Q: How long is a standard bellydance show?

          A: 20-30 minutes (6-8 songs) is a great show

length because you get to see a good variety

throughout the show.  Shaunti often breaks her

show into two segments (each 3-4 songs long)

and does a costume change

in between so that her

audience can see more

than one look.

Q: How far in advance should I book Shaunti Fera?

          A: This is entirely up to you.  Some clients book Shaunti a year in advance and others one day in advance.  If the event is a wedding or high-profile occasion, it is advised that you book Shaunti 5-8 months in advance to ensure that you have no issue getting the desired date and showtime.  Bookings may be made up to one year in advance.

Q: How is Shaunti's music played at the party?

          A: Shaunti will provide the DJ or the host of the party with her show songs burned in order on a CD.  It is the client's responsibility to provide the sound system as Shaunti does not bring stereo equipment with her. Please make sure you have a sound system that can play loud enough to be heard over the bustle of the party. Once the CD is playing, it is not necessary to pause or stop the music at all. Just let the CD run through from start to finish and Shaunti will take care of the rest.

Q: Is tipping appropriate?

          A: Yes, tipping can be done in many ways. Middle-Eastern cultures often tip their dancers by showering bills over the dancers during the performance. If you are near a dancer, you may also tuck tips in appropriate places on the dancer's costume, like armbands or the side of their skirt waistband. Or, tips can be given to the dancer with the show pay when the show is complete.

Q: What will Shaunti need from me to help the show run smoothly as planned?

          A: (1) She will need safe a place to change into costume and stow belongings. (2) She will also need you to provide a stereo system that can play the show CD.
