Response from Amartia The Greek Bellydance Bombshell!:
Thank you so much for your kind words Ann! It was my pleasure to be the dancer for your event. It was simply stunning! I loved the outfits, the decor, all of it. You were a very welcoming and inviting hostess!
Amartia performance was fantastic. Everyone at the event has a fun and memorable experience. Thanks Amartia.
Amartia was amazing...my guests (who were various ages) were all enchanted not only Amartia's skill, but by her professionalism and beauty that came from the inside out! She easily worked with the weird dynamics of dinner (that was delayed!) and a small setting, spinning her charm around our dinner table. She was extremely tasteful AND still sensual...clearly a master at her art. This truly made my husband's 40th birthday a special evening to remember. AND, it was a wonderful treat to have her arrive early, just to be prepared, and be flexible with the setting, seating, etc.
Response from Amartia The Greek Bellydance Bombshell!:
Thank you so much for having me. You were a great hostess- so kind and considerate. I thoroughly enjoyed entertaining your guests and I am glad that they had a great time!
So happy he had a great 40th birthday!
She did a great job!
Response from Amartia The Greek Bellydance Bombshell!:
Thank you so much for the review! I had so much fun dancing with you all. Have a great new year and I hope to entertain you again.
Party is on 20th not 13th! The date was changed from the 13th to the 20th everyone seems to be on track but you!
Response from Amartia The Greek Bellydance Bombshell!:
Hi Deidre,
Yes, Gigsalad keeps saying the date was the 13th but don't worry, I'll be there this coming Saturday. This review is for my services though, not for Gigsalad. You may have to send them a separate email.
I hired Amartia for a 40th Birthday Party. She was a complete professional that guided me in the best way to highlight the entertainment. Her performance was tasteful, enjoyable and authentic. All of my guests were impressed. I would definitely refer her to others as well as invite her back for other functions.
Amartia is an amazing performer. I worked with her recently and I was blown away by the way she combined talent, commitment and professionalism. I would def recommend her for your next party or event.
I have known Amartia as a consummate professional and dedicated to this art form. She brings her Greek background to her performances, lending authenticity and knowledge of rhythms and phrasing to the technical side. Her performances are vibrant and she invites audience members to get involved. I highly recommend her for your event!
We have had the pleasure of seeking Amartia over the past three years at Art of the Belly. She is absolutely captivating and breathes new life and fresh perspectives to her traditional styles. Pushing the envelope in both artistry and costuming, Amartia is a true joy to experience!
We have also been fortunate enough to have Amartia as a long time, repeat customer for our photography studio. She is always extremely professional and arrives at every shoot well prepared and with new ideas.

Talented, responsive and appropriate!!! Amartia was entertaining and created a joyful and exotic experience for my daughters bachelorette dinner party. I look forward to the next event that I need someone special to make the party pop, just so I can enjoy her dancing again!
I booked Amartia as a headliner for my monthly bellydance event. When she dances you can tell the joy she feels in sharing this dance, and her years of experience both on stage and in a restaurants. Amartia entranced our audience, while also handling technical issues with our CD player with humor and grace.
I have also purchased several gently used costumes from her, so I can attest to their quality, too.
Amartia brought a sense of class and took the event from average to high class. She style of bellydance was enjoyed by all and inspired many people (men & women) to join her on the dance. There was never a dull moment. I'm highly recommending her for all future events.
I have the pleasure of being Amartia's stylist (makeup) for many a photo shoot and performances. Being up close and personal with Amartia over the years, I've come to know how dedicated she is to continually "upping her own ante" to provide the most professional, original, and skillful entertainment around. Paying attention to her own personal details gives her the freedom and the joy to pay equal attention to her audiences and her clients. When you hire Amartia, you'll get a true, professional artist who will go beyond your expectations, every time.
Amartia has been performing for us over 2 year with never a complain. She is very good to judge the occasion and perform accordingly. She is supper good with small kids and keeping everyone entertained. If you need a rocking event definetely have her perform. It will be an event to remember.
I have seen Amartia a few times at the local restaurant (Bombay Nights) and she has never disappointed. She interacts with anyone who is willing, the kids just love her, and she seems to really know her stuff. I personally love her Zills (had to ask to know), and I've seen her let the kids try them and play along. I would highly recommend for any event.
Amartia was great! From the point of first contact until the date of performance, she was professional and courteous. The day of the performance came and she was prompt with arrival. The birthday boy and my guests loved her. The surprise went great! I was very pleased!!
Amartia is an extremely talented and professional performer. I hired her to perform at a dinner party, which turned out be a great move! My friends were surprised and delighted by Amartia's performance, which had just the right amount of sass and audience interaction. I highly recommend Amartia!
I had to give my husband a surprise B'day party and everything was on short notice- 2 days. Amartia accepted to perform and her performance was just great. Will certainly recommend for any event.
Thanks Amartia
I have both watched with much excitement as an audience member, and also had the honor of taking classes from Amarita! She is amazing, and her customes are breath taking!!!!!!!!
My family had a birthday party for my 77 year old father in June 2011. We had 32 people ranging from 21-80 years of age. We called Amartia to entertain our guests and family members. She was magnificent. She came in on time, she was dressed beautifully, she had her music, she was friendly and comfortable. Amartia performed 2 sets of dance routines with amazing grace and splendor. Amartia is very engaging, inviting our guests to join her in her wonderful dance, and many did. We traveled to Egypt and saw many professional belly dancers, Amartia was on par with all of them. Everyone had a good time. We would never hesitate to invite her again.
Amartia did a fantastic job at a community event for us. She was absolutely hypnotising. She was professional and very knowledgeable about her trade!
I saw Amartia dance at the Celebration of Cultures event at the Bel Air Armory. She was absolutely mesmerizing! When she began dancing, everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and watched her intently. Amartia shows incredible passion and talent in her dancing. Additionally, her costumes are beautiful and her music is perfect. They help to set the mood and draw the viewer into her hypnotic and creative performance. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Hire Amartia and you will not be disappointed. She is absolutely first class!

Amartia has lived in Baltimore her entire life. She is a Baltimore native of Greek descent, so she not only relates to the urban vibe of the city but to her Greek half as well.
Between her Greek heritage and her vast experience with live audiences in Baltimore, entertainment is her middle name! Amartia is not just a talented dancer but a great performer as well. She has an original blend of cuteness and humor that has allowed her to relate to all audiences. Whether Ethnic or American, Amartia’s smile and energy is contagious, “..You look like you’re having a blast..” (audience member)
Amartia has dazzled guests with her energetic dancing at weddings and her reckless abandon losing herself in Greek music. Greek music speaks to her soul and always brings out her inner OPA! She is able to incorporate traditional folk steps into her more modern movements; so no matter the age range of the audience, they can relate. She is also able to participate in the line dances, which as anyone knows, is a KEY part of any Greek celebration.
Amartia is a consummate professional. She continues to hone her craft in order to be the best dancer she can be. No matter where she performs, her urban Greek Baltimore vibe goes with her.
