The Bellydance Superstars is a professional American belly dance troupe formed by Miles Copeland. Founded in 2002, the troupe extensively tour North America and Europe. They have released "Bellydance Superstars I", "II", and "III", compilations of music and three DVDs, with a feature documentary film called "American Bellydancer". An ensemble troupe called Desert Roses was also formed. They have now begun their 2008 tour, Babelesque.

Their "American-ness" is marked by the ethnic diversity and the Hollywood-esque show full of eye-catching entertainment, including a comedic dancing Marilyn Monroe skit conducted by Dondi.

Bellydance Superstars have brought American Tribal Style Belly Dance to the mainstream. It was formerly an underground branch of belly dance formed by Carolena Nericcio and her San Francisco based dance company, Fat Chance Belly Dance. Rachel Brice is a prominent member, her performances, often consisting of dark, goth-inspired costumes, snaky moves and electronica and new age infused music.

Jillina is the choreographer and artistic director of the troupe numbers.
