One of a kind!

Nimeera did an amazing job at our event! She was very professional and has a wonderful personality!! She was so accommodating and went above and beyond to meet our needs - including preparing dances to songs from Aladdin so kids could participate! Everyone had a great time at the event and the snake dance was wonderful. Would highly recommend to anyone!!

Thank you so much Samra! Your event was absolutely amazing, and we were honored to be able to contribute to it in a positive way. I love how the Aladdin dances came out. The children were so much fun! And of course, we love every chance we have to introduce everyone to the snake members of our family. Most definitely looking forward to dancing for you again soon!

What to expect

Nimeera offers a fun, sophisticated style of bellydance to delight all ages. Her easy playfulness naturally encourages audience interaction and participation. she will customize her performance to meet your specific needs, whether it's a casual family celebration, a high-end wedding, or a night out with the girls. Shows can include dancing with a veil, finger cymbals, cane, sword, Isis wings, fan veils, shamadan (candelabra), and balance on drum. Nimeera is equally comfortable dancing to both live and recorded music. Longer performances or additional dancers.

Nimeera is the premier snake charmer on the East Coast and is happy to share her lovely serpents at your event. Invite one of Nimeera's serpentine friends to your event, and watch the crowd go wild! With many beautiful snakes to choose from, she is certain to have the right one for the occasion. Need something small and cute, big and impressive, pretty and candy-colored, or even a white snake for your white party? Nimeera has the perfect one for you. All snakes are non-venomous, highly socialized, very friendly, healthy and relaxed, and specifically trained for dancing. By request, Nimeera and her snakes can extend their stay for taking photographs with the guests. Nimeera's snakes are also available your video/photoshoot, with either Nimeera modeling, or working with your own models.

Some specialties may require at least two weeks notice prior to the performance but will further enhance your special event.

Short Bellydance Show - This is a mini belly dance performance of approximately 10 minutes in length. This option is ideal for smaller parties and for surprise "hip-and-run" type bellygrams.

Classic Bellydance Show - Nimeera will perform for approximately 25 minutes. The first half of the performance is a show which may include finger cymbals, veil, cane, or other props by request. If appropriate, the second half of the performance is usually more focused on audience participation, with everyone on their feet and dancing by the end of the show. Nimeera can add a song or two in Persian, Turkish, or Indian Bollywood style by request.

Weddings - Zeffa OR Performance - Of course, you want your special day to be perfect! Nimeera is happy to help you plan all the details of the wedding performance (coordinating costume colors, special songs, guests to dance with...). She always allows extra time for weddings because she knows that uncontrollable events can effect your event schedule.

Children's Arabian Princess Party - Little girls love to dress up! Bring a little fantasy to your child's special day while you relax. Nimeera will dance just long enough to capture the children's imagination. Then everyone will dress up in scarves and jewels. All children will receive a special Arabian Princess gift bag. Finally, Nimeera will lead the group in a fun dance activity based on Middle Eastern dance. Intended for groups of 4 to 20 children ages 6 and up. Hipscarves may be provided for the duration of the activity. Activity hosted at your location of choice. Total activity time 30 - 60 minutes.

Combination performance/group lesson, at your location - This special package includes a performance plus a bellydance lesson for all your friends. Nimeera brings hip scarves and veils for the participants to use during the lesson, and a special gift for the guest of honor! This is a fun package perfect for women-only parties such as bridal and baby showers. Total activity time 45 - 60 minutes.
