Show Packages
The Belly Gram—This three-song (10-15 minute) performance is a popular option for birthday and retirement parties or any time you want to surprise a guest of honor. A Belly Gram is the perfect ice breaker to put your guests in the mood to party!
The Standard Show—A five-song (20-25 minute) performance that can include various props and styles, the Standard Show is great for fundraisers, receptions or any event where you want to make an impression! Book multiple sets to keep the party going longer! Multi-set bookings include a costume change.
The Princess Party–Children are entranced by sparkles and swirling skirts, so what better way to create birthday memories than to hire a real, live belly dancing princess? Genevieve performs one fun, upbeat song as a demonstration, then it’s the party guests’ turn to dance! Genevieve tailors a “lesson” to the age and ability of the guests to ensure everyone has a great time with plenty of laughter and twirling. And those precious photo ops are priceless!
The Girls’ Night Special–Whether you’re planning a bachelorette party, a wedding shower, a reunion or just a fun night with the girls, Genevieve will help make your special evening unforgettable! Start with an exciting three-song performance then take part in a 30-minute mini belly dance lesson, allowing all your guests to be part of the action! This package includes a small gift for the bride or guest of honor.
All performances are family friendly and appropriate for all ages.
