Zaina arrived on time, she was very professional and really entertained our guests . She invited them to the dance floor and showed them moves. She was very pleasant and enthusiastic. She did 3 shows in an hour and 1/2. I will definitely hire her again.

Response from Zaina Zahra:
Thanks so much! It was a beautiful event and a pleasure to perform for You.
My contract stated that they were supposed to be at my locations at, 9:00 pm.
She did call stating she running late. She, didn't arrive to my house until 10:15. Some of my guests were begining to leave I persuaded some of them to stay.
The show was good however the 95 :minutes show also included costumes changes and preparing the setup which turned out be very at least a third of the 95 minutes signing up. I was very disappointed with that, but the actual performance was great.

Zaina was a surprise for my daughter's 50th birthday party. She arrived right on time and gave more than i expected. My daughter has planned to spend her birthday in Bali, but was forced to cancel due to Covid 19. The next best thing was to bring Bali to the neighborhood. Zaina did just that. Everyone was intrigued by her performace and her warm spirit. Thanks again.

I could not be happier with the decision to book Zaina to perform at my wife's Hawaiian themed 50th Birthday party celebration. The party was a multi age event attended by everyone from small children up through grandparents and Zaina did a fantastic job of connecting with all of them. Many of our guests commented that Zaina really "made the party". Zaina is a talented, professional, sweet and beautiful performer.

It was fun dancing with you, and it was an honor to perform for you! Thanks for having me, and for writing a review! Peace and blessings to you!
I hired her last minute for my wedding to dance for my new husband as his wedding gift. She had a prior job but was able to work me in to fit both schedules which I thought was pretty amazing. I spoke to her Several times on the phone, she was very informative and made me feel very comfortable and was very professional. She's an amazing dancer with a great spirit! I am from the Bahamas and I am sure my wedding party enjoyed her a lot. I would hire her again, so she definitely comes very highly recommended by me.

We hosted an Egyptian-themed afterparty during our World Natural Hair Show weekend and Zaina had everyone's attention. She was timely, professional, sweet and the crowd loved her. With Zaina, the theme of our event came to life and we will definitely hire her again.

From start to finish Ms. zainaraqs had our attention. I haven't seen a live solo show that well choreographed and put together like that in some time. From the music to the movements in which she danced we enjoyed every moment. She was very sweet & personable with the whole party after & during her performances. We mostly enjoyed it because it felt really genuine almost like you could feel her energy. She enjoyed being there and enjoyed dancing, and it showed through her performance. She interacted with the whole crowd and even got some of us involved which soon turned out to be a very memorable and funny moment for us all. She was worth every penny, and I'm glad we made that investment to book her, she will deff be booked in the near future for other events we do.

I hired Zaina for my daughter's Luau party. I am a very detail oriented person and my parties have to be near perfect. Zaina helped me achieve yet another successful party. Amazing costumes, great dancing and just a breath-taking personality. My daughter cried because she was so happy. I can't wait to work with Zaina again. You will not be disappointed. Truly an amazing dancer.

Thank you so much Trenise! Your parties are epic and I very much enjoyed this one! I look forward to future events :)
I recently I hired Zania Zahara for a private dinner in my home. She was amazing and helped put the evening over the top. My guests all loved her. She is beautiful and elegant. There is nothing common or vulgar about her. She is a delight. Her dancing is superb. I have seen many belly dancers all over the world so I can compare. Zaina is professional and easy to deal with and offered me many choices for music, costumes, etc. We will be posting a party video YouTube ken.ernhofer@gmail.com And her price is very fair . My advice is to call and book her!
