FAQS
Why is hiring a bellydancer so expensive?
Our dancers are all highly trained and have been performing for over
ten years. They have trained with some of the finest bellydance teachers
in the world,
and spend thousands of pounds on their professional costuming, music and
training.
How flexible is the dancer on a time scale?
Our dancers do arrive on time and only take around 30 mins max to get changed
and ready to perform. It is waste of her time to have to hang around for hours
before she dances. Whilst we are flexible to the tune of say, a 40 minute wait,
and hour or more is unacceptable. The dancer is paid for her agreed time slot
for performance. She is not obliged to act as a hostess or socialise with your
guest/customers. Indeed, it is generally considered bad form and unprofessional
for a dancer to do this.
Why are your dancers paid beforehand rather than after a performance?
This elimates unecessary waiting and the need for our dancers to have to find
and ask the right person for their payment on the night. Often, if the gig
is a large wedding or corporate event, it can take up to 30 mins for the dancers
to find the relevant person. Also, it means that the transaction is discreet.
What can I expect from your dancers?
Absolute professionalism in the form of glamour, apptitude and experience.Our
dancers can read and anticipate audience moods and needs, and adjust their
performance accordingly. We do not force people up to dance against their will,
or subject them to lewd or embarrassing acts at their expense. We treat each
gig as a family event.
What do your dancers wear?
We wear a variety of cultural dance styles from folk costuming in which the
dancer is completely covered, to glittery cabaret costumes. We do not wear
skimpy or overly revealing costumes. We are belly dancers, not strippers or
lapdancers.
I have no sound system, do you bring your own?
Not usually. We do have a music system but this is only available for large
events such as weddings and corporate gigs when there are two or more dancers.
There is an extra fee for hire of the sound system.
Do you have musicians?
We can hire musicians on your behalf subject to availability.
Is it cheaper to hire more than one dancer?
Yes. We offer reduced rates for two or more dancers.
