Welcome!
Under the
direction and choreography of Patti Harsch, Benat Serat is a
belly dance group who has danced together throughout San Luis
Obispo County for the past ten years at parades, farmer's
markets, festivals, and holiday functions. Troupe Benat Serat's
name means "a group of pretty girls." The troupe is available
for performances and community events.
** Special
note: We were very sorry to hear about the recent death of
our friend, Stan Thompson, whose photos are featured throughout
this site. Stan was always very supportive of our art and
was a tremendous asset to this community. We will miss him
greatly.
Patti - Om
Sadig
Patti's dance name means
Mother Friend. She has been dancing, drumming, and
choreographing for over 30 years. For the past ten
years, Patti has been the Director and creative
visionary for Troupe Benat Serat. Patty welcomes

Our Dancers, Their
Names and What They Mean
Each dancer earns her
unique dance name from Patti when she joins the troupe. This is
a meaningful name, carefully chosen, by which each dancer will
be known as long as she dances.
