March 15, 2026She made our entire wedding!
I had a vision of performing a belly dance for my husband at our wedding and took lessons with her leading up to it. She choreographed, lent me an outfit, and put on such an amazing show then brought me out to join her and surprise him. Her performance had everyone so in love and amazed! Genuinely one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. Her heart is amazing and her dedication to her craft is something you just have to witness for yourself. She did amazing crowd work as well!

We hired Shani for my father in law’s 89th birthday. She added a special touch to the party. She was very classy and entertaining. The dances were beautiful and everyone loved her. Most of all my father in law had the most fun he’s had in a long time.
Thank you Shani!

September 5, 2023Shani is your ultimate performer! SHANtastic!
I had my “secre-ieth” birthday party 🥳. It was an intimate gathering of my chosen family and friends who came from overseas and interstate.
They were mixed cultures as well… Filipinos 🇵🇭, Hispanics 🇲🇽, Koreans 🇰🇷, Americans 🇺🇸 etc. ,My guests totally enjoyed Shani’s belly dancing’s performance. They were enthralled at her dance moves… decent yet captivating. My nephew & sons were asking me how does Shani sway her hips. Does she make her bones disappear while belly dancing?
Shani also magnanimously taught Belly dancing to my guests. Almost ALL, save for 2 guests of the 60 plus participants, attentively watched Shani and followed her instructions. They danced and obediently moved their bellies, women and men alike. It was a marvelous sight to see at how enthralling and charismatic of a teacher Shani is.
Being her Zumba student, i asked if she could teach “I Made You Look” by Megan Trainor, which was a favorite of mine. She doesn’t include that on her routine… even until now. She said she will try to learn the steps. I didn’t expect anything from her. I was just happy she was performing and teaching belly dancing at my party 🎊 🎈! But… guess what… she danced and taught the Megan Trainor song and did not disappoint. It had the mark of a Shani Brown! Graceful, classy yet fun 🤩! She made everyone look (and dance, too)
I believed she exudes a mysterious yet friendly, artistic performance. She brings uniqueness, cohesiveness and enjoyment to an event that may run the risk of boredom. Shani ensured everyone participated; no one felt left out All my guests unanimously loved Shani. She is simply.. SHANtastic!
