Our belly dancer was incredible from start to finish! She was very helpful in planning the surprise entertainment for my friend's 50th birthday party. She kept in contact and made sure everything was perfect. The performance was so mesmerizing! All of our guests absolutely loved her! She interacted with everyone and got them involved in the show. We could not have been happier! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Theresa and her troupe of professional, exotic belly dancers, exceeded my expectations for a memorable night of fun, fearless, fabulous, females creating a real sense of true friendship and comradery for my new journey of beginners level belly dance lessons. Theresa also impressed me with her energetic and creative choreography skills, demonstrating patience and compassion while upholding and honoring this traditional middle eastern dance style.

I've been to HoA's yearly Belly Dance Competition for the last four years and it's always top tier. Everyone is incredibly nice and the performances are always very good and a blast to watch. The troupe is also fantastic and I've seen them on a number of occasions and really enjoy their performances. Lots of talent here!

This dance group is by far the best Middle Eastern dance group in Kansas City. Not only the group members are well educated, but they are professionals, dance from their hearts, full of emotions, and they want to show the best possible results.
We have worked with this group for several years and they have never disappointed us.
We wish them all the best and looking forward to work with Theresa and her team in many happy occasions to come.
