#Fridaymood brought to you by these fun live #drum

#Fridaymood brought to you by these fun live #drumsolo moments with band El Asdiqaa earlier this year.
💖Because healthy amounts of humor and humility make for the best performances, and the best medicine in life.
💖And if you all tangled up in stuff that’s holding you back - let that sh$t go!
💖 If you got no idea what’s happening, just relax and enjoy the ride.

Who else loves an epic 8 minute drum solo full of laughter and surprises? 🙋🏻‍♀️

📣Coming soon: workshops and online offerings on #performanceskills and #acting for #bellydancers. #performancecoaching and #privatelessons available now.

🫶🏼Big love for my friend Said Fahmy who always keeps it interesting and #tabla soloist Yousef Diabes with Maurice Chedid and Nabawy Mo. And of course @djamnyc for producing these wonderful shows 🙌
BETTER WITH SOUND

That one time that me, Mariyah and Sira went on the Dr. Oz show. 😂

As cringy as it was to watch him run for congress, seeing his face so often made me chuckle remembering this gig lol

Hiring bellydancers to talk about the benefits of argan oil and demonstrate how we use it was so silly, but we had a blast doing it together- it still hits 9 years later. 🤣🤣🤣

Felt like the right moment to dig this up and share. I’m so happy he lost. 😄🙌

I’ll put a link in my story to the full segment. With @flutteringby13 and @bellydancernyc 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

Hiii! So, an overdue update of what’s current with the last pic in a big ole phone dump of last week’s #weddings and gigs!

October was nonstop with a triumphant end to the busiest #weddingseason since 2019. 🙌

Sadly, I’ve had to take off all of this weekend because my dogs went bad! 🦶🦶

Recovering from something called hallux rigidus or stiff big toe, which sounds way sexier than it is. 😂 At least it’s fun to say. The steroid shot I got in my foot, though? 💉Hellllllllll no. Nope. Worst pain I ever experienced in my life! 🤬😨😣 Do not recommend.

Although, i guess it worked and I should be cleared to go back to work next weekend. 🙏

👉10 snaps of happy moments last week. 💕Congrats and love to:

🥂Diana & Taylor at Lands End on Friday
🥂Shoshana & Doug at Tappan Hill on Saturday
🧞‍♀️Maysoon’s 1st birthday on Sunday, preceded by
💃🏻 @alaturkany on Thursday and
🐍 the most special concert on Tuesday with my soul mother @terre_roche at City Winery celebrating her book release (another post on this to follow)
🩼Aaaand lastly, the condition I’m in now ☹️

Hit me up if you know about #halluxrigidus and what helps! Or with costume ideas for this ugly recovery shoe. And all the Halloween parties!! Can’t believe I have the weekend off….for once a Halloween weekend without having to be a damn Princess Jasmine once! 😝

Have a wicked weekend loves 🖤🦴🕸💫

Last Thursday in Boston at The New England Conservatory of Music with drummers @zafertawil and @michael_joseph_burdi. We had a blast celebrating Uzo, who threw an epic multicultural music and #dance shindig in honor of beating cancer 💗🎉🙌 More of these please! Such a beautiful way to celebrate life and the arts, thank you Uzo!!!

Macedonian Circumcision parties be like….
Lucky is my life that this is just another Friday night at the office for me. 🥰 Live #drumsolo with #seidosalifoski… yes please!!! Favorite. Thank you Seido! ❤️

And of course a #circumcisionparty has to include a #sword #dance to a slow 9/8 by Souren Baronian. Topped off by a live #Macedonian version of Mohammed Ramadan’s Number One. Amazing.
This was last Friday…I have a lot of catching up to do here, so many amazing end of summer events I’ve danced at, I’m truly grateful!
🙏🥰

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 Saturda

🌈🌺💃🏻❣️ 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 🥂
