We hired Johanna Michelle Dance for our corporate holiday party. All 3 ladies were professional, easy to work with and their dancing was mesmerizing. Everyone at the party was talking about their performance the rest of the night. I highly recommend them for any party or event.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a breathtaking dance performance by Johanna and her team at an outdoor birthday party and I can confidently say it was the highlight of the evening. All the guests were highly impressed and entertained with her and the other two dancers' skill, grace, and professionalism.
Johanna's performance was nothing short of mesmerizing. Her movements were fluid and precise, showcasing a deep understanding of her craft. The synchronization between her and the other dancers was impeccable, reflecting countless hours of practice and a shared passion for dance.
The performance captivated everyone present, leaving us all in awe of their talent and inspired to join in! Johanna's ability to connect with the audience and convey emotion through her dance was truly remarkable - all the guests had great fun!
In summary, Johanna and her team delivered an extraordinary performance that left a lasting impression on all of us. Their exceptional skill, grace, and professionalism are commendable. I highly recommend experiencing a performance by Johanna—you will not be disappointed.
Johanna performed for my husbands 50th birthday gathering and her appearance was a total surprise for him and my guests. She’s so graceful and beautiful and everyone loved her dancing!

Response from Johanna Michelle Dance:
Thank you so much for having me; your residents were an absolute delight to dance with! Hope to see them again soon!
Johanna was unfortunately sick the day of our event but she found a colleague to perform in her place who was wonderful!! It was so nice of Johanna to go the extra length to find another dancer and she was very communicative. I hope we can hire her again to see her perform (but if she’s anything like Nicole who performed for us she is surely a star!)

Johanna is a wonderful dancer and a gorgeous lady! She was very professional and came on time. She entertained us all with her beautiful moves. One performance with the Iris wings and another with her sword. She was also very easy to work with and soft spoken.
I would recommend her.
Thanks!

Influences & Inspiration
I've been influenced by so many great, iconic belly dancers such as Samia Gamal, Tahia Carioca, Souheir Zaki, Dina, and Shahrzad. I love classic cabaret belly dance and all of the elegant entertainment it gives. My main inspiration is the charm and excitement of the current bellydancers in Egypt.
