and facilitates the entire wedding party coming together in a celebration dance!

    Erica Garber Bridal Shower, July 2011

"Thank you for spicing things up at my Bridal Shower!!
It really made my special day fun & exciting!"

Steve & Robyn with Tahya, May 2007

"After hearing Tahya talk about how belly dancing is a dance of celebration and fits in naturally at a wedding, I knew I had to ask her to be a part of my wedding reception festivities!

The way it worked out was great. I had my formal wedding gown on all day ~ for the ceremony, for the pictures, for the toasts, for the first dance and throughout dinner. When dinner was over and it was time to dance, I changed into a fun party dress. As a surprise to my husband (he was unaware of this aspect during the planning process), she came out and performed a dance with great live drumming accompaniment right after we cut our cake.

Towards the end of her performance, she brought my bridesmaids and me on to the dance floor and had us do some moves. This allowed me to do a little dancing for everyone, which everyone complimented me on later, but I didn't have to entertain the whole room with an entire routine. (Rather I left this in Tahya's capable hands.) Then, Tahya invited my husband to stand up and guided him to do a few moves. With he and I in the middle, my bridesmaids danced around us in a circle, which was cool. THEN, and this was THE BEST PART, she taught everyone the grapevine step and she invited all our guests to come together hand-in-hand and grapevine around the whole tent. That got everyone out of their seats, ready to dance and we all danced in a joyous celebration for the rest of the night.

I encourage other brides who may want to 'belly dance' at their weddings to consider getting a few moves "under your belt" and do a little dance. Let Tahya bring you on to the dance floor, but let her handle facilitating the whole performance and getting the party started.

Tahya is great. Everyone still talks about what fun our wedding reception was."
