Nehir Oriental Belly Dance

Be prepared for an energetic, engaging, and elegant performance which is both exotic and sensual, yet always family friendly. With rhythm and grace Nehir will share her gift of dance with you and your guests, and perhaps even get some of the brave spirits up shimmying with her.
Choose a performance, a lesson, or a package with both. There are so many options for a memorable event.
There are a variety of props you can choose from including fire sword, zill, silk veil, vintage feather fans, glass goblets, etc. (provided they are safe for the venue).
Music will be edited to fit the personality of the guest of honor, and mood of the evening.
She has a wide variety of professional, one of a kind costumes. Most from the much loved designer Bella of Istanbul.
Each performance is carefully planed from music, props, costume, and more. If you have a special idea, please let her know. If you want some ideas to make a great surprise for someone special, she is experienced and creative, and can help you plan.
Trust a true professional oriental belly dancer such as Nehir to bring magic to your next event.

While living in Istanbul I was honored to perform nightly at the beautiful and historic Hodjapasha hamam theater, and had the privilege of using the 500yr old brick dome to teach workshops and private lessons. I could also be seen on various Bosphorous dinner cruises, as well as numerous up-scale restaurants and hotels throughout the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. Weddings and private parties were among my favorite shows; the Turks know how to enjoy a party, and were never too shy to get up and sing or dance when invited. Turks are also wonderful tippers, which really adds a nice element of interaction and fun. The wonderful musicians of Turkey will also be greatly missed, but forever in my heart and hips. Some other exciting performances included a concert with Dolapderi Big Band, a music video with May Day, opening for Asena at Kavansari, the morning show with Pitek and Alişan, Şarkafilek (Wheel of Fortune), and being the only dance artist to ever be welcomed and perform on Tek Rumeli TV for the Faruk Yildiz show. Istanbul also gave me my first taste of trick horse riding, and I am eager for more!
I am currently in Pittsburgh PA, and making trips to NYC and Toronto, Canada for performances. I have danced in 30+ countries, and am always ready to perform and teach around the world! Please ask for my international workshop and performance rates.

It is nice to have a quality sound system. Please let me know if any cables are needed to connect to my music.

There are a variety of musicians I can bring upon request, from traditional Turkish darbuka (drum), classic oriental, or beatbox fusion.

For small parties, I can provide speakers upon request.

Props such as fire sword, feather fans, and fan veils are not suitable for small performance areas, and are much better for indoor stage shows.
