PREVIOUS PERFORMANCES
The Desert Shadow Dancers perform at a variety of events. We have brought the beauty and artistry of Middle Eastern dance in Lafayette, La and abroad, such as Arabic weddings, elementary schools, or maybe opening acts for bands. We customize our performances to suite requirements of the client and to accommodate the uniqueness of the venue. Having belly dancers to entertain at parties is a centuries-old custom in many parts of the world. Belly dancers are hired to celebrate every kind of occasion. Besides, it’s not a true party with out a belly dancer!
Our performances are family oriented. No bachelor parties!
• STAGE PERFORMANCES (festivals, Mardi Gras balls, fairs, etc.)
• OCCASION PERFORMANCES (theme parties, office parties, school events, graduations)
• BIRTHDAYS (We have a variety of affordable packages AND we also host birthday parties at the studio.)
• WEDDINGS (Did you know that having a belly dancer at a wedding reception or an event for a wedding is considered to bring good luck? Since belly dancing originated as a way to worship fertility deities in ancient cultures of the Middle East, it is intended to bring the couple a future filled with healthy children and a happy marriage. This tradition is still popular today and is felt to be true!)

BOOK DESERT SHADOWS FOR YOU NEXT EVENT!!
How soon in advance should I book?
The further in advance the more likely the Desert Shadows will be able to make arrangements to dance at your event. However, some bookings are still possible at late notice.
Is a deposit needed?
Yes. Half the booking price (non-refundable) is needed one week before the event. The rest of the balance can be paid when the Desert Shadows arrives to your event.
What about a sound system?
We ask that the sponsor of the event is responsible for having a reliable sound system with speakers and CD player. If you do not have an adequate sound system for the event, we do have one we can provide for a rental cost of $15 to be used for Desert Shadows performance.
Is the show appropriate for children?
Absolutely! All of our shows are family oriented.
Prices vary according to your needs and distance. We will work with you to put together the perfect package for a fun and memorable event!
