Belly Dance Shows
Make your next party the event of a lifetime with belly dance! Great for weddings, parties, corporate events, festivals, Sweet 16/quince, Bachelorette nights and more.

Bring the flair and excitement of belly dance to your special event, or add an exotic touch to your restaurant or coffee house with a custom dance show. Belly dance is fun, family-friendly entertainment that will get your partygoers smiling and up on the dance floor. Egyptian-style dance shows include a high-powered entrance number, prop work (veil, cane, Isis wings, sword, candles, etc), a dramatic taqsim and a finale featuring pop music and audience participation. A restaurant set usually follows this order. Book a mini-lesson to learn some new moves and have fun with your party guests.
