Everyone was mezmerized by her performance which was exactly what we wanted. She engaged the whole room and made it a night to remember. From the moment she entered the room all eyes were on her. Her talent is beyond words! Thank you Layla!

LAYLA TAJ IS A RADIANT JEWEL!I sponsored an exclusive private cocktail party honoring a famous guest in Manhattan.She arrived a little early with her assistant.They both were very professional in the manner which they worked with me.Her performances put my guests in a trance..both women and men were in awe by her sensual movements and her undeniable beauty (simply stunning!).Not only do I recommend her highly but I have already booked her for another event.Layla Taj is an outstanding performer !Thank you so very much Miss Taj!

Layla is a super star!!!WOW ,what a gorgeous dancer!!!!I had a party with some VIP's and a few celebrities..we all know how jaded they can be but still Layla Taj left them speechless!It is so worth it to book a dancer who is the real deal.There is no comparison between a dancer who learns this second hand and a dancer like Layla Taj who is connected to the dance through her heritage. SHE DOESN"T EVEN NEED PROPS...she was so amazing!!! Her Shimmies and movements kept all the eyes of my guests glued to her!!!Her charisma and oriental charm was so in abundance that we all fell in love with her !!!Thanks a million Layla!!!!

Layla Taj is a classy, model gorgeous dancer who absolutely dazzled my guests.I wanted a dancer from middle eastern heritage who has the feeling in her blood.The guests at my wedding were well traveled and sophisticated.It was imperative that I get the best belly dancer in the America not just in New York.I saw Layla on T.V and we hired her right away.there was no need to shop around. She is high art and a legend .Everyone adored her.

I heard about Layla Taj from friends so I googled her name and she came up on gigmasters site...I was so lucky!!!I booked her for my husbands birthday party.The whole family was present including the children.She is so sweet and friendly .I made no requests,I left the performance up to her.Well,she was absolutely stunning gorgeous and an amazing talent!She turned my living room into Lincoln Center!!!I thought I was in a dream..and my husband(the birthday boy),he was having the time of his life. I've hired other belly dancers before but they were just passable performers compared to Layla."LAYLA THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HERITAGE DANCE WITH US.YOU WERE SENSATIONAL!!"

I would like to take this opportunity to give a Thousand thanks to Layla and her manager! Layla your performance, professionalism and your personality made the 1st ever Bridal Shower I have thrown a total success! Even though my guests all showed up late (including the person providing the boom box) your understanding and compassion about the situation helped me relax and your manager saved the day by setting up your own boom box inconspicuously making your performance a pleasant surprise to my guests! My guests had nothing but compliments regarding the performance and raved about the lesson. So here it is 10 stars for you! Thank you sooo much! Betsy

Layla was great. I am Egyptian and have seen many belly dancers over the years, many good and many not so good. Layla was great and her Egyptian heritage shines through. She does a show that includes all the props you could ask for, but most importantly, her underlying dancing technique is very strong and authentic. She doesn't just walk from place to place, every step is filled with action and excitment. She is also very attractive and got along well with our guests. I would definitely recommend her for any event.

Layla was a wonderful dancer and lovely to work with. Because of her Egyptian heritage, she offered suggestions to make the presentation even more authentic and artistic. The most amazing moment of the show was when she did the sword dance, moving gracefully while balancing a sword on her head. It was breathtaking...nobody could take their eyes off of her!

Layla Taj is awesome. I got her to perform at my wedding and it was great. I was so excited i found an Egyptian belly dancer because I myself am Egyptian and wanted to represent my culture and she did that. She had all of my guests engaged and on their feet, which was great because not all of my guests were Arabic. I would totally recommend her for your event. She is very accommodating and so nice , very pleasant to have worked with her.

Having a belly dancer for my husbands birthday was a real winner!
Layla arrived on time - she had to wait a little before she could perform and I really appreciated her patience - she really worked the room and the crowd enjoyed the additional entertainment for the evening. She was very professional and my guest really enjoyed her.
It was great doing business with her. If your looking for the best in NYC Layla's ur girl.

I hired Layla Taj to perform at a wedding.It was the best decision of the year!The wedding guests were captivated by her dance performances.She opened with a candle tray dance and my guests were drawn to her....she really looked breathtaking.I was so proud!!She put together a perfect show.I've seen other belly dancers before but there is really no comparison.She was sexy and very elegant.I paid a little more for her performance because her descent is Egyptian, but it was worth it! I didn't want to take a chance for a wedding. My instinct was right. I had the best dancer in the world!!! Thank you Layla Taj.
