"wa' SaD ram wa' ram je" is a Klingon Opera Ballet performed in the original Klingon by the il Troubadore Klingon Music Project and the Different Drummers Belly Dancers in the original Klingon.
"wa' SaH ram wa' ram je" ("One Thousand Nights and a Night") is a tale about a Klingon warrior who returns home after ten years only to find that his mate is having a contest for a new husband. Being battle scarred and unrecognizable to his household and mate he must enter to win back the hand of his beloved. After winning the bat'leth battle competition he faces the ultimate challenge--he must sing a song that will excite his mate or be put to death at her own hands.
For one thousand and one nights he sings while the household dancers dance. Act three of the Opera Ballet, which will be performed abridged, tells this story as well as its conclusion!
Pre-Costume Contest Show!

This is our big show, the one we are famous for at Gen Con. Come see us salute a new selection of fandom music. Our theme this year is "From Many to One!" Many disparate groups and people come together to form something greater than themselves and accomplish great deeds. (Yes, we are thinking about the Avengers here!)
Classes this year include the every popular Belly Dance For EVERY Body!, American Tribal Style(R) Belly Dance – Introduction, and Advanced Belly Dance. Remember that all every body young, old, male, female, all shapes, sizes, genders, and colors looks good when belly dancing. So YOU are welcome to these classes. Come find out just how good your body looks.
Classes Are:
Belly Dance Is For Every Body! introduces participants to the ancient art of belly dance. Remember: If you have a belly, you can belly dance. :)
American Tribal Style® Belly Dance For EVERY Body! America has its very own style of belly dance: American Tribal Style® (ATS). ATS has set movements and group formations that allow for dancers who have never met, to dance beautifully together! This class for beginners and experienced belly dancers alike.
Dance, Dance, Belly Dance. This class is for anyone who has taken a belly dance class of any style - including this year at Gen Con!
