Shalimar the Elegant Bellydancer, Performer and Teacher

Shalimar made my event a success! She’s a fantastic performer and easy to work with. I would absolutely hire her again.

Good performance, good music selection especially curated for the crowd and occasion, shows the professionalism and thoughtfulness in preparation. Very good pre, on the day and post communication. All around good

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Shalimar to at a few Last Fridays in Hillsborough, NC now, and each time has been such a pleasure! She’s collaborative, easy to work with, always brings great energy, and her crowd-work is impressive. Thank you, Shalimar! High kiddos and recommendation from us!

I was just looking to do something a little different for my friend’s 84th birthday, but Shalimar gave a performance for the ages! She had the whole party dancing, laughing, waving streamers and trying our best to imitate all her amazing moves. The birthday boy was up on his feet making moves I didn’t know he was capable of any more. I highly recommend Shalimar. She was prepared, professional, wickedly funny and an accomplished performer. If I could, I’d give her 10 stars!!

Shalimar and company showed OUT for Last Fridays & the Art Walk in Hillsborough! So professional and easy work with. The dancers were tasked with sidewalk performing and interacting organically with the public to help us kick-off the town's 2023 event series. They did just that, handled it with so much grace, integrated seamlessly, and were enjoyed by all ages. Would absolutely recommend and have again. Thank you, Shalimar!!

Shalimar brings the fun with her vibrant smile and energy! With our lesson, she helped me enjoy myself and feel graceful. I learned so much and I can't wait to watch her perform again or take lessons!

Shalimar arrived on time and was very professional. She was a joy to work with!! She had such a positive attitude and bright shinning aura. She did an amazing job interacting with the crowd. She got everyone involved and my guests LOVED that!! She took the time to take photos will all the guests requesting them. She worked closely with me (the planner) to make sure the timeline was perfect. She came extra prepared with an ipad with her music on it in case the DJ did not have it. Shalimar is amazing all the way around! Love her!

We enthusiastically recommend Shalimar! She's a wonderful dancer with grace, beauty and charm. The guests were delighted and we had a memorable event.

Shalimar is a passionate dancer! I have invited her to one of the events that I have organized in Palto Alto, California. The audience was hypnotized by her delicacy when dancing and her smile.
I can also say that she is very professional, dedicated and great person.

Shalimar is a fantastic dancer!

I've worked with Shalimar many times between 2013 and 2021. I have personally hired her to dance, for events that range from significant community stage shows to small family-style parties, and even a few business events! She's amazing to watch in any size venue from your living room to a grand stage.

Shalimar is quite versatile in her dance knowledge, her mix of available performance music, and her beautiful wardrobe. I really enjoyed working with Shalimar to hone her presentations to fit the taste and style of each event.

When she arrives at your event, you will meet a tall, statuesque blonde, with a mega-watt smile in a dynamite costume. Shalimar is a consummate professional entertainer who always brings her high energy and enthusiasm to your performance. Her focus on the happiness of your guests and her engaging smile will help make your event memorable for everyone who attends.

Shalimar is so lovely and dependable that I hired her as a model to work on several belly dance books including "The Cloth of Egypt" and "Zills, Music on Your Fingertips." You can spot the Elegant Shalimar in "The Cloth of Egypt" on pages 139, 149, 166, and many more. Both of these books are available on Amazon.

But don't take my word for her skills. Visit Shalimar's YouTube channel to see her in action. https://www.youtube.com/ShalimarBellydancer

I am a professional musician and lighting expert for events and I love the opportunity to perform with Shalimar. She is a team player and works to be part of the event success with her glowing smile and golden energy that lifts every heart in the room as she dances. I look forward to performing again with Shalimar.

I am an organizer of bellydancers to staff several restaurants and venues and I selected Shalimar for my team because she is a gorgeous professional dancer who seeks to bring delight to every client. Shalimar was punctual with all communication and attendance at events and she cultivates her shows to meet the needs of the event. I would definitely hire Shalimar again.
