Cheyney Teagan is an Austin-based performer, musician, teacher, and event producer specializing in Egyptian Raqs Sharqi (bellydance).

Cheyney is known for her technical ability, musicality in dance, and interactions with her audience, and is remembered for being “full of zest and joyous energy.” Community and connections with people are at the heart of her dance practice.

Additionally, Cheyney loves to incorporate props such as Silk Veil, Isis Wings and Silk Fan Veils, as well as balancing props like Shamadan (candelabra), Candle Tray, and pot/jug while completing daring feats of mobility and strength. She has even been known to stand on top of her Doumbek drum to take her performance to the next level!

Cheyney also has a love of Middle Eastern Music, and is fluent in sagaat/zills and Upright Style Frame Drum, so leading a drum circle at your next event is a delight and a joy.

Would you like to be a part of the performance? A quick lesson on Bellydance Basics can get you and your audience up and moving with Cheyney. She'll even provide the iconic hip scarves for your entire party to borrow!

Making events memorable and bringing joy to audiences is Cheyney's goal, so let her craft a unique (or traditional) experience for you!

• To ensure the most smoothest performance for your event, I ask that a separate, lockable room or space be provided for stretching, changing, and storage. I can accommodate you even if this isn't possible, but it is something I need to know ahead of time for planning purposes.

• Both indoor and outdoor performances are possible, with advanced notice.

• I will almost always bring an assistant to aid with sound, props, and security. They are professional, courteous, and there to make sure everything goes smoothly so that you don't have to!
