Frequently asked questionsWhat is your Booking Policy?
A deposit of 50% is due at time of booking to confirm your reservation. The remaining balance is due upon arrival at your event, prior to performance. The deposit holds your timeslot as reserved. It is refundable up until two weeks before the event, at which point it is non-refundable unless Nadirah Joahra has to cancel. Be assured that she will only do so in the event of extreme illness or family emergency. A subsitute dancer will be arranged if you so desire at the agreed-upon fee. How do I pay?

Balance may be paid via cash, paypal, personal check or company check prior to the date of the event, or by cash or money order on the day of the event. Please contact Nadirah Joahra via e-mail or 817.4567871 for payment arrangements. How long is the show? A typical show is between 25 - 40 minutes. The dancer may use finger cymbals, swords, veils, and candles. When appropriate, the show may include audience participation, for example, the guest of honor may be asked to belly dance! What if my event runs late? Multiple bookings for a dancer on a given night are common; please plan your event carefully and coordinate with Nadirah Johara for your reserved performance time. Nadirah Johara will arrive 10-15 minutes before showtime, and will leave promptly after the conclusion of the arranged appearance. Delays resulting in a wait time between arrival and performance will be charged at a rate of $25 per 10 minutes of wait time past the agreed-upon showtime, and may result in your show being cut short due to other previously booked engagements on that same evening. Is it appropriate for children? Yes, the belly dance show is family friendly. Children often love to dance, too! Will she bring music? The belly dancer provides an Arabic music CD, or music on a device and the venue should provide the sound system (louder is better) and Bluetooth technology or adapters for music preferred. Usually the dancer will stay out of sight until the music has begun playing. What kind of music is used? Depending on your preference, music can range from classical Arabic to modern pop. Nadirah Johara's music collection also includes Bollywood hits and contemporary Turkish and Persian favorites. Is tipping appropriate? Yes. Unless the host has requested otherwise, the dancer will gladly accept tips. Tips may be tucked into the dancer's belt, or thrown above her head as a "money shower". What if I need more than one belly dancer? Ask about booking a group of beautiful, talented and professional belly dancers. Nadrah Johara collaborates with other professional troupes and artists to provide big-stage, extravaganza performances for large venues. How far in advance should I make the booking? Please be aware that Nadirah Johara's schedule fills up quickly and try to book your event as much in advance as is possible. Last-minute bookings (within 48 hours) will be charged at a higher rate. If you are flexible about the time that the show begins, last minute shows can often be worked in. However, Saturday nights during the holidays and during wedding season (May - September) tend to book out completely. What about out of town and international shows? Nadirah Johara lives in the Melbourne, FL area. Shows outside of this area will need to be booked far in advance. Can I get a sample DVD? Performance DVD's are available for agents and overseas venues considering entering into a performance contract. There are also several video clips posted on the gallery page and see Nadirah Johara’s YouTube channel. |
