Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I Hire a Belly Dancer for my event?
– Belly dance is one of the most joyful dance forms and has its origins in social gatherings. Not only are the costumes super glamorous but the music I bring along is fun and will encourage your guests to dance too!
– We know how special your big day or event is so careful thought and consultation with you is placed into the performance set so that you and your guests can relax and enjoy the show.
How is your set composed?
– Usually it starts with a professional, choreographed belly dance performance followed by audience participation.
– Sets can be either 15 minutes, 20-25 minutes or half an hour long. Multiple sets can also take place during your event. Any price quoted will be dependent on the length of the performance as well as travel costs.
Can I book more than one dancer?
– Yes absolutely! You can book anything between 1-7 dancers for your event. Price quoted will depend on the length of the performance as well as travel costs.
– It is also possible to book a live drummer, snake charmer, folk dancers and tanoura dancer through this site.
I’ve never taken a dance class before, what can I expect?
– Sureya is a qualified instructor so you are in safe hands! Each class is tailor made and planned in advance to suit your own level and style you wish to cover. Yes you are guaranteed a workout but the most important thing is to let go and have fun dancing!
Are you insured?

– You will also receive an official documented contract, invoice and receipt, where all T&Cs as well as cancellation policy will be sent via email.
Do you perform at any event?
– I and my colleagues perform for a variety of events including weddings, hen, henna and bridal shower parties, corporate events & birthdays. However, we do not perform for male-only events – a mixed audience would include at least ¼ female.
I would like a traditional belly dancer, but my audience are more concervative or religious.
– As listed, all professional costuming can be tailored to suit your events. This includes more concervative costuming (traditional dance Galabeyas are available or body stockings) which the dancer can wear. The most important thing is you and your audience are comfortable and enjoy the performance!
Am I allowed to take photos or videos of your performance during the event or class?
– Yes of course! It is important to keep these memories of your big day or event.
I’m running a corporate event or function. Why should I choose this service?
