Andalee is available for public and private performances in the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, & Chapel Hill) and beyond. She'll provide a family-friendly experience with all the glitz and glam that people come to expect from belly dancers. Send an e-mail to andalee@andaleedance.com to ask about performance availability and rates.

Andalee's belly dance shows feature a mix of exciting and sultry music, although they can be tailored to your preference. The sets are usually 10-minutes long and feature a lively entrance, a glamorous, professional costume, and usually some sort of prop for added drama, like a veil or cane. Andalee doesn't mind personalizing her sets, so if you want some in particular, just ask!
