This is a very fun & unique package that is great for Ladies Night Out, corporate events, bridal showers or just to celebrate & try something different & new.

This will give your guests a deeper understanding of the dance & how it fits into Middle Eastern culture. If you're interested in trying the dance out with your friends, I will bring coin hip scarves to loan for a fun group lesson that is sure to get everyone moving.

Since before I could walk, I have had a passion for dance. I began studying dance at age 5 in Dallas, TX. I went on to study tap, baton, jazz, gymnastics, and I was a member of my high school drill team. My interest in belly dance started after watching belly dancers perform at a local renaissance festival. In 2008, I began taking classes and dedicated my dance career to belly dance full time. I have entertained audiences throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio areas, MN, FL and CA with Middle Eastern style belly dance. I use an array of props including: zills (finger cymbals), veil, sword, wings, fire tray, and shamadan. I look forward to sharing my passion for and skills in belly dance with YOU!

Booking Policy:
A deposit of 50% is due at time of booking to confirm your reservation. The remaining balance is due before or upon arrival at your event, prior to performance. Not after performance. The deposit holds your time slot as reserved. It is non-refundable unless I have to cancel. Be assured that I will only do so in the event of extreme illness or family emergency. A substitute dancer will be arranged if you so desire at the agreed upon fee.
Please be aware that my schedule fills up quickly so try to book your event in advance as much as is possible to reserve your date. Last minute bookings (within 48 hours of the event) will be charged at a higher rate.
As multiple bookings for a dancer on a given night are common; please plan your event carefully and coordinate with me for your reserved performance time. Should times change please notify me immediately, and I will work with you to accommodate to the best of my ability.
I will arrive 10-15 minutes before show time, and will leave promptly after the conclusion of the arranged appearance. Delays not caused by the dancer resulting in a wait time between arrival and performance will be charged at a rate of $25/10 minutes of wait time past the agreed upon show time, and may result in your show being cut short due to other previously booked engagements on that same evening.
Deposits may be secured via PayPal, personal check, company check, or money order. Balance may be paid the same way before or on date of event.

Please Note:
Middle eastern dance is a social and family friendly art form that celebrates and empowers women as such I DO NOT perform at ANY all male events.
