I am not a client. I am an independent dancer. Over the years, Neenah often invited me to work with her. She was wonderful to work with and I was proud to work with such a professional group.

These Belly dancers are great for all occasions!   Family Friendly and Super Professional.   We had Neenah dance at our father’s birthday who turned 90 and our whole family loved her and thought she was amazing.   She brought coloring books for the kids.   She dance for him when he turned 80.   We cannot wait for her to come back when he turns 100.   We love you Neenah!

I would like to thank Neenah for performing at my husband’s 40th birthday. Everyone at the party from age 2 to 65 enjoyed her performance. She involved the party goers, so that everyone had fun.

Planning a party can be very stressful. My original performer canceled on me at the last minute and Neenah saved me. My friends are still talking about Neenah’s performance. She was very elegant and graceful to say the least. Men and women both appreciated her performance. She was on time and prepared. Her performance is one that I will never forget and I would fully recommend her to any of my friends for a party. Again, thank you very much Neenah.

I know Neenah personally and professionally to be a high class dedicated act on and off the stage.

NEENAH

Neenah, the house and feature dancer at Cafe Istanbul, is the owner of Authentic Belly Dancing Entertainment & Academy and director of its professional troupe “The Harem Jewels.” Hailed by the local press as the “Queen of Quarters and Shot Glasses” and “Dallas’ Favorite Belly Dancer,” Neenah is total entertainment and is in constant demand for her performances as a soloist and with her Awesome Troupe “The Harem Jewels”. Neenah feels privileged working with the Harem Jewels and loves them because as she says not only are they hardworking, but so down to earth and dedicated to the dance. With her energy and love for the beautiful art of belly dance, Neenah continues to focus on the retro-style form of entertainment which she refers to as Vintage Style. She received early training from Angelika and Zeyna, who were star performers in Dallas during the 1980’s and 90’s, well known for their stage presence, excellent musical interpretation and unmatched dance style. In addition to teaching classes and directing the troupe, Neenah performs and teaches seminars around the country, and is preparing to take on more opportunities to perform internationally both as a soloist and with her troupe.

AADAH

Shimmying my way through life, one hip circle at a time I’m a belly dance enthusiast and passionate about the art of movement. I dance for the joy it brings me, the thrill of performance, and the sense of community. When I’m not working, you can find me practicing my isolation, perfecting my props, or dancing the night away at a local special event. Dance is my happy place, my stress relief, and my creative outlet. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my love of belly dancing with others and inspire them to find their own rhythm and movement. As a member of the Harem Jewels, I am in awe of all the experiences and opportunities to learn and share the art of belly dancing. I love performing and meeting people who adore the Harem Jewels of Dallas!!!

LULU

I am a multi-faceted woman who wears many sparkling costumes! I’m a dedicated entrepreneur, running my own business with passion and purpose, and in my free time I transform into a belly dance enthusiast, shimmying my way through life feeding my soul with the art of belly dance with fire and grace. I’m proud to be a strong, creative, and driven woman, embracing all aspects of my life with joy and enthusiasm! As a member of Harem Jewels, I am so proud of our team as we work hard, practice, share ideas, sew costumes to prepare for all the special events we are hired for. The audience love us because we bring so much joy to them in our awesome performances.
