Belly Dance & Henna Parties for Women

Belly dance and henna (mendhi) body art celebrate any occasion: bridal showers, bachelorette parties, baby showers, mother's blessings, birthday parties, girls' nights out, graduation parties, and more! 

The evening begins with a belly dance performance that may include veil dance, zils, drum solo, floorwork, sword dance, cane dance, or other props.  More than one dancer may be available.  The belly dancing delights and charms. 

Then the dancer(s) invite the audience to get up and dance.

Guests will be arrayed in chiffon (large veil for dancing) and jingling hip scarves, ready to learn basic movements of belly dance.  The guest of honor will be adorned specially, with belly dance costume items.  As everyone begins to dance to authentic Middle Eastern music using showing off exciting new moves, the party really gets underway!

Henna body art (mendhi) may also be included. The all-natural paste leaves a stain that darkens magically over the next one to two days, and fades within a couple of weeks.  Guests may choose their own designs, and have them painted on their hands, feet, bellies, anywhere!

If desired, the guests will be professionally posed in costume and henna for photographs (using guests' cameras).

The party ends with a loud zaghareet, led by the guest of honor.  Party favors may include veils, zils (finger cymbals), and/or coin belts. These may be ordered at additional cost.
