Belly Dance by Lauren

My name is Lauren, and I am a performer and teacher of Middle-Eastern Belly Dance in Belleville and Fairview Heights, Illinois. I offer different levels of belly dance performances.

Mini Bellygram

A popular choice for birthday and retirement parties, ladies' luncheons, and other festive occasions that just need a bit of livening up. A belly gram is a **-** minute mini-show with prerecorded music and audience participation. Perfect for birthday party surprises, or for the party host on a budget.

Classic Bellydance Show

A Classic Bellydance Show includes a variety of musical and performance styles. The show is tailored to your needs, but might include hypnotic sword or candle balancing, silk veils, finger cymbals, a drum solo or folkloric dance. Lauren performs for **-** minutes and encourages audience participation as appropriate.

Shimmy Party-Performance plus Lesson

This is a fabulous, fun package - perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, club meetings, or just as a way to have fun with your friends. Includes a ** minute performance in full costume, plus a mini-bellydance lesson (** minutes long) for all your friends. You'll be doing some simple combinations to the music in no time!

Educational Programs

A variety of programs are available including Egyptian dance, Turkish Romani dance, World's Fair, etc.

Two or More Dancers

Ask for a custom quote if you are planning a larger event and want to discuss a show with multiple dancers. The Hips Afire! Bellydancers student repertory group is available to perform at festivals and other events.
