About
Belly Dancer - Illawarra/Shoalhaven NSW is a belly dancer for hire in City of Shellharbour, NSW.
Belly dance across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven, and the admin around it is kept as light as the dancing. Details, timing, space and any special requests are confirmed well ahead, and arrival is early enough to set up and coordinate with you or the venue without a rush. Performances are family friendly and interactive, tuned to whether you want something elegant in the background or something the room joins in on. Four options: a short ten to fifteen minute show, a standard fifteen to twenty with props and optional audience participation, a deluxe twenty to thirty often split in two with a costume change, or a fully custom set. Song choices are yours to request. Around two by two metres of clear flat space does it, indoors or out. Music comes via portable speaker or the venue system. Current public liability insurance.
Watch
The show
Before the day, she'll go through the details with you: timing, how much space is needed, anything particular you've asked for. It gets sorted well in advance so you're not chasing it the week of. On the day she arrives early to set up, get ready and check in with you or the venue. The performance itself is family friendly and interactive, and it bends to the audience. Something elegant sitting in the background, or something lively that people join in on, whichever the event calls for. Audience participation is optional. Costuming and props come with it, the music is chosen to suit, and the length is flexible. Birthdays, weddings, corporate events, cultural celebrations and hens nights all work.
On the day
About 2m by 2m of clear space is ideal, enough to move safely and use props. More is welcome but not needed. Any flat surface does, indoor or out, though outdoors it should be stable underfoot. Music can come from her own portable speaker or through your venue system, so just say which you'd prefer. Standard venue lighting is usually fine, and if you've got something fancier she'll work with it. She arrives early to prepare and warm up. If you want guests joining in, leave enough room for them to do it comfortably. Everything else needed for the performance comes with her.
Performance options
Four ways to book. The Short Show is ten to fifteen minutes of high energy dancing with costuming and music, which suits a surprise moment or a small party. The Standard Show runs fifteen to twenty minutes, adds props and optional audience participation, and works well at birthdays, engagements and family events. The Deluxe Show is twenty to thirty minutes, often split into two parts with a costume change, and it's the one for weddings and bigger celebrations that need more entertainment. Or go custom, with the timing and style built around a themed party, a cultural event or whatever you've got in mind.
