Shani is a consummate professional and has a crew that compliments her talents perfectly. From the time of booking, her consistent communication made it a breeze to coordinate with multiple vendors and she was able to provide the enablement of collaboration with the other entertainment of the night. So many challenges of a private space when it came to safety to ensure all guests had a comfortable and enjoyable experience, but Shani gave guidance that made the proactive set up easy. Very punctual and I look forward to working with her and her crew again!

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.
