A tip from one of my biggest fans

Delight guests at your next party or event with live entertainment. Family entertainment only, please.

Different events require different performances. For a baby shower or teen party, a mini-group lesson might be the best choice. For other events, Donia offers a professional, engaging performance.

 

EXPERIENCE
Donia was a regular performer at Hana's Middle Eastern restaurant (Syracuse, NY) before it closed. She routinely entertains for events at the Turning Stone Casino (Verona, NY) and can be seen occasionally at Moghul (Binghamton, NY). She is a favorite with Middle Eastern families across the state, and is a regular entertainer for several large Lebanese Associations. In addition to local venues, Donia has open invitations to perform at clubs in Boston and NYC whenever she's in town. She's captivated audiences at:

weddings
birthday parties
New Year's Eve celebrations
art gallery opening
cultural programs
school diversity programs
children's birthday parties
grand opening celebrations
community festivals
art programs for children
university society events

"Thank you for being a memorable part of our bridal shower. You did a wonderful job and we received lots of compliments. It was definitely more fun than shower games!"
- Jeanne

MUSIC
Live music is wonderful. If you've arranged for live music, Donia will be delighted to perform with your musicians. More commonly though, Donia will bring her own music on either a CD or iPod.


COSTUMING CHOICES
Although all of Donia costumes are tasteful, full coverage dresses or folkloric costumes can be requested.


SPACE
Space isn't usually an issue - it's been said that the mark of great dancer is the ability to enchant her audience without moving out of a 3 foot square. Donia has performed in tiny living rooms and between the aisles of stores.

Payment is expected upon arrival.

Please be aware that additional fees may apply if your event starts late. My time is valuable to me. It's not fair to ask me to wait for an significant amount of time without compensating me.

Additional mileage charges may apply if I'm required to travel more than 45 minutes from Cortland, NY.

Event cancelations must be made at least 3 days before the event to avoid being charged.

 

 

 
"We loved having you at our event. You certainly drew the largest crowd of the day! Judging by the smiles on everyone's faces, the audience thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The kids had a great time too. A few of them continued dancing for rest of the day!"
- Gail (community group organizer)
