Dimitra was a great performer and she contacted her self with class and professionalism. Even though the venue had technical difficulties with the music Dimitra came through unfazed and gave an excellent performance. We will definitely recommend her to all our friends for future events.

I'd like to start my review by saying how apprehensive I was about hiring a belly dancer to perform at a school fundraiser event. This was a parent's only event, mind you. I didn't know how the crowd would take to the idea. Dimitra The Greek Belly Dancer was fantastic and put my fears to rest immediately! As soon as her music started, she was off and interacting with the crowd. Many guests enjoyed dancing with her while trying their best to duplicate her moves. They didn't even come close! Dimitra was at one with the music and didn't miss a beat! She had the most friendly and inviting smile and never lost any energy or enthusiasm throughout her 15 minutes performance. Her moves were authentic, captivating, and dramatic. Dimitra is the real deal. You will NOT be disappointed if you hire her! First class all the way! Thank you, Dimitra!

Dimitra has performed with Greek and Middle Eastern live bands in Chicago throughout a variety of venues.
