Aside from being an extremely talented performer, Samira is exceptionally professional- her passion for arts is clear and her fantastic personality dazzles during her performances.
Our guests (Persian, Italian, and American) were all amazed by her performance; we still hear from our guests how it was the best wedding they had ever attended, attributed to her performance alone!
I highly recommend working with Samira and would certainly not hesitate to book her for another event.”

“Yesterday was my father's Surprise 75th Birthday party and Samira Shuruk was the perfect choice for our entertainment for the night. I must say, I have some background in kathak, bharata natyam, and Odissi (all forms of Indian classical dance) and I was incredibly delighted with Samira's performance! She has clearly studied kathak, and holds that integrity throughout her performance. Her ability to express the songs shocked everyone, and her elegance was spell binding. She literally made a great night, a MAGICAL night that we will all remember, largely because of her performance. Her energy is professional, yet light and fun! Exactly what we wanted! My father LOVED her performance! Her song choices are nostalgic and had the entire audience engaged the entire time ... It was the most I've seen him smile in a long time. My entire family was asking for her card to hire for upcoming weddings and parties. Yeah, it was that kind of performance! If you are looking for that something special to add to your event, and you want a performance based in authentic Indian culture and heritage, you have found the right person.”
