashcraft, Khalida, Lella Alika, Eclipse, Tempest, Steven Eggers, Tamia, Rheo, Tamara, Jahan, Najila, Marjahani and Tahira
