What Other People Say About Belly Dance Brilliance Event and Wedding Entertainment
“OUTSTANDING! You truly made our event a magical night to remember…”
- Andy Smith, Tour Manager, Cirque du Soleil“She has a great personality and work well with people. She was very accommodating with the music and played every song I requested. Already some people from the party asked me for her number. I will hire her again in a second. And to top it all, she is beautiful.”
– Nicolas H. American Canyon, CA“I wanted to surprise my husband for his 40th birthday party and I was thrilled when Nyla said she was available. All of my communication with Nyla was professional and thoughtful. She asked if there was a particular song for the birthday boy to get up and dance to. He was thrilled. It was a fantastic and memorable evening, made all the more special by Nyla. She wowed us with her amazing talent and her breathtaking sword dance. I wouldn’t hesitate in the least to recommend her.
Favorite Moment: I loved it all. I loved how everything she did was a great surprise for the audience. Nyla blew people away with her sword dance. Very impressive!”
– Jean L. San Francisco, CA
