EXTRA!!! EXTRA!!!!
The Typsy Gypsys are proud to announce a new member!!
Eva Tennessee (also in Mirage and a star in her own right) has joined our ranks!
Yahoo! We are pleased to announce the addition of our newest member, Eva Tennessee! We know you've seen her around town, she still performs with Mirage, but now you can get even more of her spunky dancing when you come see the Typsy Gypsys. Her inaugural performance with us was at the recent Desert Passion show that featured Oliver Rajamani, and we received high praise afterwards, with a couple of audience members saying the Typsys Gypsys had never looked better! So next time you see Eva, congratulate her, as we welcome her as our new dance sister. Opa!
