    What is a "Bellygram?"

    A "bellygram" is a 15-20 minute performance which includes a veil dance, belly dance and a drum solo dance. The last song of a bellygram set will usually be a modern Middle Eastern song that is easy to clap and dance to. During this song the belly dancer will get the guest of honor, if there is one, up to dance and show them a few moves & just have fun with them.

    Performances can be customized to be done in most any venue and for most any occasion. All bellygrams are meant to be suitable and entertaining for ALL ages.

    Having dancers entertain at parties is a centuries-old custom, an honored tradition in many parts of the world, and for the last quarter of a century, in America too. Belly dancers are hired to celebrate every kind of occasion, and it truly isn't a party unless you have a belly dancer! So, whatever kind of party you are planning, a belly dancer can help to liven things up and get the party started.

    Costume Choices

    If you hire Schadia or one of her dancers, she will be dressed in an authentic, tasteful and exquisite costume from the Middle East.

    Although most people prefer the cabaret style costumes, we also have many other less revealing costumes if the client wishes.

    Schadia works very hard to meet the needs of each and every client, and since she employs not only herself but a number of other professional dancers, she is sure to be able to find the perfect style of dance and dancer for you and your event.

    This highly entertaining art form is a great crowd pleaser and is always performed in perfectly good taste. Along with an exceptional display of Middle Eastern Dance, audience participation can also be part of the fun. A perfect show for any event!

    Do you want to surprise someone and give them a truly memorable gift? For both men and women, the gift of a beautiful dance from an equally beautiful belly dancer is definitely something special.

    Hiring a belly dancer is the perfect gift for

    		Each member of the Nazeem Allayl Dance Company is an accomplished dancer in her own right. We have all had extensive Middle Eastern dance training, as well as having diverse dance backgrounds.

    All members of Nazeem Allayl dance in Atlanta as professional soloists. They are also all teachers and contributing choreographers within Schadia's dance studio.

    More information about Nazem Allayl and its members.

    What is your area of operation?

    Schadia is based in north eastern Atlanta inside the perimeter and her professional dancers come from various locations across northern Atlanta. We operate in and around the Atlanta area. In the past, we have danced at events as far south as the Airport and as far north as Duluth and Alpharetta, and (at a price) even in Dahlonega and Peachtree city.

    How much is a Bellygram or Special Event?

    That depends on a number of factors such as driving distance, time of day and day of week, type of event, and lead time (Surcharge for Ramadan, Eid ul-Adha, Eid-ul-Fitr aka Id-al-Fitr, Divali, Christmas and New Year's Eve parties). For an exact quote, please contact Schadia at and provide the details of your event.

    Do you dance at all male events?

    Sorry, Schadia and/or her dancers do NOT dance at all male parties, especially not at Bachelor parties.

    Special Event: All Female Event

    Are you having an all-female gathering and evening of fun? Having a belly dancer would be the perfect compliment to such a party. Belly dance is a truly woman-centered art form and a beautiful way to express the beauty of being a woman and honor women. Belly dance is done in the Middle East by women for other women. At such parties, everyone dances from little children to their great-grandmothers! If you have an image of dancers dancing for sultans, oh how wrong you would be! :)

    So, if you are looking for a way to incorporate something new, different, and fun into that bridal shower, pre-wedding party, baby shower, family gathering or women's group get-together hire a belly dancer as part of your "girls night" celebration!

    Special Event: Wedding

    Are you looking for entertainment for your upcoming Wedding or Engagement Party?

    Did you know that having a belly dancer at an engagement party or wedding reception is considered to bring good luck and a future filled with healthy children to the couple? Belly dance originated as a way to worship fertility deities in the ancient cultures of the Middle East & those who performed belly dance were considered to bring special favor to the couple for whom they danced. This belief has survived and is felt to be true even today! Hey, it can't hurt right?!

    Special Event: Company Party

    Are you in charge of booking entertainment for your company or group's next function? Why not have an Egyptian or Turkish themed party and book a belly dancer to put on a fabulous show! With belly dancing coming into the American mainstream pop culture, it will be in style and very happening! And, we will surely help you to make it an event to remember!

    A Middle Eastern themed party including a beautifully costumed dancer putting on a very authentic and tasteful show is a fantastic idea for
    • Business & Corporate Functions
    • Fundraisers
    • Banquets
    • Catering Facilities
    • Resort Parties
