SISTER KATE BURLESQUE |
|
|
| Sister Kate is a genre crossing belly dance burlesque trio from SF that has quickly become bellydances' new sweethearts. Their unique blend of sexy, whimsical belly dance cabaret is like Arabian Nights exotica in a Barbary Coast saloon brothel. The look ranges from gun-toting, lederhosen-wearing wind-up dolls, to drunken sailors pulling mermaids from the sea. The sound is mixture of eastern European squeezebox circus and retro rockabilly swing. Their theatrical performances are part murderous mayhem, part showgirl strip tease. Sister Kate's atypical costuming, and provocative blending of dance genres have been changing the face of bellydance and wowing audiences around the Bay Area. They are regulars at the Hubba Hubba Revue, brought down the house at the SF Mecca Immersion, and hammed it up at the Love Parade 2008 VIP gala in San Francisco's city hall. They also produce the popular monthly gypsy cabaret "Baxtalo Drom - The Lucky Road," where they are showcased every fourth Friday at Amnesia in San Francisco's Mission district. In addition to this, they perform regularly at private parties, weddings, benefits, and local burlesque shows. All three ladies Wendy Darling, Sarah Campbell and Ashley Blair studied with local diva Jill Parker and danced as company members of Ultra Gypsy.
