“Our violinist did an excellent job providing a perfect blend of romantic music for the background of our wedding and Oceans by Hillsong United for my wife’s walk down song. ”

March 22, 202390th surprise birthday party for my dad
Fotia was great! She responded in a very timely manner during the weeks I contacted her prior to the party to make sure we were on the same page with our plans and she came early on the day of the event because another entertainer got sick on the day of the performance and she gave a wonderful performance that all our guests loved. She also stayed after her performance to allow everyone to get photos with her as well. Wonderful person , easy to work with, a true professional who made our party a great hit with everyone.

What to expect
I love to interact with the audience. I am also available to talk about costuming, should you have a preference, always in a tasteful style.
About
I have performed at many events, including birthday parties, bachelorette parties, small weddings, retirement parties and benefits, but absolutely no bachelor parties. My venue is family oriented; in fact, children are the most fun to dance with!
Please review my website for a full testimonial from Soraya of New Jersey, international bellydance star, who is also my mentor and very good friend.
Additional booking notes
I always work with a written contract.
