Real Stories from Our Events

“What made Oriental Vibes special wasn’t just the incredible teaching — it was the feeling of being part of something beautiful. The atmosphere was so friendly and unpretentious. You could dance your heart out and then share a raki with someone you just met. 100% recommend!”

Sofia, Thessaloniki

“Watching the Trojan War Bellydance Theater was absolutely captivating. The storytelling, the emotion, the choreography—everything came together in such a powerful way. I never imagined bellydance could be so theatrical and moving. It felt like watching an ancient myth come alive in the most beautiful form.”

Christina P.

“Your fanveil workshop was simply amazing! I learned so much and felt completely inspired. The way you break down technique while keeping the joy and flow of the dance alive is a rare gift. I left the class feeling empowered and full of new ideas to explore. Thank you!”

Kuriaki, Cyprus

“That night was unforgettable! The energy, the performances, the crowd—our club has never been so alive. It was the fullest we’ve ever seen the place, and people are still talking about it. Thank you for bringing such a vibrant and professional event to Onar.”
