Emily Marie was a lot of fun! She performed for everyone even my daughters that where on zoom that couldn’t make it to the party. She also got everyone involved and up and dancing. I have told everyone I know how great she was so if they are looking for something different for a party they should have Emily Marie come and perform.

She is one of the best in the area. She has a superb personality, her energy is fierce, she is one of the best performers you will find in the USA. We have seen Emily perform a few times and were so happy each time. She also won our Chicago BellyDance Queen competition, so there ya go. She won't disappoint.

Emily is a fantastic entertainer. She’s punctual, very kind, & communicative with her clients before & after the event.
Her dances mesmerize the audience. Emily not only included her audience in the show, but she also took the time to teach willing participants different moves.
It was a pleasure having her at our event.
Our friends and family are still talking about about Emily’s performance.
Thank you Emily for making our event over the top.

We had a surprise 75th Birthday party for my husband. I wanted to surprise him with something that he’s never experienced in his life. Emily was wonderful, her dancing was beautiful, graceful and very family friendly. She took the time to interact with all the guest including my little grandchildren. This party will be a memorable one for all of our Guest some of which this was their first occasion to get out of their homes in months. My husband will remember this for the rest of his life!
Emily, thank you again!

Thank you!
Emily Marie performed at our 50th birthday party in our home last night and if you are looking for a class act she is your performer. From the moment I contacted her on GigSalad to the close of the party it was absolutely seamless. Emily was extremely prompt to give me a quote and she was displayed lighting speed to respond to calls and text. The performance was amazing, we had watched the videos she provides on her site and it didn’t even compare to the in-person entertainment she delivered. Her costumes make up and props were incredible and her professionalism was over the top to say the least. If anyone is looking for the BEST of the BEST belly dancer in the Tri state area, do not look any further. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!
Emily was phenomenal! Her performance was truly the highlight of my father’s 60th birthday event. She was very helpful planning out her performance and tailored it to exactly what we were looking for. We got so many comments that she was the best belly dancer lots of our guests had ever seen. She was so warm and fun and really interacted with all the guests. Highly recommended!

Lovely to see you and dance with your family :) thanks so much :)
I hired Emily Marie to perform as a belly dancer for an industry luncheon. I had not seen her perform before, and this a big event. She was outstanding. She kept in communication before the event, arrived early, brought her own music and her outfit was remarkable. Her dancing was professional, engaging and everyone was quite pleased. We will hire her again. I took a chance and am now very happy I did!

Thank you so much! Loved dancing with you.
Emily Marie was a pleasure to work with. I recently produced a festival in downtown Cincinnati and also had a pre-view show in Mason, OH in which she participated. Emily's beautiful dancing, fun spirit, and interactive performance wowed audiences and left them wanting more. Thank you Emily for sharing your passion with us, I know I'll be booking you again in the future, for sure!

Thank you :)
Emily put on an impressive show. She arrived early, and was completely prepared. She was patient and consistent even when people were coming in the door and moving around her. She behaved as though she had been there before. Emily didn't even skip a beat when someone in the crowd removed her sword. Although that person was not associated with our party, I was still embarrassed but Emily kept right on. I found out later that there was also a large drunk fellow, also not associated with the party, who followed her around and possibly groped her. Unfortunately, the venue was open to the public and we should have kicked him out. My apologies to her. The rest of the party who were invited were very impressed with their first belly dance performance and the women loved being part of the show. They are still talking about it a month later! A couple of the men in the crowd even remarked that they had never seen a belly dancer before and didn't know they wanted to but they rather enjoyed this show and are thankful we invited her.
