On average, professional belly dancers charge $200-$300 for a 30-minute performance. This price may vary depending on the location, length of the event, type of performance (elaborate, simple, etc), and the dancer’s experience level.
Belly dancers are most commonly booked for 30-minute performances. However, many belly dancers are willing to work within the needs of the event. If you’re planning a longer event, be sure to accommodate for the dancer to perform in sets with 10-15 minute breaks in between. You might also consider hiring multiple belly dancers for large events.
A belly dancer can be booked for events of all types. Belly dance shows are often booked at bridal showers, birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings, especially for Middle Eastern couples. Their unique style also lends itself perfectly to fairs, festivals, corporate events, and themed parties. You can hire multiple belly dancers for a full stage show, or set aside a performance space that allows guests to stop and watch the dancer perform as they mingle.
As with any performer, it is customary to offer tips. With belly dancers specifically, they might collect a tip from the planner at the end of the performance and/or collect tips from the guests during the performance. For the latter, you should discuss etiquette with your belly dancer prior to the event. Find out if they want to collect tips directly or through a tip jar of some sort, and then pass that information on to your guests.
