2)  Ladies' Night Lesson - $125

This special one-hour package is perfect for ladies-nights, stagettes and showers!  Surprise the bachelorette or guest of honor with an amazing interactive bellydance lesson!

Tie a scarf on your hips and learn how to move them!  This package includes a short 5-10 minute performance followed by a bellydance lesson for you and your friends.  At the end of the lesson, you and your guests will be able to dance a short bellydance routine!   Asra brings fun coin or fringed hip scarves for everyone to wear during the lesson and may be purchased as a keepsake if you wish.  If desired, the whole package can be planned as a complete surprise for the bachelorette (Shhhh!).

Safe, all-ages dance technique will be taught, with the focus on making sure everyone is up on their feet and laughing.  Make your ladies' party fun and memorable for everyone!

Large groups welcome!  Asra has accomodated groups as large as 150 for ladies' night parties and will work with you to make your event a success.


3)  The Party/Lesson Combo - $200

Get the best of both worlds!  This combines the longer performance and wow-factor of the full party set with the interactive fun of a short bellydance lesson.  You will get a 10-15 minute performance which includes props such as veil and sword.  Afterwards, Asra will bring out some hip scarves and teach a shorter 20-30 minute bellydance lesson. 

This is great for mixed male/female groups where a full one-hour lesson would be too long but you still want to include some interactive fun for the ladies (and the braver men!).

Fun coin or fringed hip scarves for everyone to wear during the lesson are also included and may be purchased as a keepsake if you wish.  Of course, this can also be planned as a surprise for your guests if desired.


4)  Short Set or "Bellygram" - $95

A bellygram is a great idea for a surprise at a birthday party, restaurant, or any other place where something quick and fun is what you want!  Asra gets the guest of honor up on their feet, photos taken, and then it's back to your festivities!

A bellygram is a quick 10 minute set composed of 2-3 short songs, designed to get your crowd energized without spending too much time (or money).

Short but with plenty of impact, this package includes a dramatic entrance, a veil or sword piece to impress the guests, an upbeat pop song, and an exit with a flourish.  Sure to leave your guests talking, and your guest of honor smiling!


Additional Sets - $100

Extend the evening's entertainment!  Add a second or third set at a reduced rate.  All additional sets include a change of costume.
