A Performance for Every Occasion
From the elegance of belly dance to dazzling performance with fire, I perform a number of styles to match your event's theme and aesthetic.
Elegant & Timeless
Classical Belly Dance
Classical belly dance brings sophisticated, graceful artistry to your event. Perfect for weddings, intimate gatherings, restaurant entertainment and cultural celebrations, this style features the flowing movements, shimmering costumes and mesmerizing techniques that belly dance is known for.
A sample set might include an entrance, slow section, prop balancing, a drum solo dance, a tip dance and a finale.
I perform this style and incorporate music with deep reverence and appreciation for the MENAHT (Middle Eastern, North African, Hellenic, Turkish) cultures from which it originates.
Ideal for: Weddings, anniversary celebrations, dinner parties, restaurant residencies, cultural events
Bold, Varied & Contemporary
Fusion Belly Dance
An experience like no other. Fusion belly dance blends the fundamental techniques of belly dance with alternative aesthetics. Drawing on my extensive training with Zoe Jakes (founding member of Beats Antique), I create performances that are thrilling, theatrical and utterly captivating.
When fusing styles, the possibilities are endless. Here are the approaches I most lean toward.
Modern
Can include electronic/bass music, a darker aesthetic and a more intense, mysterious experience. Popular with younger audiences who love to feel the music.
Burlesque
Burlesque with a glamorous jazz or cabaret influence. Think big feather fans and dazzling showgirl costumes with opulent jewelry and accessories. (My outfits are more revealing, but not pasties and g-string revealing. See the photo gallery for examples.)
Vintage/Retro
I also combine belly dance with jazz and cabaret-style acts with an old-timey theatre aesthetic—a popular style for events.
Ideal for: Festivals, art galleries, alternative weddings, concerts, theatrical events, creative productions
Enchanting & Unforgettable
Fire Performance
Fire dance creates magical moments your guests will never forget. Using dragon staff, fire poi, fire fans and other mesmerizing fire props, I combine the artistry of dance with the primal beauty of flame.
Fire performance is breathtaking at both indoor and outdoor venues, evening events and celebrations where you want to create a truly spectacular focal point. I work with both large-scale props for dramatic outdoor performances and smaller fire props that are suitable for indoor venues and intimate settings.
I am fully insured and bring all necessary safety equipment and expertise to ensure stunning, safe performances.
Ideal for: Outdoor weddings, festivals, corporate events, summer celebrations, beachside gatherings, vineyard events
