Tuaca Body Art Ball

What are YOU doing this weekend?

If you're looking for something beyond the usual, then you're in luck. Tuaca, a delicious Italian vanilla liqueur, sponsors an unique event that travels from city to city and this year, they're stopping here.

The TUACA® Body Art Ball comes to St. Louis this Sunday on March 14 at the Pageant. Admission is free to anyone 21 years or older bearing a ticket (available upon registration at www.tuacabodyartball.com). Blending body art, music and dance, the TUACA® Body Art Ball is a one-night-only stage performance that is put on in select cities across North America. Male and female dancers are painted in various artistic themes and expressions as they perform to sychronized acrobatic routines ranging from the sensual and mystifying to heart pounding rock 'n roll.

The nine city Body Art Ball Tour kicked off in Austin, Texas on February 1 and wraps up in Vancouver, Canada in June.

Admission is free. All entrants must be of legal drinking-age and must present an invitation at the door. Invitations are available upon registration at the official website TUACA® Body Art Ball.

The show, celebrating its fourth year running, is produced by Chris and Candy Productions out of Dallas, Texas.
