Claudia

Claudia provides clear, timely and easy communication with clients. With an approachable and friendly energy, you can be sure that the booking process will be seamless.

Claudia’s presentation typically lasts anywhere from 15-30 mins., depending on the event. Her presentation includes high-end costuming made in the Middle East, and professional hair and makeup. Her shows often incorporate props to add that extra ‘wow’ factor, as well as audience participation (especially when there are guests of honour, such as a bride/groom).

Lastly, because every event is unique, Claudia customizes her show to suit your event needs (eg. music or prop selection may be based on a particular culture). Where needed she can provide clients with guidance or suggestions to create a show that will be sure to dazzle!
