Punctual, Though the Photos Set Different Expectations!

She arrived on time and had good communications prior upto the event date. I just wanted to share a small piece of feedback- the photos shared at time of booking gave us a somewhat different impression of what to expect. There was a noticeable difference from the photos and videos , which unfortunately left us and some of our guests a little disappointed. I thought it would be helpful to share this with you for future bookings.

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.

Set list

I dance mostly to preprogrammed CDs, but I have also danced with a live drummer.

Influences and inspiration

I am partial to most of the old school and vintage dancers, I love the classic Arabic dancers and I also love bellydancing to Greek music.

Setup requirements

I generally use my laptop, my phone or ipad.
