Feedback
- I'm so happy we found the Belly Twins! What a fantastic addition they were to our preschool's enrichment program. Totally professional, on time, gracious, engaging, and very sweet with the children. They spoke first about Bollywood, India and described their festive attire prior to performing. All the kids were completely captivated from start to finish. After they danced, the performers placed bindi's on the girl's foreheads and a sash turban on the boys, then taught everyone some classic Bollywood moves. Everyone was up on their feet dancing and smiling ear to ear....even the boys! Thank you, Belly Twins, you were wonderful! -- Jennifer T, Woodland Hills, CA, 3/7/2012
