About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
What a delight to entertain with belly dance, fire performance, Hula & Tahitian dance, face painting and henna, and other artful and social interactions! From traditional to themed events, my goal is to bring excitement and fun to the party or event. I'm experienced with private, intimate parties as well as large community and corporate events. I'm also an instructor, dance studio owner, and troupe director, so if you need multiple performers, let me know! I'm happy to help you to make your vision a reality, and I can also help with creative ideas when desired. I'm a professional, highly trained, enthusiastic, and playful performing artist, happiest when I'm entertaining.
Options include (but are not limited to):
Belly Grams (birthdays, retirements, holiday parties, celebration for any reason or just for fun!)
Bachelorette Parties that include belly dance or burlesque instruction
Parties at my studio in Chattanooga or at your location (I travel!)

I love to meet people and will engage with everyone, encourage photos/video, and of course encourage dancing if that is part of the event.
I am eager to help you make your event amazing, and flexible and receptive to creative ideas.
I'm experienced with parties and events of all types, and want to make everything as easy and fun for everyone as possible.
I will make it easy for you, the event organizer, by taking care of details early, being flexible and adaptive, professional, and hard working!
My experience includes: lead belly dancer at Greek Night events (Portofino's in Chattanooga), performances at many other locations: restaurants, hookah bars, private homes, community events, churches, parties, theaters, clubs, and more. Whether you need a soloist or multiple dancers, contact me. I also enjoy performing to live music of any genre! Creative ideas welcomed.
I've performed at hundreds of exciting events solo and with my dance partners and troupes, including cultural events such as Sweet Diversity & Culture Fest in Chattanooga; fundraisers such as Banana Ball (Chattanooga Zoo) and Museum Center at 5ive Points (fire show); city events such as the Miller Park Grand Opening (Chattanooga) where we did a magnificent several hours long fire show; feature shows at conventions such as Con Nooga, Chattacon, Anachrocon, and more; corporate events around the southeast; assisted living residences around the region; and many other events really too numerous to list. My education in dance is also extensive, including study with world famous instructors such as Leyla Jouvana; Jillina; Mahmoud Reda; Eva Cernik; Artemis Mourat; and many more who have been important in my development as a dancer. My academic background includes a degree in fine arts from Amherst College (summa cum laude) with highest honors in painting and a masters degree in Art History with emphasis on Modern Art and performance at University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
I am an artist, but also an extrovert, and grateful to be part of your event. I'm an active dancer, performing every week and teaching a full schedule of dance classes at my studio. When I'm focused on your event, however, my focus and energy are aimed to make my contribution top notch. I also organize shows and events. I understand the stress level involved and I hope to be the easiest part of the event to organize!
Thank you for your consideration. Contact me to discuss details. I look forward to bringing joyful and spectacular entertainment to your event!
