📣Sound up!📣 2 weeks from today! Join me at the Greek Jewish Festival! 💙🤍💙🤍

Love this event so much and I love this clip of the #drumsolo finale with #zills to a 9/8 rhythm with my friend and amazing drummer #SeidoSalifoski

Love the communication between #dancer & #drummer, the #musicality of the #fingercymbals accompanying. Don’t love that pole though sorry 🤣
Wait for the end!

Because…you’ll see my most important advice that I give to students in action when getting off the stage, which is:

Never take yourself too seriously!! 🤣🤓

Also, last year I ended up getting featured in @newyorknico’s Sunday post and got NY cable access channel famous for a couple days. 😂 That snippet is at the end. Hope you come back this year Nico and hope to see some friendly faces there!! 😄

May 21st! I’ll be on at 4:30pm with the #NogaGroup featuring @avrampengas and many incredible musicians including Nick Mandoukos, George Stathos, Elysa Sunshine, Seido Salifoski and more. This band is 🔥🔥🔥💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Thank you to Noah for capturing this video from last year 🫶
Happy Sunday!☀️😘

✨Vintage Veil from the archives ✨🥰

I’ve been digging into my #americancabaret and #vintageoriental video vault for my performance project class and found this dreamy favorite from a show at @dromnyc ages ago. 💛

Can you tell I’m wearing #fingercymbals through all that #veilwork ?! Like the true classic #amcab #bellydancer that i am. In the lineage I learned from the dancers played #zills throughout her entire 5-7 part show and never took them off even for #slowveil. And it is all 💯 #improvistation

Excited to rework this into a choreography for my group of talented, professional students for the upcoming @secretroomnyc show on June 4th!!! Are you coming?

✨Possibly the most excellent accidental music pairing reel I’ve made yet! 🔥🔥

Posting this clip from a fun West Indian #birthdayparty last summer for two reasons:
1- Outdoor party season is here and I’m ready! Dm to book!
2- I need to MOVE this costume out! Selling this special @bellacostmes light gold and multi-color costume - bra and belt only. Wear it with any color, super festive for parties 🎉 I’ve got new ones coming so I have to rotate 😭 $450 message me for deets!

Pix from a bomb weekend of gigs.
🔥🤠💫🪬🪩🎊I was so delighted to be hired back by some favorite clients and entertain for the Eljemel Court no 171 Oasis of Ossining and Daughters of the Desert at the Corinthian Lodge Mason Hall Sunday afternoon. Amazing! A wonderful time had by all-swipe for some precious audience participation moments. 🥰

Plus new pink suit nights on both Saturday and Sunday for Yudy & Jorge’s #wedding in New Jersey and an Albanian #birthday in Staten Island.
Yay #springtime! And yay for new #bellacostumes! What do you think? Love! 💖

✨Top 2 reasons to enter a room with LED #wings✨
1. Look dope
2. While using your wing sticks to scoot dudes out of your way

Little entrance clip from a fun and fancy school fundraiser event last weekend in Manhattan at @skinos.nyc
Thanks to @soa.nyc and @magicmikedjs for the clip and lovely introduction!
And PSA to you hardworking event videographers and photographers- give the #bellydancer a wide perimeter if you don’t wanna get whacked in the face. 😂

Heyyy ya’ll, welp I’m back! I went to the Mard

Heyyy ya’ll, welp I’m back! I went to the Mardi Gras and passed a bon temps ma cheries! 🎺

I hadn’t been to carnival in a long long time - So I didn’t just go, I took a dang pilgrimage and drove to Nola and back on an epic solo road trip through Appalachia and the Smokey mountains and the south. It was a lot! It was a blast. It reminded me of who I am.

Ahhh and there she is!! 😄 More alive and in my skin than I’ve felt in a long time. 💫

Ive been back a week and I still don’t know how to sum up what went down and describe what an amazing journey it was for me. For now…let the photo dump begin!

💖Family love: Moo! Bro @jprhein cuz @jettellis
