“Lorenda is a true performer. Her dances are alluring. With every twist, twirl and slithering snake move, the audience won’t be able to blink. Her eyes dance with the crowd. Once she brings out the wings and swords it is entertainment at its best. Coincidentally she is from Atlantic City because her act is shore to please!!”
— Massiel Diaz
“When in the Navy I was in the Mideast and have seen belly dancers; the best were in Istanbul. Lorenda is on the same professional level, plus she does it with fire. Amazing!”
— Jack Stopkoski
“Great job at our wedding … really got the party started! Fun way to add a new element to the usual stuffy events!”
— Ava A.
“The first time I met Lorenda was at an art gallery showing for which I helped provide the music for the art show. Had I known her at the time, I would have been honored to provide the music for her performanc
— Barry Ashton
“Lorenda is a vision of the sacred and divine feminine! I’ve never seen moves like hers! Mesmerizing beauty.”
— Marie Graham
“We recently had Lorenda dance for my husband’s 60th birthday party. Lorenda was great to work with from beginning to end. She was responsive to emails and phone calls. Her demeanor was professional throughout. She has a great personality and everyone enjoyed her dance. A few brave volunteers even joined her as she tried to teach us to belly dance.”
— Debby Hendricks
“I had seen Lorenda perform belly dancing in the past, even incorporating fire, and I was quite curious to learn more. Lorenda taught a beginner’s belly dancing class in my home on a couple of occasions so that I and a few friends could learn the history and practice some Middle Eastern dance moves ourselves.
“Due to my unique struggles with balance, spine alignment, and muscle movement in one leg as a result of a birth defect, I expected this class to be a challenge — for both myself and Lorenda. We were both easily able to rise to the occasion, thanks to her enthusiasm, attention and encouragement.
“Lorenda’s knowledge of belly dancing history taught me much more about this practice than I anticipated. The combination of Lorenda’s brains and beautiful dance moves inspire her audience to reflect her respectful appreciation for this cultural art form.”
— Lynne Rabchuk
“Experience the cosmic flames of belly dancing with Lorenda! As an entertainment booking agent, I see lots of belly dancers and receive enormous amounts of audition material to my agency from all over the world. When I first saw Lorenda belly dance, I knew this girl was going places as an artist. Witnessing great belly dancing is so much more than simply memorizing a choreography or going through the motions; it is about feeling the music and having a spiritually electrifying connection with the audience in an unforgettable way.
“When you watch Lorenda perform, you will enjoy an incredible, creative vortex and so will your guests. From start to finish, she takes you on a colorful, sinuous journey of the mind, body and soul. Lorenda evokes the true essence and soul of belly dancing, not just on a divine feminine level but on a human level. She has a natural passion, affinity and ability for this dance which is evident in her work and she makes it all her own.
“Lorenda ensconces the audience into a beautiful, fiery spectacle of the senses like no other. It is a sensory experience unlike anything else as she transforms your event from the typical to the extraordinary. From the moment Lorenda steps onto the stage, you are immediately mesmerized by her beauty and gorgeous costuming. Her swirling veils, great technique and fire torches will transform your event into the cosmic stratosphere. Trust me. Not only will her vast dance vocabulary keep the audience riveted, her fabulous personality and creative versatility will have your guests talking for years to come. At one of her shows you will be transported to ancient Egypt and back for an experience that is truly unique. You will not be disappointed hiring Lorenda for a beautiful show that will blow your mind!”
