Najla brought her Turkish Bellydance show for my BFF’s birthday celebration. The dances and costumes were fantastic. We had a group of about 14 and Najla interjected her tasteful and elegant dancing style amongst all of us. Our group likes to dance so she engaged our group with a Turkish line dance participation, it was so much fun! The Birthday Girl loved her entertainment and so did the guests. I would highly recommend Najla for any event you’d like to spice up, she’s a professional all around.

Her electrifying energy, graceful movements, and captivating performance enthralled the entire audience. Not only was Najla's dancing mesmerizing, but her approachable demeanor and easy communication made working with her a breeze. She effortlessly adapted to the crowd's vibe and requests, ensuring everyone had an unforgettable experience. Najla's flexibility and professionalism truly set her apart, and I wholeheartedly look forward to hiring her again for future events.

I hosted a Luau Pig roast for about 100 people at my home. Ages 1 year to 80 years old! Najla entertained for 1 hour. She was totally awesome! Very professional, excellent dancer and very beautiful. She involved the guests with dance lessons, gave out necklaces, and also did her own luau dancing. She was the hit of my party!! Everyone loved her, and talked about her all evening. The price is very reasonable! I will definitely have her entertain for my luau next year!!
Hawaiian Entertainment, Hula Dancer
Najla performed for my brother's 50th- we wanted a fun, artistic but sexy performer. Najla was just perfect! She was a delight to work with- flexible, clear and straightforward around details, and a truly artistic, talented and captivating performer. Najla engaged the guests and adapted to a mixed crowd. I would highly recommend her!
