FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Bellydancers in NYC all charge about the same price. We spend an absolute fortune on costumes, classes, makeup, shoes, props and transportation. We understand that our quotes seem high sometimes but there is a reason for it! There aren’t many bellydancers who take extensive amounts of time this art and we take a lot of pride in what we do.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I’m very easy. I let them know what I generally do and offer a selection of different props that they would like me to use. I also ask about the theme of the event so I can dress accordingly.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve taken many workshops/classes from master teachers from Egypt and all over the world. Even though I’m a professional, I never stop taking classes.
