Rogelio and Shanni were absolutely the most fantastic addition to my husband's 75th birthday party. Shanni is a stunning dancer who added a sense of exotic adventure to the evening. The highlight of her act was a cake with luminous candles balanced on top of her head. Needless to say, my husband was highly pleased.

Shani rocked my event with an elegant and electric performance. She engaged the guests and created a wonderful memory. And what elevated is her openness to perform to Bollywood songs and surprised us with great Bollywood moves. Thank you Shani for creating a great memory for all of us.

I started looking for a belly dancer about a month before my big 60th birthday Bollywood themed party. I really wanted to find a great dancer, as well as somebody special that I could connect with . I spoke to several different dancers and even met a few, but I just wasnt finding the right connection . As soon as I saw the pictures of Shani, I just had a feeling that she was the complete package. We had a wonderful conversation on the phone and I had no need to meet her because I knew that she was going to add Magic to my party.We planned the night out really well where Shani would come in and surprise the guests. She worked so well with the timing and knew exactly when to come in. Oh my God, she is absolutely amazing, the most incredible belly dancer, and how she engaged with the guest was magical!Every single person at the party asked me how lucky I was to meet such an incredible performer and authentically amazing woman! We all had an incredible time. If youre looking for a belly dancer and you stumble upon Shanis ad, you do not need to look any further -Hire her as soon as possible!

Shani is just so much fun to watch perform. She has this magical way of integrating the audience into her performances. She is a beautiful dancer and she makes you feel so special and welcome when she dances.When she performs with a dance troupe, she shines and makes sure everyone has their special moments.
