About

Rachael performs the art of bellydancing for Arabic weddings, venues and celebrations all over the nation though she herself is located in Manchester. She displays mystifying movements while dancing to exciting music and wearing dazzling costumes. Working alone, she is able to perform open-air acts and can work more hours than originally scheduled.

Rachael's speciality is Egyptian style "raqs sharqi" dance, but she can also provide Lebanese or Turkish style entertainment on request. Her performances can incorporate a wide variety of exciting props, including finger cymbals, silk scarves, cane, sword, or golden 'wings'.

For a truly spectacular show, she can dance to live music provided by an Arabic drummer or Arabic band (to be hired separately, but Rachael can provide advice & recommendations if needed).

Services offered

Her show not only displays bellydancing, but also features spectacular outfits from Cairo's top designers that contribute greatly to her performance. Her costumes can match the theme or colour scheme of your wedding, or she can wear more modest outfits per request. She can arrange a playlist and get people dancing.

How she works

Her performances are separated into sessions of 15 to 30 minutes and can begin during or after your dinner. She can offer her services while your and your partner enter the party for the first time as a couple. She will need a sound system and a private changing area.
