Belly Grams by Jillanna

 

Bellygram: A belly dance performance given as a gift, usually to an unsuspecting person.  The recipient may be celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or merely needing a moment of frivolity in his or her day.  Belly dancing at parties and special occasions is traditional, ancient, and respectable....  and fun, too.

Jillanna's Bellygrams vary according to individual requests, but often consist of two to four dances.  She will then attempt to coax the recipient of the bellygram to dance.  Other guests often dance as well!  If so, Jillanna will let the music play longer and encourage the dancing.

Before the Bellygram, Jillanna will want to be able to recognize the VIP and will ask for a description.  She will also want to set up a meeting spot out of sight of the recipient, and will need to arrange for someone to start the music on her portable stereo in many cases.

 

 

Costume, props (sword, cane, etc.,) music, and choreography always tailored to your event, and may be discussed as well.  More than one dancer also available, at additional charge.

Jillanna performs fusion & fantasy styles as well as traditional and modern Oriental Belly Dance. If requested, she will even perform to your favorite song, no matter the genre of the music.
