Persian Wedding, October 2007
I really wanted to thank you for the excellent job that you did at our wedding. Everyone was completely captivated by you, and I do believe that one couple that was
throwing a party the following weekend was around to see if they could also get a belly dancer for their event!
Thank you so much for the wonderful performance it really made our wedding awesome!
- Jumana Kawmy, Great Falls, VA
...Absolutely enchanting! Your performance was more than anything we could have wished for to make my husband's 50th birthday celebration
even more memorable. We can't thank you enough!
- Svetlana, after my performance at Europe Restaurant, Pikesville, MD, March 2007
... I came all the way from Pennsylvania for this party as I was told you would be dancing and I couldn't miss your performance after seeing you
perform previously when I visited the DC area. As a cardiologist, I know the heart, but you dear Shadiyah, dance from your heart & soul as no
one I have ever seen. God bless you!

...Absolutely the most beautiful "Wings of Isis" performance I've seen...

Fairouz Cafe, August 2006
...Your dance is full of passion, grace and elegance. Your connection with each member of the audience makes them feel welcome
and as though they were the only person in the room.

...Balancing a tray of lit candles on her head, she is rivoting…
Taste of Morocco Restaurant, May 2006
I can't tell you what a treat it was "discovering" you last night. You are among the best belly dancers I have seen and, believe me,
having lived in Egypt, I've seen many.

Thank you! Thank you! My mother says you were beautiful and gracious. They thoroughly enjoyed your performance.
I appreciate your making this such a terrific birthday (and Father's Day).

...Your moves are so in tune with the music, it’s beautiful to watch you perform and interpret the music. You move like a native Middle Easterner.
