Overview
From Kentucky to Madrid, and spanning 8+ years of training, I am known for lively, engaging belly dance performances for audiences of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Satisfied event planners and families have hired me for galas, parties, events, weddings, festivals, holiday functions, celebrations, and social gatherings.
Professional, punctual, and personable, you can expect excellence from me. I offer an array of Middle Eastern dance styles including classical oriental belly dance, baladi, cane dance, and sha'abi.
Performing is a privilege that I hold sacred and offer from my heart. I look forward to sharing the power and beauty of belly dance dance with you! Reach out for a quote.

This was an awesome taste of Middle East dance traditions from a dedicated and passionate dancer. Her technique is very well developed and the props and costume are of the highest quality. Her presence and interactions are marked by respect and professional ethics. You definitely need to see Kelsey’s show!

Response from Kelsey and Doumbek Middle Eastern Dance:
Thank you very much, Emilio! It was a delight to represent Egypt at WorldFest.
Such versatility, dedication, and true passion for the art. Kelsey was punctual, and a pleasure to work with. She took all our ideas and molded an event out of them and took the stress off us. With just a quick 5 minute call she saw our vision and made it a reality.

What to Expect
You and I will collaborate to determine the style, costuming, prop use, and duration of performance that will best suit your event's environment and audience. From audiences of 2 to 200+, I am known for warm, inviting, and lively performances that emphasize audience participation and celebration of the guest/s of honor.
Additional Booking Notes
Live band: If you are hiring a live band for your event, connect me with the band's manager or leader as far in advance of your event if possible. That will give us time to coordinate timing, music, and staging.
Sound system: If you would like music channeled through a sound system, please send me the specifications of the system and what input methods are available (bluetooth, audio jack, USB, etc), and if a DJ will be managing the music for your event. If you have any song requests, please let me know as far in advance as possible.
