#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 n 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 s 👏🏻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” 💕

Something ridiculously #cute for your feed from a Something ridiculously #cute for your feed from a #PrincessJasmine themed 2nd birthday party on Sunday. Wait for the gal who’s all 🤯🤯🤯 watching me and is like “how is she doing that in heels??” Her face is everything 😂 She knows what’s up- I guess it does takes some skills to #bellydance while balancing a massive #candletray on your head AND balance bouncing #toddlers yanking on each hand. In heels 🤣

These littles were so precious to dance for/with. 🥰 
Soak in every sweet and joyful moment. Send it back out cause it’s a dang dark world. Maybe it helps ✨💛✨
