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.
