Natalia performed for birthday celebration, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! She was very easy to engage with prior to party . She arrived on time and all prepared. Her energy was infectious, and she instantly lit up the room. Her vibrant costume and captivating moves drew everyone in.
She not only performed beautifully but also engaged with the audience, encouraging us to join in and learn a few moves ourselves. It added an interactive element that made the party even more fun and memorable. I highly recommend her . Very professional and very positive ! Thank you for making my party so special!

Your Guide To Hiring a Belly Dancer in Manchester
If you want to add something vibrant and unforgettable to your event, hiring a belly dancer is a brilliant choice. From intimate hen parties to grand weddings, belly dance performances bring energy, elegance, and a bit of the unexpected. In Manchester, you’ll find a wide variety of talented dancers ready to make your event stand out. This guide will help you understand what to expect, how to choose the right performer, and how to book with confidence.
Types of Belly Dance Entertainment
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to belly dancing. Performers offer a range of styles and formats to suit different event types and audiences. Some stick to traditional Egyptian or Turkish dance, while others incorporate modern elements, theatrical storytelling, or dramatic props.
Many dancers offer solo shows, typically 10–20 minutes long, but you can also book group performances for larger events. If you want to get your guests involved, look for interactive shows or mini workshops — these are especially popular for hen dos and birthdays. Some dancers also offer themed acts, like Arabian Nights or fire shows, which can add a bold visual spectacle.
When & Where to Book a Belly Dancer
Popular event types in Manchester include:
- Weddings
- Hen parties
- Birthday celebrations
- Corporate events
- Cultural or themed nights
Typical venues:
- Hotel function rooms
- Private homes and gardens
- Restaurants and shisha lounges
- Outdoor marquees
Whatever the venue, be sure it has enough space for movement, a smooth floor surface, and access to a sound system or electricity for the performer’s music. If props like fire or swords are involved, double-check that the venue allows them.
Pricing & What Affects It
Prices for belly dancers in Manchester typically range from £135 to £600, depending on the complexity of the performance and the experience of the dancer.
For a solo dancer performing one or two short sets with simple props, you’ll pay on the lower end. Interactive workshops and mid-range packages hover around £150–£200. If you're after a premium show with elaborate costumes, multiple dancers, or special effects like fire, the cost can go much higher.
Travel time, performance duration, day of the week, and venue requirements all affect the final quote. It’s always best to confirm what’s included upfront — some dancers bring their own sound system, while others may need you to provide it.
