Stella was awesome! She was very professional the entire process and was so sweet to all our guests. We loved her routine and highly recommend her for your event. Thank you Stella!
We thoroughly enjoyed having Stella to our party. She was very entertaining and livened it all up and had everyone involved. Highly recommended.
We had an amazing time with Stella. She was so talented with the sword and wings and belly dancing. She got the whole party involved and we all had a blast. My wife from the Middle East really enjoyed this surprise! I would highly recommend her and would hire her for a special event again.
The dancing was beautiful and fun. A great surprise for my husbands 50th birthday!
amazing energy and a lot of fun!
Stella was very friendly and amazing, she performs the wing and sword dance so marvelous, all my guests were in awe and they all video-tape her performance. She also invited party members to come up and dance with her and we had so much fun. Thank you for a wonderful experience Stella!
Stella was awsome. On time and professional. We will definitely hire her again.
I had challenged Stella to do 2 different styles in the same event: Jazzy "LaLaLand" theme dance in addition to a traditional belly dancing performance ... and she did exactly that and entertained a corporate event guests for 30 minutes with perfect mix of the two, back to back, and a very nice costume along with a beautiful dance routine. She is truly a professional dancer and worthy of admiration and applaud. Highly recommended for future events.
I booked Stella for a mediteranean themed adult birthday party and she was the perfect endimg to a great night Stella was extremely professional, arrived on time, was very interactive with all the guests and performed flawlessly. She was very responsive during the planning process and great to work with.
Stella did an amazing job for my friends 21st B-day. She engaged the crowd, was friendly and had a great time! =)
Stella was great! Hired her for my husband's 40th birthday party! She belly danced, danced with a sword and did Samba! My husband's favorite was the sword dancing! She arrived on time, changed quickly, and was super sweet! Very professional! Thank you Stella!
She was great. Looked amazing and so much fun for everyone adults and kids. Would use her again
We had Stella dance at a 50th birthday party that had children and adults of all ages. Everyone raved about how fun the party was, especially Stella! Her dancing is exceptional and she was fully engaged with the audience. I highly recommend Stella for any event!
Stella was great to work with. The performance was outstanding and her costumes were beautiful. The guests were very impressed, she danced and took photos with some of the guests and even with the kids which was the highlight of their night. I thought that was very sweet. I highly recommend Stella.
I hired Stella for my wedding on 6.9.2013 and she was amazing! She did her thing and the crowd really enjoyed her! She doesn't just dance she performes! Loved having her at our wedding. I would definitely hire her again :)

we decided to hire Stella for my baby shower. I've hired dancers in the past, so I thought I knew what to expect. She blew us all away. She made a point of engaging the crowd, and got people up dancing. At one point I stopped to look to see if everyone was enjoying the performance, and I can't tell you how many cameras and cell phones were out to document her dancing. She arrived on time, was VERY professional, and easy to work with. People were even fighting over her business card after she left!! Definitely would hire her over and over again.
Stella and her 2 dancers were performed belly dancing at my outdoor wedding. I told her a few Arabic songs I wanted and she choreographed to those exact songs. I didn't have to worry about a thing. They had several seamless costume changes and the costumes were beautiful! My guests along with myself and my hubby were enchanted, excited and loving every minute of the performance. They invited my guests out to the dancefloor and got the party started.

Whether you choose Belly Dance or Samba, you are in for a show you and your guests will never forget. Belly dance shows generally include an opening with beautiful Gold or Hot Pink Goddess Wings or the mezmerizing Candleabra, an impressive drum solo, a dangerous sword balancing dance, a cute and fun cane dance, flowing silk veil work, a special birthday dance (if applicable) and of course songs to get people on their feet. Stella will make sure your guest of honor and friends are dancing and having the time of their lives. A short belly dance lesson can be included if desired. Shows and lessons can also be adapted for kids parties! Samba shows include authentic Brazilian music and feathered costuming-also sure get people dancing! Depending on the length of the show, you may have a little of both if you choose.
