April 6, 2026We hired Madam Habib to perform at an 80th birthday party in our home with 12 guests. We weren't sure what to expect and all of us were absolutely blown away! Not only is she talented, she engaged everyone in the room and threw in a bit of humor as well. She was professional and easy to work with. We would definitely hire her again. Highly recommend!!!

October 1, 2023We were so grateful to have Madam Habib at our event on September 30. We had a last-minute request from our wedding couple to hire a dancer. Madam Habib was available and provided a great show (even in the wind!). Thank you!!

That's where Madam Habib comes in!
Her dance style is influenced by Egyptian, Turkish, American Tribal Style (ATS),Tunisian, Moroccan, East Indian, Persian, Iraqi dance... and ... Circus Arts. Ha haaa. Yep !
Performances have 4 to 5 sections with different tempos and prop use. Show runs 20-25 minutes and includes audience participation (if desired). Your choice of professional costuming and music with a mini lesson provided at the end of each performance.
Finger cymbals (zils) are used through out the show as well as a variety of props such as veil, sword, fire sword, glass goblet balancing for the drum solo, cane, pot, Isis wings, shammadan, flaming candle tray, palm torches, meleya, gypsy skirt dance.
For extra excitement have Habib perform with fire! Music is provided on a ipod. A house sound system is preferable but not necessary.

Since 1993 many Belly Dancers have influenced Habib's style. Delilah of Seattle WA was her first (incredible) teacher. Other strong influences include Cassandra of Mpls, Carolina Niriccio of FCBD, Jamila and Suhaila Salimpour, Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes, Ruth St. Dennis, Nadia Gamal and many others. Habib has a special affection for dancing with fire which she began in 2000 in Seattle WA. Snakes also have influenced Habib's dance. So sinuous, snakes have Belly Dance movement DOWN! Axl is the name of her favorite pet snake and they are quite the attention grabber any time the two appear in public.
A sound system is always great, but I have one if none available
