Booking Information
A: Any length of show can be accommodates from 10 min - 1 hr.  The length of show usually depends on the event and the type of venue.  Please view the samples on the right-hand column.

A: In the middle-east, no party is complete without a bellydancer!  The dancer will provide your guests with a vibrant, lively, cultural experience they won't soon forget.  Music will be provided, but the venue should provide the sound system.  The dancer will usually stay hidden until the music starts.  When appropriate the dancer will include audience participation, either inviting the guest of honor to dance or providing a mini-lesson for all your friends!  Tipping is welcome unless the host requests otherwise.

A: Bellydance is 100% family friendly and suitable for any age.  Children are usually a bellydancer's biggest fans and are always invited to dance with the dancer!  Special costuming considerations are made for outdoor or festival settings.

A: Naia collaborates with other talented dancers in the area.  You can hire a solo, duet, or a whole troupe of dancers!  Perfect for large parties or corporate events!

A: The minimum is 24 hr notice, but the earlier you book, the better chance you have of finding an available dancer.  If you have any special requests (style, music, props, or multiple dancers) please book at least 2-3 weeks in advance.

A: Cost varies depending on the venue and event.  Naia observes industry standards but does offer discounts for charitable or educational events.  Please contact for a price quote.
