  • 2-3 songs
  • One or more props, including finger cymbals, veil, candles or sword

Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, Bachelorette Parties

Belly dance is often stereotyped as a means of seducing men, but it actually has its roots in social dance performed by women for women, and can be a wonderful way to bond at showers and other all-female events. 
A belly dancer is a potent symbol of femininity and fertility. 
So if you're looking for a fun "girls night ", Flaming Sands would be happy to oblige. 
Choose either a Bellygram or a Performance and Lesson Package

Important note: Flaming Sands does not perform at bachelor parties or other all-male events!
