Zuhra Kiya Belly Dancer from San Antonio, TX

Looking for just the right thing for your event? Why not hire a belly dancer. I offer a variety of options to choose from. I can help you select the performance type that's a perfect fit for your event needs. I offer classic belly dance shows, workshops, and private lessons. For more information please contact me. I'd be happy to assist you in your belly dance needs. Since before I could walk, I have had a passion for dance. I began studying dance at age 5 in Dallas, TX. I went on to study tap, baton, jazz, gymnastics, and I was a member of my high school drill team. My interest in belly dance started after watching belly dancers perform at a local renaissance festival. In 2008, I began taking classes and dedicated my dance career to belly dance full time. I have entertained audiences throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio areas, MN, FL and CA with Middle Eastern style belly dance. I use an array of props including: zills (finger cymbals), veil, sword, wings, fire tray, and shamadan. I look forward to sharing my passion for and skills in belly dance with YOU! Classic Belly Dance Show: Duration: 30 min.: A traditional belly dance show featuring beautiful Isis wings entrance (space permitting), grand veil or fan veil, finger cymbals, taqsim (the mesmerizing slow section) & ending with an exciting & engaging drum solo with the dancer's movements interpreting the dynamics of a drum song. Performance time is 20-25 min. with the remaining time spent getting the audience members involved in the fun. Even the shyest of party goers will find themselves swept away. This is a popular choice for wedding receptions, showers, charity gala events, corporate events & more. Performance and Lessons: Duration: 60 min.: This is a very fun & unique package that is great for Ladies Night Out, corporate events, bridal showers or just to celebrate & try something different & new. Have you ever wondered where belly dancing came from? (Hint: It's not Hollywood). During this time, I will make a short presentation about the fascinating & surprising history of the dance form. This will give your guests a deeper understanding of the dance & how it fits into Middle Eastern culture. If you're interested in trying the dance out with your friends, I will bring coin hip scarves to loan for a fun group lesson that is sure to get everyone moving. Can be broken down as such: 5 person group (2-5 participants) 10 person group (6-10 participants) 15 person group (11-15 participants)
