“Ever seen a Wookiee bellydance? This can be remedied.” – MSN
Experience nerd delight! Hang with the bellydancing Wookiee, firespinning superheroes, and sword-wielding villains for a brand-new production of fire, cosplay, and wonder every other month – we’ll pay tribute to everything from X-Men to Star Wars, Doctor Who to Silent Hill, Super Mario Bros to Sandman.
So grab a Romulan Ale, help raise money for local non-profit orgs, and geek out with world-class performers – don’t miss one of the most unique experiences in the Alpha Quadrant!
Second Fridays at 9:00PM (8:30 pm doors)

Voted “Best Dance Troupe” (runner up) by the Chicago Reader, Raks Geek is the premiere bellydance, flow arts, and fire performance company by geeks for geeks – they broke the internet’s collective brain with a viral video of a Wookiee bellydancing to a four-piece Klingon band. Raks Geek is based in Chicago, but they’ve made waves nationally and internationally on MSN, The Daily Mail, and WGN-TV through their commitment to blend a high degree of artistic and technical mastery with fun, creativity, and themes from nerd culture.
