FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For a standard 30 minute show, pricing starts at $300. Please note shorter performances will be less and more elaborate performances for weddings will be more (please contact me for exact quote) . *Please note travel fees may apply for events that are located an hour more + away. Please contact me for specifics. **Booking me for the rehearsal dinner/ bachelorette party AND reception? Contact me to hear about discounts available to you!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will determine what is the best form of contact for my client (email, phone, text) and we will create a customized performance that fits their requests/needs together. This includes length of performance, prop use- if there are requests or explanations needed (i.e. sword balancing, veil dancing, etc.), color of costume (if colors are to be coordinated with decor), and music selection (specifically if special requests are being made). I am always available to my clients for questions/updates etc., however please allow at least an hour for me to get back to you.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
29 years of dance training in Western and Middle Eastern dance. Continued dance training exclusively with Egyptian master instructors including Faten Salama, Essam Mounir, Raqia Hassan, Mohamed Shahin, Tito Seif, Mercedes Nieto and many more. 12 years performing as a belly dancer, over 100 private events completed (from birthday parties to weddings to baptisms).
