Suggested Packages

Ladies Dance Party ~ $200
Very popular for bachlorette parties, baby showers, or for a girls night out/in. A 6-minute solo performance followed by a fun dance lesson (30 minutes) for your guests.

Classic Belly Dance Performance Group ~ starting at $300
Perfect for larger parties, corporate events, and weddings! A group of dancers has a larger visual impact and adds variety and excitement. A 20 minute set is common and may include both solo and group choreographed numbers as well as optional audience participation. Pricing is $150 per dancer.
* A second set, with costume change, within the same hour (typically 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first set) is available for an additional fee of $50 per dancer.
*For weddings, please add an additional fee of $100 per dancer. We are available for a meeting with the coordinator prior to the wedding date and always allow extra time for weddings because uncontrollable events can effect the schedule.

Hourly Rate ~ $300 per dancer
Hiring a dancer by the hour provides greater flexibility in arranging your entertainment. For example, a themed party may want one or more dancers as "atmosphere" during the event, with one or two short performances during the hour. Price: $300 per dancer.

Dance Workshop
Lily is available for belly dance and tribal fusion belly dance workshop instruction. Please contact Lily for the list of workshop topics.

Guidelines - What to do and what to expect when hiring a belly dancer

Dance Area :: Provide the dancer a clean and well-defined area in which to perform, preferably at least 6 by 4 feet. A stage or bigger dance area gives the audience a better view.

Dressing Area :: A private and secure dressing area is required to change in and out of costumes and store belongings. Water bottles and mirrors in the dressing area are essential.

Stereo System :: A quality stereo system with a CD player will enhance the music and performance significantly.

Showing Appreciation :: Clapping with the music, watching attentively and encouraging your guests to do the same will make the evening more memorable. Tipping the dancer by showering her with bills is authentic, dignified and highly appreciated.

Respect the Schedule :: Be considerate of the dancers' time, as they may have another engagement on the same night. The show should begin within 30 minutes of the originally scheduled time. Every additional 15 minutes over the scheduled start time adds $25 to the fee.
