We had a great experience
Response from Alessandra:
This was such a fabulous birthday party! Great audience who got up and danced, sang, and drummed along with me. Loved the fun party vibe!
We invited Alessandra for a family event (birthday ) where she showed her wonderful belle dance performance. Guests had a great feedback, she is professional and understands how to work well with kids, adults at family events.
My daughter and her fiancé hired Alessandra for their Wedding celebration. She was so fun to watch. Everyone enjoyed it, even the children. My advice...Take photos of her, but also the reactions of the children. It’s totally priceless. ❤️
Outstanding performance! Very beautiful costume! We congratulate ourselves for the choice we made. It was the best moment of the party. Our gustes loved Alessandra! And she managed it great, she made her entrance smoothly, found the dance floor and worked great with a poor location (small room, small dance floor, no room to dress up). Believe me it's a great idea to have a belly dancer at your party. It's a very sensual entertaining moment.
Response from Alessandra:
Oana, thank you so much for your kind words and nice review I'm so happy to hear you were pleased with the performance. It was such a pleasure dancing for you and your guests. You were all such a fun group of people! I wish you and your husband a lifetime of love and happiness.
My husband and I had the opportunity to watch Alessandra dance at Harissa, and she is fantastic. She is beautiful and very graceful. Her isolations are impressive. Truly authentic and a true pleasure to watch. We loved it! Also, her costume was gorgeous!
I watched Alessandra dance at Harissa, a small Mediterranean restaurant. She was the last dancer of the night and absolutely stole the show. She was very professional and attentive to the crowd, while putting on an amazing performance. Her movements were so well timed and precise, I was very impressed with the control she had over her movements and body, plus her costume was amazing! A very beautiful and talented dancer, a thrill to watch perform.
I've seen her dance at a number of events in/around Seattle and I'm always impressed. She interacts with the audience and keeps them wanting more. Very entertaining and I highly recommend her for any event you might have coming up.
