Story

About Bellydance Evolution

Bellydance Evolution is a world fusion dance theatre company founded and led by choreographer and artistic director Jillina Carlano. Built on the belief that bellydance is one of the most versatile and underestimated art forms in the world, BDE has spent nearly two decades pushing the boundaries of what dance theatre can be — weaving movement traditions from across the globe into full-scale theatrical productions with original scores, elaborate costumes, and stories that demand to be told. From Immortal Desires to The Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland to Dark Side of the Crown, each BDE production has toured internationally, performing for audiences in more than 20 countries. Swan Lake is our most ambitious work yet — and we're glad you're here for it.
