Thought it could have been a longer show!! Under impression it was a 45 minute performance! More like a half hour of dance!
With tips given was expensive!
Response from Alashiya:
Hello Aurora, I loved dancing for your husband’s 90th birthday. Thank you for the review. I’ve looked over our correspondence and must apologize that I did not clarify for you the standard timing for these shows after you booked me. Nearly all dancers perform between 20-30 min per show. It’s a LOT of dancing and we want to make sure your guests are entertained and can enjoy the party. 45 minutes of dancing is a very long time to dance for and, frankly, a long time for guests to watch. Dancers spend years learning the art form and spend a lot of money on lessons, costumes, props and more. Our rates reflect the experience, time, prep, choreography prep and travel for each gig we agree to. I did receive compliments from many of your friends and family after the show. It sounds like everyone enjoyed it and I loved getting to dance for the birthday boy! Thank you for inviting me to celebrate with you.
Alyashiya was amazing! Very talented belly dance and my guest enjoyed every minute.
Response from Alashiya:
This was such a fun event and I appreciate being able to join for a bit after my show! You put together a very beautiful and well organized party for family and friends. And please share with the DJ how exceptional he was, and I appreciate all his help. Wishing you and your husband many happy years together. Thanks for booking me!
So glad we booked Alashiya for our birthday event! She was on time, very professional, easy to communicate with and her performance was absolutely amazing! She really did a great job engaging the crowd and made everyone want to get up and dance!

Thank you Lyn! It was a pleasure to perform for you and your family! Let me know if I can help out again. Your daughter did such a wonderful job as a backup dancer! Happy to dance with her anytime!
Alashiya was fantastic! I couldn’t have asked for a better entertainer. I requested her services for a bachelorette party held at a house and she saved the party! I recommend her for any event!
Response from Alashiya:

Response from Alashiya:
Thank you, Paula! It was a wonderful party! Thank you for booking me.
Alashiya is a superb entertainer. We hired her for a family event. She showed up on time and worked with our DJ on the music. We had some technical difficulties (wrt music format), but Alashiya was very patient and waited till the DJ resolved the issue.
Of course, Alashiya is a great belly dancer. She did acts with number of different props, including her sword. The audience cheered on. She also got the audience involved in dancing with her, which was really awesome.
After the event, Alashiya hung out with us briefly, which was very nice of her, since the audience wanted to take pictures with her. Hence, I said above that she is a great entertainer beyond just being a belly dancer.
Response from Alashiya:
Your friends and family were so warm and lovely. I enjoyed meeting everyone afterward. Thank you for inviting me to stay and party with everyone!
I booked this young lady for a b day party.
Everyone had a blast she was so sweet, and very professional.
Thank you for making our party a success.
Will definitely recommend her and book her in the future as well.
I received a few bids for my husband's surprise 60th, and I knew from the moment she responded she would be hired!! Extremely professional, wonderful personality, excellent entertainment and an amazing dancer!! No regrets and I would definitely hire again and refer her for your event!!!
I have hesitated at first because this was my first time using www.gigsalad.com but it has been the great experience thanks to Alashiya. She was easy to communicate, arrived at promised time, had an outstanding performance and everyone loved.
Thank you for making this party one of the best.....
Alyashiya was enjoyable,
She performed her dance routine well and was also interesting to talk to.
I would recommend her to anyone.

I've been a dancer my entire life, beginning at age 3. As an adult, I began studying belly dance with the famous Serena Wilson at her studio in NYC. Recognized for my abilities, I was hand picked by her proteges to begin performing at a local restaurant with a live band.
Since 2011, I worked with and dance for Johara and Snake Dance Theater - a troupe that performed regularly at festivals, events and an annual stage performance in Cambridge, MA. After two years, I began co-directing the dance company and choreographing pieces for our shows.
Now I dance for restaurants around New England and enjoy performing for private events.
