Delight your daughter with a belly dance or henna party, or a combination of both.
Girls of all ages love Jillanna's parties. She has taught belly dance to girls ages 3 and up, and is mother to two girls (ages 13 and 5). Her little girls' troupe, the Mermaids, ranges in age from 3 to 9.
Themes for Girls' Parties: Genie Dreams (see description below); Hula Luau; Cleopatra Parties (Egyptian theme); and Mermaid Parties.
Jillanna also offers parties for teenagers and adults. Parties may include performance only or instruction, and may include both. Inclusion of henna (mendhi) also an option. Multiple dancers available.
Genie Dreams Party:
The host or hostess finds a magic lamp, and a belly dancing genie appears! The guests will be enchanted by her dances with veil and zils (finger cymbals).
Imagine their pleasure when the genie teaches the girls basic movements, and they begin to dance to authentic Middle Eastern music with colorful chiffon veils!
Next the genie reveals her henna basket, and offers henna body art. The all-natural paste leaves a stain that darkens magically over the next one to two days, and fades within a couple of weeks. Children may choose their own designs.
The party ends with a loud zaghareet, also demonstrated by the genie. Party favors may include child-sized veils, tinkerzils (small finger cymbals), and/or coin belts. These incur additional expense, and must be ordered at least 2 weeks in advance.
