And happy one week wed to Vilerka + Nelson! 8/7/22, Long Island, NY 💗

Enjoyed debuting a new @sufel_boutique costume for Vilerka’s #wedding last weekend- it matched her bridesmaids and decor colors perfectly ✨💜💖✨ Always a good night when you’ve got on a #newsuit. Congrats to the happy couple and thank you so much for having me! 🥂

Happy one week wed to Aleya + George! 💕 8/6/22, Brooklyn, NY

Aleya’s mom hired me back in 2019 for their summer 2020 #wedding, which got rescheduled to summer 2021 and rescheduled again to summer 2022. 😅 So happy these two finally tied the knot after years of covid cancellations and that I got to be a part of it. It was a gorgeous celebration. 💗 Congrats @queenkhalif & @___smalldogs

About time I got caught up on all the wonderful #summerweddings of the last couple weeks. I’ve been snoozing on the social media output this summer, so here’s a bunch of posts and reels all at once! Todays the day. (Or more likely I’ll go back to my summer schedule of one post every 3 weeks 🤪- keeping my expectations low is making me feel accomplished 💪🏼)

🌈🌺💃🏻❣️ Well hello #newsuit Saturday! Thank you @bellacostmes for this gorgeous new #colorbomb sparkly! So summery and feelin very Carmen Miranda, love it! 🌹

Hair was much prettier at the beginning of the night, pre-outdoor show in which I turned into a sopping wet swamp mess in the humidity 😂

Ooof it’s been a weird couple weeks. I feel rattled in all my senses. Am trying to get back on the socials more consistently but it seems to be a take a breather moment for me.
love and rainbows to all!
🌈💖🌹

One burger with a side of leg plz! 💫🔥🔥💫
@adrianamolello and I serving body on the 4th cause disco jumpsuit party warrior priestesses protest yas please! That’s how it started. A brief update on how things have been going since for anyone waiting to hear back from me…..

Soooo…I gave myself a concussion last Monday (no one needs to know how lol). Went to get checked out on Wednesday feeling all was not well with my head and the doctor said very clearly to LIMIT ALL ACTIVITY and take it easy until my symptoms and headache went away. I did not do that. Shocking I know!

Though I still felt wonky, I followed that up with a wedding gig on Thursday, then an EPIC acting school reunion on Friday night/Sat day - AMDA Pandas! - then straight to an engagement party gig Sat night.

By Sunday, my brain started to short out completely and said SHUT IT DOWN. All work and activity halted. And it’s been the same today. It’s still not right.

I apologize for the lack of communication if you’re expecting to hear from me! Thanks for your patience and I will be in touch asap.

I think anytime you reconnect with different lifetimes you’ve lived - it can be a lot for your brain to process in itself, right? Just to add that to the concussion lol.

Reminiscing with my AMDA mates was really special, I feel another post coming eventually to share more of that time in my life and the reunion. Thank you @onarocks for bringing us together. Love you pandas ♥️🐼

Lots more rest for now. Thx. Love.Bye. Send good vibes to my noggin! 🧠

(Scroll through!) I didn’t get a photo with the bride cause the phones were all taken from the women upon entry for this totally separated Yemeni #wedding! That was a first! It was a super beautiful event, thank you so much Donya for inviting me. 💕

And #congrats to Richie & Hema’s #engagement 🥂

Off to another one tonight- now that I’ve recovered from festivities earlier this week. Might’ve gotten a teeny tiny concussion but I’m good to go now (hopefully lol) #weddingseason2022 has been so good. I’ll catch up and share more eventually…
Happy July!

#audienceparticipation with the littles 😍🥰💜 Crazy cuteness from Jesselle’s #arabiannights #sweet16 on Saturday.

These bright moments from the weekend’s gigs felt good and definitely helped manage the rage i and most of us are feeling since Friday. 😡 It’s tiny but mighty like these sweet ones dancing in their light 💖

More to come!

Im very backed up on content I intend to post cause….well, news has been horrific of late, life has been a roller coaster, and churning out content for capitalistic driven social media as much as I normally do hasn’t really aligned with my insides. Not that anyones paying attention I’m sure, but just saying….take care of yourselves and do what ya need to do! If you need to pause, slow down and stop pushing yourself to be better all the time…it’s ok.

Ya’ll I am the coolest New Yorker I know right now (for like 2 days at least) and definitely earned my badge of nyc notoriety for getting featured in @newyorknico’s Sunday post! 😎

Here I am dancing at the Greek Jewish Festival on Sunday amid a masterpiece collection of famed nyc characters! 😂🥰

Ya’ll I have been saying it for years- the life of a career #nyc #bellydancer would make the most amazing documentary. It’s 💯 full of characters and cultures and bizarre niche pockets of this city one would otherwise never have access to.

Nico is the best at capturing this, so I was too delighted to be caught in the mix!! 🙌

Loved getting a nod from all the #weirdos in my world who follow him and getting famous in like a NYC cable access channel 1 kinda way. 😜 Thanks Nico!! Come to some gigs to get more flavah!!!

Fez and stache cameo is my friend Marvin Marcus! 💗

I posted lots more video clips in my story highlights on my page🎥

👏🏻This incredibly special video project my sisters and I created in honor of the coming arrival of Elena Nayiri’s daughter has finally premiered today!! 👏🏻

Please go over to FB to watch it in full at Facebook.com/newyorkcitybellydance

We originally surprised Elena at her baby shower with a version of this dance and then later recorded, choreographed and filmed it on a beautiful day in Nov 2020 when she was 8 months pregnant. 🥰

It was especially meaningful that I got to sing on this project as well. I recorded the Armenian verse in my bathtub on my laptop late one night to send back to beautiful Malaya Sol who arranged and mixed the song, played the guitar and sang vocals on the Hebrew verse and all the harmonies. With Itai Kriss on flute. ❤️

The whole experience was magical and meant so much to all of us. 💫Please watch and share!

Here’s the caption from Elena’s post I’ll repost:

Dedicated to sisterhood and motherhood, and to women's right to autonomy and access to safe healthcare.
Boundless love and gratitude to dearest friends and amazing artists who made this project come to life.

Musicians/singers:
@malayasol
@itaikriss
@laylaisis

Dancers:
@flutteringby13
@laylaisis
@elenanayiri

Music: Erev Shel Shoshanim (a folkloric Hebrew song)

Armenian lyrics adapted by Elena Nayiri in anticipation of her baby daughter’s arrival. Viana Louise was born less than two months after the recording of this video on New Year's Day 2021. “The flowers are waiting for you” 💕
