Thank you for making my 50th birthday celebration so special. I've been too many performances and yours is by far the best! All the dancers were very talented, beautiful, classy, and went out of their way to be friendly to the guests. I'm bringing another group on the 16th! Thanks again and keep dancing!

Hello Meliza,

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your performances for my bridal shower and wedding. You are a true professional with an amazing style of teaching and performing. The bridal shower performance was amazing because it gave all of my close friends, family, and future family a chance to experience the art of belly dancing first hand, you did an incredible job doing that, THANK YOU! I was so relieved that you invited me and my fiancé to come and check you out before our wedding; it was a gesture that communicated to us professionalism and confidence in your performance. Seeing you and your dancer in person you are both even MORE beautiful in person than in the pictures, which was such a relief. In fact, a few of my girlfriends have hit the gym since seeing you both.

Thank you so VERY much for everything!!!!!!!!!!

The entertainment that you ladies provided for my father's 50th birthday was off the hook! People were still talking about you girls even after you left the party, and everybody was asking where I found you. You are the best and the most beautiful belly dancers that we have ever seen, and we're very impressed with the performance!

Thank you again for providing us with such great entertainment.

~Emanuel Lordache

Thanks so much Meliza. Our guests had a fantastic time. Everyone thought you were beautiful. We really appreciate it. We are getting quite a response from our clients. They are saying it is our best client event yet and we have had some fun ones. Once we rented a race track for the day and raced cars all day, so that is quite a compliment.
