I'm new at talking into a camera, can you tell?
My Patre0n community is growing every month, and I'd love to see you there! It's a deeply unhinged, profoundly silly place in which I share costume tutorials and close ups, makeup how-tos, dance and movement drills, blogs, and an unsettling amount of behind the scenes content. ...Not to mention an absurd number of homemade, ultra-specific memes of dubious humor. Putting my "art school drop out" skills to good use, as often as possible.
New videos and content are added every week across all tiers. It's linked in my highlighted stories under "Patre0n content" or in my bio.

An incredible honor to be welcomed into someone's home to help them celebrate a milestone! Just a couple snaps from this Saturday's Raqs Sharqi and Fusion Bellydance party booking.
It was an absolute joy to ring in this occasion with such an enthusiastic crowd!

Dancing a drum solo on glass bottles? Seems like a natural escalation to me! 🤷♀️
Playing with merging an Egyptian drum solo (and all its fabulous Raqs Sharqi/Bellydance isolations) with Bottle-Walking.
🎵 "Drum Solo" Gamal Goma.

Please excuse my authentic "Thinking Faces."
Getting my nerves out prior to my closing solo by improvising to music I've never heard before: another performer's gorgeous high-speed drum solo!

Working my way towards comfort with this turns sequence on bottles.
Continuous half turns, with a bonus accidental challenge of different heights of bottles. Forgive the assorted tissue paper ( a take on dry theatrical "blood" from my Bottle-walking vampire act for @nightshadeburlesque )
Inspired in part by @bekahburke 's immaculate pionte shoe work and turn sequences.

The stakes might not be higher, but they are certainly ✨️narrower✨️. Training my bottle walking routine on true champagne bottles.

Look at these lovely dancers! @devindances and Scarlett blessed my weekly class a few weeks ago by dancing with me (doing my Redfern Rattlesnake combo, named for @rachael.redfern iykyk).
If you're interested in learning my "something old, something new" style of fusion belly dance, I teach a weekly all-levels belly dance class Wednesday evenings at 5:45p at Nocturna ! I draw most of my training and inspiration from the 90s and early 00s era of belly dance in the US, rooted in a vintage West Coast Am-cab foundation inflected with intergenerational accents.

What better place for a few close-saves than a historic 1920s Speakeasy?
