Barest effort at a premium price

Michael_W, Jan 2026

The dance performances, promised to be "sensational" and "charming", would be better described as the half-hearted attempt to throw together a show at the last minute. Colorful lights and lots of waving fabric could barely hide the fact that, with very few exceptions, the choreography looked like it was deliberately made simplistic to avoid rehearsal. The men in particular spent much of their time just walking about and sadly lifting a leg or two, once in a while. There were some exceptions. One or two of the dances involved detailed and well-executed choreography with impressive coordination among the dancers. These lasted, however, only a few minutes out of the entire evening. One true highlight was a duo at the end of the evening. A single elegant and truly virtuosic belly dancer performed alongside an equally talented percussionist playing on a single traditional drum. This was a short but brilliant performance, the likes of which we might have expected after paying such exorbitant ticket prices for an entire evening of mediocrity. For this performance alone, the evening deserves an extra star. The stage direction was amateurish. Dancers came and went, with no satisfying conclusion to their dance or inappropriate spot for the audience to begin clapping. At the end of the evening, the dancers encouraged the audience to clap in rhythm with the music, and then first took individual bows, making it impossible for the audience to applaud heartily for the dancers that they found particularly good. All in all, the evening had the makeshift feeling of a middle school performance. One more thing… the lobby where guests were told to arrive early and congregate was a little more than a hallway with absolutely no provisions for a large crowd. Guests were herded into the hall like cattle, and at the end of the performance, after the clapping died down, the exit door opened and a single attendant turned to the now confused audience and rudely gestured with a shake of his arm that we should get out of there. Don't waste your money on this tourist trap!
