Erica

For intimate events I usually perform a belly dance show which starts with a veil entrance, a prop dance or drum solo, and audience participation featuring the guest of honor. After the performance, I'll take pictures with guests. (20 min)

For weddings or larger events, I will perform a belly dance show with multiple props and can include special request regional songs. The performance is concluded with a fun song that gets the crowd up and dancing! After the show, I'll take pictures with guests. (30 min)
