Book Maya! She is amazing!!!

Our family had an ab absolutely wonderful experience with Maya from the ease of booking and planning all the details of her costumes, music, drummer, props and sound systems, to her amazing and beautiful performance at my husband's birthday dinner. Everyone had so much fun at the event. Not only my husband, but also especially all the kids and even my mom! Maya did such a great job reading the crowd and playing to the audience. Working with Maya was such a pleasure. Her attention to details and really listening to my requests for what I envisioned the event to look like was spot on. Also she was very professional and her communication was excellent. She delivered on every point and I could not have asked for a better experience! I would hire Maya again in a heartbeat!

We Love Maya!

Review:

I am thrilled to share my heartfelt gratitude for Maya and her team's exceptional service at our wedding. From the outset, Maya's professionalism and dedication set the tone for a truly extraordinary event. Her attention to detail and commitment to exceeding our expectations were evident in every aspect of the planning process.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the entertainment segment, which surpassed all expectations. Maya went above and beyond to incorporate unique elements such as LED wing lighting and sword dancing, which added an enchanting and mesmerizing touch to our celebration. The performers' skill and passion were palpable, leaving our guests captivated and enthralled throughout the night.

One of the most memorable moments was when Maya encouraged our guests to join in the festivities and hit the dance floor. Her energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and before we knew it, the dance floor was filled with laughter and joy. Maya's ability to engage and entertain our guests exceeded all expectations, making our wedding night truly unforgettable.

I cannot thank Maya and her team enough for their professionalism, responsiveness, and seamless execution of every detail. Their dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our special day. I wholeheartedly recommend Maya's services to anyone seeking excellence for their event.

Thank you, Maya, for going above and beyond to make our wedding a night to remember. Your creativity, passion, and commitment to perfection truly made all the difference.

Warm regards,
Jennifer (the bride)

I wish I could put more than 5 stars!!!!!!

Maya was extremely professional from start to finish! She answered my inquiry and accepted our request so fast, that made it easier to focus on other parts of my event knowing that we had a reliable entertainer. Maya kept in contact and was detailed, professional and fun the whole time :) When she arrived she looked so beautiful and put together from head to toe, she was on time and a great communicator. The entire party was so excited to see her and her entrance was nothing short of GRAND! We enjoyed her exciting show and danced along with her, even the kids got into it lol She was so kind to everyone and we all felt included. I am so happy we got a chance to meet her and speaking with her after the event just solidified what a great decision we made. I will always keep Maya in mind as a top tier performer for any event that I have! Not only was she a professional, she was also a sweet, kind and intelligent source and we are so lucky to have crossed paths with her! I wish her all the best in every aspect and will definitely do business with her again!! <3

About

"Maya….you left the whole room hypnotized when you danced! Your routine was the mastery of the human soul reflected in graceful movement. It was poetry in motion, beyond description.” - Dora Zamora, ICON Latino Music

2018 Champion of Miss Raks Chicago!

Maya stays current with the latest belly dance styles, music and costuming from around the world; by continuing to travel and study with international Master Instructors. She has studied with Azad Kaan (Turkey), Tito Seif (Egypt), Zafrah (Argentina), Aziza Nasr (Egypt), Randa Kamal (Egypt), Jillina (USA), Nour (Russia), Helena Vlahos (Greece), Sadie (USA), Asi Haskal (Israel), and Ava Fleming (USA), Ranya Renee (USA/Egypt).

She continues to pursue precision in her artistic expression with consistent private training in Ballet, Jazz, Theater, Arabic Musicality & Cultural nuances. Maya values the importance of understanding the subtle cultural differences in hand gestures, facial expression & body language when performing for different audiences.

Maya has experience performing in big productions on large stages, corporate events, cultural festivals, with live Arabic singers & musicians, in Middle Eastern restaurants and nightclubs. She has also had the honor to participate in Arab 'women's only' family events as both a guest and a performer.

Additional booking notes

Maya can perform anywhere from the size of a theatrical stage to an area rug. She will accommodate her performance to fit your space.

Don't have a sound system? That's ok! If needed, she will bring a small sound equipment with her or (with advanced notice) can bring a portable PA system.

Maya does NOT dance in any belly dance troupes. She can NOT be booked through belly dance companies, troupes, teachers or performers (except in the Chicago area). There are a few professional belly dancers that will send her as a 'direct referral'.

Unfortunately, images and video clips of Maya are being used on belly dance websites, social media and news letters to promote belly dance companies that she does NOT dance with. She has never been absent to a booked performance. Clients have been shown photos of Maya and promised a performance by her. Then on the day of the show, clients are given an excuse and a replacement. So if you want to book Maya specifically, please book directly or confirm that she is aware of the third party booking.
