Jewels of the East Will Add Shimmy and Sparkle to your Event
As the nation prepares to watch the Royal Wedding many of you are planning events of your own. So if you have a wedding, hen party, birthday, surprise party or family event coming up why not book a bellydancer to bring the wow factor!
If you would like to hire us to dance below are some details to consider:
What sort of belly dancing would you like us to perform and to which styles of music?
We can dance set choreographies and improvise to a variety of Arabic, world and western music.
How long would you like us to dance for? When would you like us to dance?
We can dance as people arrive, during a meal or at any point during your event!
What sort of sound system is available?
For smaller venues a powerful stereo should be ok but please bear in mind that it will need to carry over the
volume of any background noise (e.g. people eating). Organizers will need to provide a PA for large venues.
How much space will there be to dance?
We can dance around tables, audiences, on stage or a mixture if suitable.
Will there be anywhere for us to get changed and leave our bags?
A small area to prepare is ideal
If you have any questions whatsoever please feel free to get in contact with us!

Jewels of the East Class Puts a Spell on the Audience
Friday the 22nd of April saw the Jewels of the East Class troupe "Eastern Promises" add shimmy and sparkle to Vanessa's Hafla in Seaton Carew. It was a fabulous event with a wonderful supportive atmosphere and beautiful perfomances. For some it was their debut performance and everyone came off stage smiling and asking when the next chance to perform was going to be!
The Jewels of the East burlesque troupe "Moonlight Minxes" brought drama and excitement to the night with their moulin rouge themed routine.
