FAQ
Q: What events are considered?
A: No event is too big or too small, and every event is custom-tailored to meet your needs. Rana Kalila will provide unforgettable entertainment for your guests with her elegant, classy, and authentic Middle Eastern bellydance. Rana will dance for cultural events and international festivals, restaurant shows, birthday parties, weddings, bridal showers and bachelorette parties, corporate events, and charitable events.

Q: How long will the show last?
A: Any length of show can be accommodated. The length of show usually depends on the event and the type of venue. Please view the sample show descriptions below for typical lengths and prices.
Q: What should I expect?
A: In the Middle East, no party is complete without a bellydancer! The dancer will provide your guests with a vibrant, lively cultural experience they will always remember. Music will be provided, but the venue should provide the sound system. The dancer will usually stay hidden until the music starts. When appropriate, the dancer will include audience participation, either inviting the guest of honor to dance, or providing a mini-lesson for all your friends! Tipping is welcome unless the host requests otherwise.
Q: Is it appropriate for children?
A: Bellydance is 100% family friendly and suitable for any age. Children are usually a bellydancer’s biggest fans and are always invited to dance with the dancer! Special costuming considerations are made for outdoor or festival settings.
Q: What if I need more than one bellydancer?
A: Rana collaborates with other talented dancers in the area. You can hire a solo, duet, or a whole troupe of dancers! Perfect for large parties or corporate events!
Q: How far in advance should I make the booking?
A: The minimum is a 24-hour notice, but the earlier you book, the better chance you have of finding an available dancer. If you have any special requests (style, music, props, or multiple dancers), please book at least 3 weeks in advance of your event.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: Cost varies depending on the venue and event. Rana observes industry standards, but does offer discounts for charitable or educational events. Please see the sample show descriptions below, or contact Rana for a price quote.
