The woman who became known as The Steampowered Belly Dancer, first performed with Dark Follies in 2010 dancing with her sword and cane throughout the summer street shows.  A dancer with a remarkable talent for the dramatic and unusual, she and Dr.Druesome brought The Steampowered Belly Dancer to “life” at the appropriately named Dark Follies stage show Vaudeville Never Died in April of this year.

It is always a treat to see what she will bring to the show next and we are happy her on board.
