About
Aleksandra - Belly Dancer & Dance Workshops is a belly dancer for hire in The Rocks, NSW.
Classic Oriental belly dance, drum solos, Saidi with cane, Dabke, Khaleegy and fusion pieces blending salsa and samba. Aleksandra performs culturally authentic belly dance tailored to each event, with props ranging from flowing veils and silk wings to LED fans and Isis wings. Shows run 12 to 20 minutes with optional audience interaction, and live musicians can be arranged for accompaniment. Guided group workshops for hens parties, team days and celebrations are also on offer, and no dance experience is needed to join in. Suited to weddings, corporate events, restaurants, hotels, cultural festivals and private celebrations around Sydney. A flat floor and a three-by-three-metre space is all the show needs.
Watch
The show
An elegant belly dance performance, built around your event rather than dropped into it. A show might take in a choreographed piece, a drum solo, folklore elements or fusion styles, and audience interaction is there if you want it. The props do a lot of the visual work: veil, LED fans, Isis wings, silk wings and sidestick. It fits corporate events, weddings, restaurants, hotels, private celebrations and cultural festivals.
On the day
The performance space needs to be at least 3m by 3m, and bigger if wings are part of the show. The floor has to be flat and safe to dance on. For music you'll need a sound system with Bluetooth or AUX input, though she can bring the music on USB, and a power outlet if one is needed. Somewhere to change is appreciated. Two optional extras: stage lighting lifts the whole performance, and live musicians can be organised on request.
Performance options
There are three performance options. A 12-minute choreographed show with audience interaction, or a 20-minute improvisation to your own music. A signature show pairing 10 minutes of choreography with premium props, LED fans or lit wings, sidestick and a flowing veil, plus 10 to 20 minutes of interaction. And a cultural experience combining a two-hour workshop with a performance. Group workshops run for an hour, and private lessons are available individually or in pairs, with discounts for blocks of 8 or 12. Custom choreography can be ordered, and live musicians arranged.
