Performance Packages
- Short Bellydance Show - This is a mini belly dance performance of approximately 10 minutes in length. This option is ideal for smaller parties and for surprise "hip-and-run" type bellygrams.
- Classic Bellydance Show - Nimeera will perform for approximately 20 minutes. The first half of the performance is a show which may include finger cymbals, veil, cane, or other props by request. If appropriate, the second half of the performance is usually more focused on audience participation, with everyone on their feet and dancing by the end of the show. Nimeera can add a song or two in Persian, Turkish, or Indian Bollywood style by request.
- Weddings - Zeffa OR Performance - Of course, you want your special day to be perfect! Nimeera is happy to help you plan all the details of the wedding performance (coordinating costume colors, special songs, guests to dance with...). She always allows extra time for weddings because she knows that uncontrollable events can effect your event schedule.
- Children's Arabian Princess Party - Little girls love to dress up! Bring a little fantasy to your child's special day while you relax. Nimeera will dance just long enough to capture the children's imagination. Then everyone will dress up in scarves and jewels. All children will receive a special Arabian Princess gift bag. Finally, Nimeera will lead the group in a fun dance activity based on Middle Eastern dance. Intended for groups of 4 to 20 children ages 6 and up. Hipscarves are provided for the duration of the activity. Activity hosted at your location of choice. Total activity time 30 - 60 minutes.
- Combination performance/group lesson, at your location - This special package includes a performance plus a bellydance lesson for all your friends. Nimeera brings hip scarves and veils for the participants to use during the lesson, and a special gift for the guest of honor! This is a fun package perfect for women-only parties such as bridal and baby showers. Total activity time 45 - 60 minutes.
