Nicole highly encourages the usage of live music for the best quality entertainment, and can provide contact information for musicians upon request. She can otherwise provide a CD of music tailored to your event, with specific music upon request. The venue should have a good quality sound-system that plays CDs. Is the performance appropriate for children? All performances are family-friendly. Children usually love watching and dancing with the belly dancer as much as everyone else! What kind of music is used? Nicole is particularly partial to classic belly dance music from the Golden Era (think Rahbani, Oum Kulthoum, Fariuz, Abdel Wahab, etc) but can provide more modern music as well. She is completely open to working with the event organizer to come up with music that fits the theme of your event, be it fun and playful, elegant, or with a particular theme! What if I want more than one Belly Dancer? There are many talented dancers that Nicole collaborates with, and she is more than happy to schedule their time if your event requires two or more dancers. What about tipping? Gratuity can be added to your payment upon request, usually about 20 to 40%. However, while tips are appreciated, they are never obligatory. Nicole may also be tipped in person at the event by members of the audience as appropriate. When should I book? The sooner the better so that your time is reserved. Last minute shows may be accepted however, and it never hurts to call and ask about availibility, so what are you waiting for? |
