Belly dancer in red in Bastion Square Victoria BC

Brand Stories | Ruby Raqs

I got together with Ruby Raqs on a very rainy morning to take some belly dance branding photos for her (she is also a burlesque performer). But the rain didn’t deter us, as Ruby is such a professional. Seriously, she is a dynamic and charming performer… you should definitely go see one of her shows. She dances at Tumeric in Langford quite often.

Then we wandered over to Fan Tan Alley.

A little booty action.

 

 

 

We finished with this Egyptian costume at Government House. The other costumes were locally made by Turquoise Pearl Design.

 

Can you do an epic pose? Like I really had to ask.

Ruby was a blast to photograph and I think these photos turned out magical. You can find out more about her here.
