Danelle was the BEST! Day two and everyone is still talking about her. Beautiful, sweet, and wow can she move! Thank you Danelle!
Response from Danelle Nayira:
Thank you for your kind words Vickie!
It was such a pleasure to perform for the birthday guy! He is such a bright light!
Cheers!
Danelle
They were the best!!!! Everyone was having such a wonderful time. Very interactive with everyone. Was told this was the best entertainment we have had in 33 years.
I would recommend her she was very good and on time. She kept everyone entertained.
First, she was 30 mins late, however, the biggest disappointment was we paid for a half hour but she only danced for 10-15 at the most. The birthday boy enjoyed it though.
Response from Danelle Nayira:
You are right. I fell short for this gig.
I had a lot going on and I tried to put too much on my plate on a Wednesday. I should have left earlier to beat traffic and although I did let you know I was running behind, it was no fault but my own. I have never performed a belly dance gig at a small deli/gas station and it was a very tight environment. A place that I found difficult to move around. I am glad the birthday boy enjoyed himself but If you feel that disappointed with the experience I am willing to refund you $100. You have my number you can send me your PayPal or venmo. Above all that, I do sincerely apologize.
Danelle did a fantastic job - the highlight for the 93 year old birthday boy! Beautiful dancer, even got others at the event - kids included - into the dance. Well done!
we had a great time, she was eligant and full of energy .
Danielle was friendly, prompt, communicative and very willing to mold her performance around the event. It was a wonderful birthday present for my son. She gets five stars!
Danelle was wonderful. She arrived in time. Was very friendly and professional. She dances beautifully. She was able to engage the guests in the performance. There were several little girls there who were very intrigued with her and she was really sweet with them. She even encouraged them to dance with her. The youngest one (2 yr old) even cried when she left.
Danelle is very talented and fun
She kept us engaged
She is also a very classy performer as we had family from ages 8 to 70
I would strongly recommend her
Response from Danelle Nayira:
I appreciate your review Scott! It was an honor to be a part of your event!
Danelle was amazing!!!! She made the party so much fun!!! Everyone enjoyed it!!!! However when I booked the event, the confirmation says that the belly dancer will dance for 2 hours, from 7-9pm, Danelle danced only for 35 minutes and left, the website was very misleading, I’m so disappointed!!!
Danelle is a beautiful dancer ,skilled and artistic. She gave an amazing performance with light up wings and balancing of a sword. She let us ask questions and gave us a quick lesson. Lovely performance ...would book her again!!
Danelle was hired to entertain my guests at my Brother’s surprise 50th birthday party and she did not disappoint! She wowed the crowd with her dancing, interacted with my guests and was the highlight of the party!
Danelle is very professional. We all had a good time
Danelle was on time and sweet. She was fun and made our event very special. She has great dancing abilities. Thanks
Danelle was the highlight of the party..Her performance was very entertaining and enjoyable to watch. She was so kind to fit me in her busy schedule and enjoyable to talk to. I would definitely recommend her for other events in the future.
She did an amazing job at my friends bachelorette party!! Wonderful to work with!!
Danelle was just what we had hoped for - she was talented, came prepared, and encouraged participation by the teenagers in attendance. She performed solo for a while, and then brought kids onto the floor with her. They had a blast, and definitely are sharing stories at school today! Thank you, Danelle.
Price Range: $300-1000
