April 5, 2019We had an awesome bachelorette party dance/instructional. Phaedra was so nice, attentive and knowledgeable with our group. We had many laughs so coin skirts were shimmering. Will definitely use her again .

May 20, 2015Phaedra was perfect for my friend's 30th birthday party! All of her communication leading up to the event was wonderful; she really took the time to call and make sure she knew the details of the event and how she could make our friend have the best time. It was extra special that she brought a mix CD and coin skirt for the birthday girl to keep as well! Phaedra brought amazing energy to the party, and we're so glad we booked!

"It's Not A Party Until The Bellydancer Arrives"
You can expect an enthusiastic performance which will make your audience feel comfortable enough to join in.
I have taught at many bachelorette parties to girls who have never danced before in their lives, and we have a Great time! Everyone is encouraged to learn and jam together, and the bride walks away with a unique souvenir. Your bachelorette party will have a memorable experience and a BIG smile to show for it, as well as some new dance moves!
My training in bellydance comes from some of the foremost masters of the art, and my love comes from my Lebanese heritage. I can hire a combo of musicians if you prefer a live show. I am also a trained vocalist (I sing and play flute and/or saxophone at weddings on a regular basis), so I can lead your group in singing to the jolly good fellow or birthday honoree at the end of my show.
Coming from a background in instrumental and vocal music and musical theatre, Phaedra was mesmerized by Arabic dance and music after studying different types of dance from around the world. She feels that these art forms are beautiful ways to share the culture of her heritage.
She has been performing and teaching workshops and classes in Chicago and throughout the US for the past 14 years, as well as producing and taking part in cultural events, community fundraisers, and dance festivals as both a musician and dancer. Through active engagement, maintaining a high standard of execution, and participation in quality programming, Phaedra hopes to spread enthusiasm and respect for Middle Eastern dance as more and more people get acquainted with its health benefits and enchanted by its beauty.

If it is a large venue, a sound system is needed. Otherwise, I can bring my own.
