Belly dancing is one of the oldest and most recognised dance forms in the world, with roots in Egyptian, Turkish and Middle Eastern folk traditions. Professional belly dance performers combine intricate hip isolations, fluid arm movements and expressive choreography to create shows that draw in audiences of all ages. Booked solo or as part of a troupe, a skilled belly dancer adds a distinctive visual and cultural element to any gathering.
Most belly dancers perform 15 to 30 minute sets, often split across two appearances during an event. Performances typically feature a range of props including silk veils, finger cymbals (zills), swords balanced on the head, canes, fan veils and Isis wings. Styles vary widely: Egyptian raqs sharqi focuses on smooth isolations and emotional expression, Turkish oriental dance tends to be faster and more energetic, while modern fusion blends belly dance with other genres. Many artists also offer guest workshops where attendees learn basic shimmies and hip drops, which works well at hen parties, birthday celebrations and team events. For weddings, some performers offer a zaffa, a traditional processional entrance with drumming and dancing that announces the couple to guests. If you need a broader mix of dance styles at your event, consider pairing a belly dancer with Bollywood dancers, flamenco dancers or salsa dancers for a multicultural programme.
Belly dancers are a natural fit for weddings, where they can honour Middle Eastern or Mediterranean cultural traditions or simply provide striking entertainment during the drinks reception or evening party. Birthday parties and anniversary celebrations benefit from the interactive element, with performers often inviting guests onto the floor. Corporate events, product launches and gala dinners use belly dance as an icebreaker or a focal point during dinner. Restaurant openings, cultural festivals and themed parties round out the most common bookings. For events that call for roaming entertainment rather than a stage show, some dancers also perform table-side or move through the crowd, keeping energy levels high without needing a dedicated performance area. If your event has a broader Middle Eastern entertainment theme, belly dancers pair well with live percussion and traditional musicians.
Rates for belly dancers typically range from $110 to $450+, with most bookings averaging around $220. The main factors that affect price are performance duration, the number of costume changes, whether the act is solo or a troupe, and travel distance. Weddings and formal events tend to sit at the higher end because performers allow extra time for scheduling flexibility. Adding a pre-event workshop, live musician accompaniment or specialty props like fire fans will also adjust the fee. When comparing quotes, check what is included: some performers bundle music, props and multiple sets into a single price, while others charge separately for extras.
The average price for Belly Dancers is $220 (USD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

"Diane D. - "Hi there! I am sorry that I am just getting this sent, but I wanted to let you know that my husband LOVED the Comedy Chicken (and so did his entire office staff)! He is a very shy man and being the center of attention like that is not in his comfort zone - but he told me countless times that it was awesome!!!! I saw the video and I LOVED it. He also loved the caricature!! You guys are the best - so talented and so professional. I will be reaching out to you again for sure (as I am sure many in his office will do as well)!!! Thanks so much for making my husband's big day so fun!!!""
Tara Chantelle Gomez
"We had the most beautiful and transformative experience with Tara. She was invited to guide a private gathering of 10 women through a journey of Divine Feminine energy and healing, and it was truly extraordinary.
Tara created such a safe, sacred, and inspiring space for us to connect, open up, and explore deeper layers of ourselves. Her presence, knowledge, and wisdom are incredible.
She is deeply knowledgeable and well-prepared, and throughout the entire experience she shared valuable insights and teachings that enriched the journey even further.
We spent three hours together, and every moment felt meaningful and intentional.
It was an unforgettable experience. Thank you Tara. 🌺✨"

Belly Dance Show & Fire Show by Azra
"I recently attended an event where Azra the belly dancer not only belly danced but balanced a sword on her head, performed a fire show while dancing as well as a light show with fabric fans!! Not your typical belly dancer at all.😲
Azra is a very talented, friendly and an engaging dancer. The beautiful colors of her outfit and props, combined with the ancient rhythm of the dance truly created a memorable experience.🥰
Everyone felt comfortable around her instantly which is important i feel and she even put belly dancing belts on some of the guests which they absolutely loved!! :)💃💃💃🔥"
