Full Service for More Than the Reception
I offer reliable,
professional services for the wedding celebration, as well as the entire
suite of pre-wedding events: engagement
party, shower, bachelorette
party,
and rehearsal dinner. (Sorry, no bachelor parties!)
Every aspect of my performance is customized
for your celebration, from the music to costuming that harmonizes with
the wedding colors.
Never a Wedding Mark-Up!
As a recent bride myself, I was often charged
higher prices simply because I was planning a wedding. I am proud to
offer you the exact same price as any other private
party.
But because I understand a wedding’s special needs, I also offer a premium
package that caters to a wedding's uncertain schedule - not to mention
the rising stress levels that brides
face. And it still costs less than most couples pay for just the invitations!
 Belly Dance Services for Your Wedding
Engagement Party
Kick off your wedding celebrations with the sparkle and excitement that
only a belly dancer can provide. Consider a "bellygram" for at-home parties,
or a full-length show for more formal, seated affairs.
Ice-Breakers and Wedding Party Bonding
Looking for a way to help your bridesmaids and mothers-in-law get to know
each other? Belly dance, in its most traditional form, is done by women,
for women only. Learning to belly dance is
a wonderful way for new acquaintances to break the ice, or for old
friends to share some quality "girl time" before the big day.
Book a performance/lesson package, or visit my
teaching page for more information on semi-private
lessons for small groups.
Get Fit for Your Wedding Gown
Belly dance is fun and feminine exercise. You can tone your arms, abs, and
lower body, and feel gorgeous doing it! Visit my teaching page for more information
on my group classes and private lessons. Discounts are available
for small groups, so bring your bridal party, your mom, or other female friends!
Bridal Shower
Had enough of fussy bridal showers with boring
parlor games? Whether you're looking for a goddess-style blessing or an exciting
way to kick off the party, a belly dance performance is fun and unique shower
entertainment! A "bellygram" is a great
choice for parties at home, while a full-length show is
best for parties with formal seating. Or book a performance/lesson
package, and let
the guests join in on the fun!
Looking one-stop planning help? I can provide:
- an hour of entertainment (performance, lesson,
time for photos)
- a sparkle station with Eye Kandy cosmetic glitter (contact lens-safe!)
- party favors and door
prizes
You provide the venue, food and beverages, and, of course, the bride!
Bachelorette Party
Whether you're planning a slumber party or a wild girls' night out, a performance/lesson
package is a great way to get the party started. Have fun with your
girlfriends while you learn classic belly dance moves you can take to the
dance floor. I can provide:
- Hip scarves for the guests, to help show off your new moves on the dance
floor. The bride's hip scarf is my treat!
- Middle Eastern pop music that will keep you dancing into the night
- Party favors and door prizes
Rehearsal Dinner
You've spent months planning your wedding, and the big day is almost
here. Sit back, relax, and kick off the festivities with an exciting belly
dance performance at the rehearsal dinner. Choose a "bellygram" or
a full-length show.
Wedding Day Entertainment
Bring the sparkle and excitement of belly dance to your wedding day. My
flowing veils, glittering costumes, and infectious smile will get your guests
into a party mood!
A belly dance performance is a wonderful
way to honor the bride and groom and show hospitality to your guests. Consider
having me perform:
- While you have your photos taken
- During the cocktail hour
- To kick off the reception
- At the end of the night, to help you exit in style!
Choose a "bellygram" or a full-length
performance at my
standard party rates (no wedding mark-up!), or
my premium wedding package, which caters to a wedding's unique needs and
uncertain schedule, but still costs less than most wedding expenses!
I offer several performance packages, as well as a variety of optional
add-ons. Starting prices are listed below, but rates will vary depending
on the location, show length, number of dancers, total time on site,
time of day, travel distance, and how far in advance you book. Please contact
Nadira for a quote.
Nadira will customize each performance to your event to provide the
most enjoyable entertainment for your guests. If you don't see what you
are looking for in the packages below, or if you have any special requests,
