The Birth of a Vision
Safire Belly Dancers was founded by Vanessa Oliveira and Ashorina, two dynamic women who shared a profound love for belly dancing and a vision to bring this beautiful art form to a wider audience. What started as a small dance troupe has blossomed into a full-fledged entertainment company, offering a range of services that include performances, workshops, and classes.
Vanessa and Ashorina’s journey began with a simple mission: to celebrate the richness of Middle Eastern dance and culture while providing a platform for women to express themselves artistically. Their passion and dedication quickly resonated with the local community, and Safire Belly Dancers became synonymous with high-quality, authentic belly dance entertainment.

A 5-star testimonial from a happy customer
I am an Egyptian-American who has spent much of my childhood and adulthood living in the Middle East, so I have seen my fair share of belly dancing performances (Sherihan even wanted a picture with me when I was a cute little kid in Cairo ;) ) Finding quality belly dancers for my wedding in the U.S. seemed like a very overwhelming and borderline impossible task.
I stumbled upon Safire Belly Dancers of Chicago during online research and was instantly blown away by their skill, beauty of costumes, and professionality. Also, it was refreshing to finally find performers that were trained and educated in the culture and history behind belly dancing, not just some blonde girls practicing culture appropriation (most of the other options I had found. :/)
From the very start of my communication with Vanessa and Ashorina, I knew I had made a perfect choice. They were so sweet and responsive, assuring me that they would create a fully Egyptian focused routine for my wedding. They even offered to start up dabke before they left, which was a huge hit with my guests! The cost of the performance is very affordable, especially for the quality of performance you receive in return. They communicated and coordinated flawlessly with my DJ, and were prompt and ready to go right on time!
I can honestly say that Vanessa and Ashorina's amazing performance was the highlight of my wedding. The half-hour went by too fast, and we could have watched them all night. Our guests will still not stop talking about how entertaining and energetic the show was, how beautiful the costumes and props were, and how much fun they had! V. and A. even incorporated my husband, bridesmaids, and I into the show, and we have photos and videos to sustain a lifetime of fantastic memories! Our Arab and Egyptian guests commented on how authentic and impressive the performances were, a true testament to the talent of Safire Belly Dancers!
Do yourself a favor and hire Safire Belly Dancers for any and every occasion you can think of...I am certainly looking for the next excuse to throw a big party so that I can! Alf alf shukran, Vanessa and Ashorina! :)
