I'm teaching online--info in bio!

We finished class last night by doing the combo to a faster-paced song. I was like "you can throw on some undulations if you want" and it turned out they were very fast. 🤣 Come for the dance combos, stay for the wacky facial expressions.™️ 😉⁠
⁠
Next Thursday (7pm EDT) we'll do a totally new sequence! Feel free to drop in--just DM me for the link.

Boy did I hate that haircut and it took forever to grow out. 😝 #tbt to an olldddd Lazuli choreography, "Visions from the Emerald Within" by Hossam Ramzy. I think we performed it like once because it was sort of boring. But it had some cute moments. 😜⁠

Uh hell yeah I got all dressed up and filmed roughly what I would have done at Yalla Raks if it hadn't been cancelled. This is "Majilyn Mejance" by Matias Hazrum.

You can watch the full thing on my newly/possibly temporarily revived youtube channel. I even created a playlist called "Studio Performances" so this looks like a real thing and not just something a crazy person is doing in her basement. #mybrand

I figure I'll do this until the end of April at least. 🙂 It's a fun, follow-along class--pay what you want. DM me and I'll add you to my list. I'll send the Zoom link out a few hours before class. Let me know if you have any questions! ⁠
⁠
BTW--I'm open to suggestions if you want another type of class! I'm thinking I might do an online Cohesion class too. But I'm sort of doing this all on the fly so I'm not organized yet!! 😅⁠

I felt the need to put on a face. We're truly in trying times. 🤣 I am still dancing but only fun times improv; nothing technical that involves self-assessment or correction. I'm too sensitive for even my own bs. 😝 I came across this improv prompt from the #lunarougecreativitychallenge : only one foot on the floor at any time (the floor is lava!! 🔥) This super fun song is "Allo Allo" by Jaylann. #omganotherinstachallenge

The nice??? thing about filming your class is you

The nice??? thing about filming your class is you can capture all these precious moments. 😆 I'm gonna do these fun times live classes on Thursday nights for at least the next few weeks. My in-person classes have been cancelled and I might move those online but I need to get recombobulated first. DM me if you'd like to be on my online class notification list! (If you took class last week you're already on it)

#tbt to December, when we could still go outside and be less than six feet away from our bros. 😭 @stereo.vision.photo photoshoot with @aliceanna.dance

My first online class was a success!!! At least I assume so because people wanna do it again next week (message me if you'd like to come)!
⭐
I watched @sahirabellydances webinar on teaching online and I think that's why everything was such a breeze. I even got a recording of the class to send out!
⭐
I also want you to know that the music in this clip is MY OWN!!! I jammed together some @bellydancecohesion loops and a Saidi variation I learned from @therhythmswithin on both drum and cymbal and had Bren loop and layer it. My playing isn't the best but it got the job done and I'm pretty proud of myself. 🥳 Anyway, I'm petitioning Bren do a dubstep remix so keep an ear out for that. 😝

I took some combos from @the_wild_child_atl 's "Unleash the Beast" DVD, remixed them without regard for her original artistic intent 😉, and set everything to "Ana Fi Intizarak" because I wanted some angst. 🤣 This version is by Cairo Orchestra. #basicbellydance
