I am a bellydancer in the Middle Eastern and Greek style. Contact me and let's talk about it!
She was very personable, on time and she performed beautifully. Everyone enjoyed the evening
Response from Fotia-The Greek Bonfire:
Thank you, Ciro. I truly enjoyed everything.
Fotia did a great job for a party I hosted. On time, easy to communicate with, and a fun dance.
Response from Fotia-The Greek Bonfire:
Thank you, Watty! I had a great time and was glad to be part of it!
Fotia was great! She responded in a very timely manner during the weeks I contacted her prior to the party to make sure we were on the same page with our plans and she came early on the day of the event because another entertainer got sick on the day of the performance and she gave a wonderful performance that all our guests loved. She also stayed after her performance to allow everyone to get photos with her as well. Wonderful person , easy to work with, a true professional who made our party a great hit with everyone.
We had engaged Fotia for a 50th bday event. Unfortunately she fell ill almost as soon as the show started so we couldn’t see her perform. She was gracious and professional to refund the entire amount
Response from Fotia-The Greek Bonfire:
Thank you and my regrets.
Great performance and personality. She really made our event fun
Response from Fotia-The Greek Bonfire:
Thank you! I totally enjoyed performing for and with your dad and your whole family.
Our dancer was the hit of the 80th birthday. Fun entertainment for all. A great surprise.
Response from Fotia-The Greek Bonfire:
Thank you! I enjoyed being a part of this party very much!
She was really good I enjoyed her
Response from Fotia-The Greek Bonfire:
I am so happy to have been part of Sharon’s birthday celebration. They’re a great group of women.
Fotia is a great performer
My entertainment agency is often called upon for top quality entertainment for many different upscale events, fancy Middle Eastern weddings and American corporate theme parties. Even though I’m happily settled in my dream home along coastal South Jersey (my hometown), I did spend a couple of years living and working in beautiful Lake Forest, IL. My company provides talent with an Arab centric perspective and hiring Fotia, was a no brainer for the Soraya Agency. I contacted Fotia to “sub” for me for a special client at a beloved Gold Coast hotel in Chicago as I was unavailable that particular night.
My clients were delighted with my choice. As a professional belly dancer myself, meticulous event planner and entertainment booking agent, I highly recommend Fotia for your next event. She has a wonderful sense of musicality, and beautiful costumes. You will not regret your decision. If you ever require an awesome belly dancer in the Chicagoland area, look no further!”
Fotia following thru and her communication was excellent from start to finish. Her manner was professional yet warm and accommodating. We were very happy with her performance!
Response from Fotia-The Greek Bonfire:
Alice, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and dancing for your dad!

I love to interact with the audience. I am also available to talk about costuming, should you have a preference, always in a tasteful style.
I have performed at many events, including birthday parties, bachelorette parties, small weddings, retirement parties and benefits, but absolutely no bachelor parties. My venue is family oriented; in fact, children are the most fun to dance with!
Please review my website for a full testimonial from Soraya of New Jersey, international bellydance star, who is also my mentor and very good friend.
I always work with a written contract.

I dance mostly to preprogrammed CDs, but I have also danced with a live drummer.
I am partial to most of the old school and vintage dancers, I love the classic Arabic dancers and I also love bellydancing to Greek music.
I generally use my laptop, my phone or ipad.
