Hideous Kinky Part Deux: A Speak Easy Cabaret is happening this Saturday at the Grey Box Theater in Lawrenceville. The event will feature music and dancing of course!

Hideous Kinky is hosted by the Zafira Dance Company, a combined belly dancing, contemporary and ethnic style dance troupe, which won the coveted Troupe of the Year 2007 award given by Zaghareet Magazine. The troupe will be performing, as well as Mira Betz of Barbary Coast Shakedown, West African Dance Sensations Balafon, Midge Cricket, as well as the combined musical talents of Buddy Nutt and Ukulady as Ukulucky.

According to their website, Zafira is donating a portion of the proceeds to V-Day, an organization that brings the issue of violence against women and girls front and center in the culture and the community. On April 12th, V-day is hosting in New Orleans,- V TO THE TENTH - featuring international performances of The Vagina Monologues, musical guests, V-Day activists from across the globe including Kenya, Afghanistan, Iraq, The Philippines, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eastern Europe , men standing up for women and much more.

The show begins at 8pm with doors opening at 7:30pm. Tickets cost $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Tickets can be purchased via the Zafira Dance Company’s website here. The Grey Box Theater is located at 3595 Butler Street in Lawrenceville and can be reached at 412-586-7744.

In addition to this event, Zafira Dance Company offers belly dancing classes around the Pittsburgh area at Breathe Yoga Studio in the South Side, Body Empowered in Bellevue and Bodiography Dance Studio in Squirrel Hill. I suggest checking out the schedule on their website to see available classes, times, locations, etc.

Also going on this night is 412 Tag and the “Hips, Rum and Rock and Roll” exhibit. Check out my previous posts for more information.

Have a nice weekend everybody!
