Nina shined at a recent event we worked on with her. She engaged the crowd and opened eyes to a new level of entertainment in our area. She was fun, energetic, and wore a smile that was contagious! Highly recommend if you’re looking to liven up your gathering!

What to expect

When you book me, you can expect a glamorous, engaging cabaret show filled with dazzling costumes, eye-catching props, professional choreography, and playful audience interaction.
My performances draw inspiration from the Roaring Twenties, flapper dance, Charleston, and tap, alongside the sparkle of Las Vegas cabaret and the theatrical glamour of Moulin Rouge. From vintage elegance to lively showgirl numbers, each show brings variety, personality, and excitement to your celebration.
I love connecting with guests and inviting them to become part of the experience through dance-along moments, audience interaction, and photo opportunities.
Performances can be customized in length, style, and format to suit your event, whether you’re looking for one featured show or several shorter sets throughout the celebration. Costumes, music, and props can also be selected to complement your theme and vision.
Ideal for weddings, corporate events, holiday and New Year’s Eve celebrations, wineries, restaurants, festivals, and private parties, my cabaret shows bring glamour, fun, and a personal touch to your special occasion.

About

My name is Nina Lehey, and I am a professional dancer, actress, choreographer, and live entertainer originally from Russia. Dance has been my greatest passion since I was three years old, when I first heard Brazilian music and immediately started dancing.
Years later, while studying acting at theater school in France, I discovered tap dance and fell in love with it. Over the next ten years, I dedicated myself to performing, teaching, and creating choreography for shows, festivals, and special events in Russia.
After moving to the United States, I continued performing and teaching, including working with children in musical theater. For four years, I performed throughout the tri-state area, bringing dance and live entertainment to private parties and special events.
Today, my focus is on cabaret shows that bring together the glamour of Old Hollywood, the playful energy of the Roaring Twenties, and the sparkle of Las Vegas. My performances bring together my theatrical background, the glamour of cabaret, dazzling costumes, and eye-catching props, with playful audience interaction that invites guests to become part of the show.
Now based in upstate New York, I am excited to connect with local clients and bring my love of cabaret to celebrations across the region. For me, dance is about connecting with people, creating an atmosphere, and sharing the joy of movement.
