Ancient Dance - Contemporary Beats

This ground-breaking DVD is the first of its kind in Australia and features Underbelly’s finest artists each performing twice with multiple costumes and diverse musical accompaniment in a historical setting. Both a homage to the folkloric and classical traditions of music and dance from Greece, Turkey, Iran, Egypt and West Africa and a startlingly unique departure from tradition, this DVD will have you jumping to the djembe, undulating to the ney and even shakin’ your booty to some local Melbourne hip-hop!

All dance and live music performances were recorded live on site at the historic Reading Room, Fitzroy Town Hall in Melbourne, Australia. The DVD also features bonus Live Footage of Melusina, recorded at the BMW Edge at Federation Square, Melbourne, Australia.
