A freestyle during the @houseofsuraj performance at @ukblackpride 2025 By the way I dislocated my shoulder about 5 minutes earlier 😅 What a beautiful day full of love 🥰 🌈 🎶: Work it remix by @ethanxtomas #houseofsuraj #fyp #amapiano #pantsula #amapianodance

Goal achieved: no dislocated limbs this year 🦾! Here’s my preliminary round at the all styles battle at @stockholmtapfestival . TBH I just wanted to dance while @lekwesito , played and I didn’t care about getting through, but this round got me to top 8! #stockholmtapfestival #allstylesbattle #dance #house #waacking #asianauntie #titavibes #housedance #growthmindset #practicemakesprogress #fyp

Join me in wishing @tinemachine1 a Happy Birthday! My gift for her this year is a tribute to Charles Schulz and Yayoi Kusama featuring Tine as Lucy/Yayoi, me as Schroeder/Kusama’s pumpkin and our neighbourhood cat as Snoopy. #art #yayoikusama #peanuts #happybirthday #illustration

Woke up for the 17,166th time. Happy level 47 to me! Sometimes I forget how long I’ve been on this earth, for a second I thought it was my 37th birthday 😆 Aging is such a privilege and I’m grateful my body is stronger and healthier than it was when I was in my 20s. My elder advice this year is to keep on dancing and lift weights. Use it or lose it! Also creatine is the new thing I’ve added this year and it is helping with brain fog and muscle recovery #beigedontage #asiandontraisin #likefinewine🍷

My legs were very sore (please excuse the sloppiness) but I could not resist doing a little freestyle in this gorgeous studio. What a treat to dance to a modern jazz song with a big band feel! Is this my return to jazz? 🤗 🎶: @raye #jazzdance #solojazz #charleston #sadlerswellseast #raye

I might be too young for this trend but here it goes. Fun facts: -I’m wearing my varsity cheerleading letterman’s jacket from the 90’s in the first video. -I’m only 13 in the first pic after my current video. Why was I was so cute?! -In the last pic I have no idea who that guy is, I was an extra in a movie called Boys and Girls, that was shooting at my school, UC Berkeley and they wanted me to be the the valedictorian in a graduation scene. Not completely far from the truth because I was valedictorian of my high school in 97! 👩‍🎓 #whatwereyoulikeinthe90s #beigedontage #asiandontraisin #90s

Gratitude post! 3 months ago I was crippled in South Africa and couldn’t stand, walk, or even lay down without being in excruciating pain. I thought it might be a herniated disk or something due to the intense pantsula I was training. After a couple of hospital and acupuncture visits, a doctor saw from the blisters on my foot that it was shingles. I was given stronger painkillers and antibiotics and I was jumping, squatting and doing the most within days! I’m very blessed that it wasn’t an injury that was going to take months to heal. I feel even better than before I left for SA. I am so grateful to have the ability to keep on dancing at this big age 🥰 1-hospital IV first visit 2- Survivor in Orange farm 3-Pansula in Orange Farm 4- Rasta Falls in Durban 5- Hiking was a surprise so I didn’t think I would be sockless in special edition New Balances. Thought the blisters could have been from stepping on a plant 6-learning from @durbanroyale from the floor 7- there is no dancing to Gqom without crazy voshos 8- New friends at the Red Bull battle. Couldn’t dance 🙁 9-getting more drugs in hospital visit number 2 10- Dog visitors in A&E to cheer us up! 11- Attempting to not dance while Tebza teaches 12- Could not resist and got up to do it at the end 13- Almost good as new and doing the most with King 14- Look at all that squatting with Usivile! 15- At least I had an amazing view when I was in pain #dance #pantsula #survivor #amapiano

Previously I was very scared of battles, but today approached @adc_event as dancing for 40 seconds so I can make people smile and also get a discount on entry 🤣. I was much more relaxed and had fun. It was nice to feel supported by HomeNation family 🥰 It was all styles on Afro music so there’s a mish mash that came out…waacking, tap, Afro house. I’m chuffed that I got a tiny bit of Survivor 🇿🇦 in at the last second! #adcevent #homenation #dance #survivor #waacking

Survivor with @wizzy_untouchable340 at @drs.dance_camp Pantsula intensive, November 2025. Love this style and look forward to learning more! #untouchableentertainment #survivor #gqom #dance

Can’t be bothered to do the Bebot challenge , but here’s me 26 years ago or so back when I was a bebot (Tagalog for baddie) Go Bears! #bebotchallenge #beigedontage #asiandontraisin #bebot #ucberkeley

Pantsula training in Soweto with @tebzadiphehlo , December 2025 A full circle moment of being in the actual space of where he was teaching zoom classes when I was learning from a distance in London over the years . What a blessing to learn at the source and not from tik tok Also quite proud of myself because just a week earlier I was crippled from shingles attacking my nervous system. Had to take strong painkillers in the middle of the class 😅🥴 Dancing with @maxhlonimathikge @mdnmardiana @dianabanannah as part of the @gossatravel trip #pantsula #soweto #satiktok #dance
