This performance was part of the Virgin Megastore's grand re-opening event to showcase the new lifestyle and music zones within their store. Floor Three includes a Zone called "Virgin Mind, Body & Spirit, dedicated to the exploration of mind, body, spirit & self-help.

In addition to featuring Jillina's new 3-DVD boxed set, this section now sells bellydance merchandise, including hip scarves, hip wraps and special bellydance t-shirts to its merchandise line.
