A spirited and glamorous belly dance performance is an excellent addition to any festive event! 15-20 minutes is usually perfect as party entertainment. Sword dance or audience participation included if desired.

If you want a longer show, with more audience participation, your dancer can stay and dance with the guests.

Basic Party Package - Lesson
Your dancer will bring the music and lend your guests hip scarves to help set the mood. The party begins with a short belly dance demonstration in a nice belly dance teacher outfit. Then it’s on to a fun belly dance lesson in steps, circles, undulations, drops, and shimmies to get all of your guests moving their hips, and sharing the fun.
$200 for one instructor, 1 hour

Extra Party Package - Performance & Lesson
Your dancer arrives in a professional belly dance costume for a short performance with finger cymbals, silk veil, and if desired, a sword. Then the lesson begins, with everything in the basic package. Or your party can start with the lesson, and then your dancer changes into costume for a glittering performance. You decide if your guests would enjoy the lesson or the performance first.
$300 for one dancer, 1 hour

Party Extras-  You may want to buy the coined hip scarves for your guests to take home as party favors .

Schools & Multicultural Events

Picture
Take a multicultural journey through music and dance, focusing on the Middle East.

Aubergine highlights the origins of belly dance and the journey it has taken from its folkloric roots. Bright and lively, engaging the audience from the start, we demonstrate cultural dances, rhythms, and the instruments of the regions. We weave a story of how songs are interconnected by history and culture. Egypt, the Ottoman Empire, the Romani (Gypsy) people, and ballet all have a part to play in the history of belly dance.

Part discourse, part dance show, part instrument petting zoo, Aubergine's performance delights the eyes and ears. Music from Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Israel and more create a colorful production that captures the audience’s hearts.

Restaurants

Picture
Aubergine dancers can also perform at restaurants, as a one time event or as a weekly or monthly series. Customers will flock in to see this beautiful ethnic dance form! For recurring performances, the performance price is discounted to $100 for one dancer's set per night, and $160 for the same dancer to perform two sets. Single night parties are at the $250 rate.
