Bella Lux, an adult dance group, will be taking the Belly Up stage on Sunday, April 17 at 8 p.m. to present Le Cirque du Lux, a unique and immersive dance theater performance. For one night only, audiences will get swept away into the dark underbelly of Le Cirque, as their story unfolds through dance, music, and mystique. Bella Lux – co-founded by Elease Sgarbossa and Beth Guerrette – was born from a fiery collective of dancers and performance artists in San Diego with talents ranging from burlesque, heels, hip hop, hoop, fire dancing, jazz, and more. “With a genuine love of music, dance, costumes, and nostalgia, we bring the creativity, personality and entertainment to all of our shows,” said Sgarbossa. “Whether channeling the 80s, Beyonce, or swinging back to the roaring 20s, our passion is to entertain, enchant, inspire, and mystify.” Bella Lux is made up of more than 30 women, who range in age from 20-60 years old. They are doctors, lawyers, scientists, moms, and more – all coming together for the passion of dance. They rehearse year-long out of MBDY +be in Encinitas. Bella Lux performs 2-4 times a year at Belly Up in Solana Beach. The all-women group incorporates dance, movement, theatrics, and props into their routine to provide countless entertainment to sold-out crowds. Tickets for Le Cirque du Lux are $20 (advance), $23 (day-of show) and $35 (reserved loft seating) and can be purchased at https://bellyupsolanabeach.frontgatetickets.com. This is a 21+ only event, with doors opening at 7 p.m. For more information, visit https://www.thebellalux.com + Facebook
