Incredible Entertainment

Jala brought pure magic to our company holiday event. From the moment she stepped into the room, her presence captivated everyone. Her graceful dance movements, vibrant costumes and easy, natural connection with the audience created an elegant, exciting atmosphere. She melds artistry with showmanship in a way that makes you forget you’re watching a performance—she makes you feel like you’re part of it. Our guests were talking about her days later. If you’re looking for an artist who can transform an event into an experience, book Jala and you won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to find the next opportunity to book her.

So Fun!

Jala helped me coordinate a surprise for a bachelorette party - she came to my house dressed and in makeup, snuck out to give us a a quick preview/performance and then we had a 50 minute class with her! She was so fun and understanding of what terrible dancers we were! I really feel like we learned the basics of belly dancing and we had fun doing it!

Great performer

Janet is friendly, understanding and an excellent performer! She made the entire process very easy and responded to all my messages quickly and efficiently. Janet arrived on time and communication with me when she was en route. She was very accommodating when a few of my guests ran late and put on an amazing show for myself and my guests. Everyone at my birthday party was very impressed with her skill level and we enjoyed watching her do her dance routine. Highly recommend Janet and I hope to work with her again for future events !

As an Actress, Janet was the lead in the micro series Object Affection which explores her dry humor with an Armchair as her costar. She had the opportunity to bring her love of astrology to life playing a Witch in How To Treat A Snakebite. She’s been seen twirling about at the New Amsterdam Theater, The Triad Theater, the Actors Temple in NYC all the way west to a full house at the MGM Grand in Vegas.

As a Creative Solutionist, Janet has been known to solve problems on the fly in every aspect of her life and career and is frequently consulting in every genre of entertainment. She is a firm believer that there is no “I” in team and loves that it takes a village to create. Everyone’s presence on the team brings value and is an asset to the creative process.

She loves sushi, swarovski’s and spin class.

Additional booking notes

DJ or Sound system is vital to the ease of the show. A flat surface area for performance is ideal. Any show including Isis wings and fire both need high ceilings, although the Isis wings can manage if need be with lower ceilings.

Set list

Each set will have the framework of starting with an extravagant opening which includes the Isis wings, in red or gold, an exciting hip dropping drum, a light hearted zill dance and of course some songs to get all of your guests up and moving and shaking on their feet. The show is designed to bring your guests on a journey through the art of belly dance and make it an experience they will never forget! Jala makes sure your guests are having an unforgettable night made of beautiful memories, with hopes of kodak moments on the dance floor!
