April 12, 2025ZaffaHappy made our Spring Festival into a very memorable event. 🥳👏 Communication with her was very easy and she arrived in good time. 👍 ZaffaHappy was so friendly and helpful, almost feeling like a guest rather than an entertainer. 🥰 I thought that none of my guests and clients would participate, but everyone did, including me. 🤗 I cannot recommend her enough and would not hesitate to invite her again. 💯 ZaffaHappty was delightful friendly lots of fun and all the guests enjoyed her dancing, she made our festival perfect 🎉🎊 Will certainly be asking her to dance for us at future parties.💃

Marhaba,
If this is a middle-eastern type of celebration, I like to open with "Mabrouk" by Ramy Ayach as shown here: (link hidden) we can move on to classics, such as Enta Omri or Laila Alf Laila (if desired). Likewise, we can move on to modern remixes by Amr Diab, Remy, and Nancy and/or Hakim and earlier Amr Diab or any playlist you already created.
Hello,
If this is a western-style celebration for baby or bridal shower or a 90th birthday party for grandpa, I stay with 1-2 upbeat modern songs and mini-lesson for all guests. I will work along your favorite playlist.
You can request songs to be performed or rely on my suggestions. If you are choosing songs, please have them in your collection. I usually have Bose speaker, if needed.
Born in Ukraine, Anelia has developed passion for Arabic music her parents brought from their years in Iraq in late 70ies. Fast forward into 2005, Anelia has rekindled her appreciation of classical and modern Arabic music and began taking belly dancing classes. English instructor by profession, she finds time to continue to perform at weddings, fund raising events, and festivals. Anelia also teaches belly dance at Cielo Breathwork - an upscale wellness studio in Middletown, KY - and she is used to encouraging audience participation at events. She can work with your DJ or offer a mini-lesson to your guests for a fun group activity. In recent years, she also got involved in Bollywood dance. Ideally, you have your favorite music ready and she can get your party going!
Please have your (tentative) choice of music and let me know if you plan to have a live band. I can dance to live band and do improvisation to new music.
