Saucy Nancy

Saucy Nancy	Saucy Nancy soloist, fire performer and Co-founder of the Necropolis of St. Louis Saucy Nancy not only loves Middle Eastern dance, but all forms of ethnic dance. Her approach is traditional Egyptian bellydance that is highly influenced by modern dance and Gothic performance art–evoking a unique and avant garde approach to this ancient artform that is both primal and evocative. During 1998 to 2003, Saucy Nancy began bellydancing as a member of Aalim Dance Company of St. Louis. From 2000 to 2001, she was the "house dancer" every weekend at Club Euro and Hollywood Restaurant in St. Louis. Now, performing for more than a decade, she has gone on to become not only a performer, but also a supporter of other bellydancers. As the owner of The Necropolis, Saucy Nancy and her husband Spence have created one of the first, almost exclusive to bellydance, performance venues in St. Louis. She is also joint creator of Cairo Sound Clash; a bellydance performance art group comprised of live musicians and bellydance. Cairo Sound Clash performances are based on a fusion of styles including sword, fire balancing and floorwork. Cairo Sound Clash performances also include original, live music composed by Spence Harrison using predominately Arabic rhythms and instruments. From her experience with working with musicians, Saucy Nancy has also gained experience in stage and studio managing: From 1993 to 2003, she was theatrical manager for the St. Louis band "Son of William." And, currently, she is owner of Utopia Studios, a center for music and home of The Necropolis serving over 500 musical groups in a 25,000 sq. ft. facility. Saucy Nancy continues to learn new techniques for dance, and to be amazed at the beauty and dedication involved in this artform. Ultimately, Amy's main goal in dancing is to connect with the ancient patterns of movement that connect us with the universe.
