    SHOW INFORMATION

  • A classic Cabaret style show is around 15-30 minutes in length, and is suitable for most events. This generally includes a sweeping and elegant veil entrance number, upbeat dancing, audience participation and an exciting and climactic drum solo.

  • Shorter or specialized performances are perfect for festivals and private parties. A combination of lesson and a performance is a great choice for bachelorette parties, bridal showers and more!

  • Props such as finger cymbals, veil, sword and fire may be requested (fire and sword for a nominal fee), and styles such as traditional folk, Turkish, Egyptian, and Indian fusion are also available upon request.

  • Requirements for a performance are a private, locking change room (not a public washroom), a powerful CD system or band and sufficient dancing space that is safe for bare feet.

  • Please keep in mind that bellydance is a respected art form and male-only events like bachelor parties are not appropriate. Lewd or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.

  • Rates depend on date, location, frequency, and any special circumstances.
