I think I like the goatee. The side shave comes back this weekend. #prettyboy #menwithlonghair #trans #transguy #transmasculine (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_m4epglmz5/?igshid=1i0o1betgrlg8

I miss the stage 😭 This was the last performance I did before lockdown, in Vegas at the @tribal_massive. I hope I can get back to performing soon, once it’s safe.

Makeup look from last night when I did my fun little performance. Soft greys and even a little pink. And while I haven’t had the courage to shave my undercut back I did shave my face into a goatee. I like it! Also this makeup look is available on my Patreon, go to patreon.com/kamrahbellydance #bellydance #bellydancer #maledancer #malebellydancer #dancer #performer #prettyboy #meninmakeup #transguy #transmasculine #menwithlonghair (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gehe8liMX/?igshid=tz7qszxvv2nv

Come get sweaty with me today! My first online class is at NOON CST! I’m trying out the platform and seeing how it goes in my tiny “studio” space. Join me for some great fusion drills and hopefully no technical glitches. Class is donation based, join for as little as $1! #onlineclasses #bellydance #bellydancer #maledancer #malebellydancer #dancer #trans #transmasculine #transandshirtless #menwithlonghair (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_aEuGFlrda/?igshid=wt7x6kd2l1c

Here we gooooo! Online classes start next week (after my drills test this weekend), assuming everything goes well with the @crowdcasthq platform! I have three options for you. Beginner fusion will show you the ropes if you’ve never done belly dance or fusion before. And then int/adv drills will melt your brain as we layer and drill unusual movements. Good for those wanting a tough challenge. Then sweat it all out in a no-think-just-dance cardio belly dance class on FIRST Saturdays ONLY! Sign up through Crowdcast, link is in bio. All classes are drop-in friendly, sign up whenever you want! #bellydance #bellydancer #maledancer #malebellydancer #dancer #onlinedanceclass #quarantine #quarantinelife (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_YDKQ_FYEB/?igshid=7spf28eia866

Hehe a fun one for @kindviolet’s #dancersonsocialchallenge! An edited video of some kind - and I sped this one up. I’m working on learning other dancers’ choreo (since this social isolation has killed all my creativity for now) and this is one from @zoejakes from @thedaturaonline. It’s a sped up, sweaty practice version but as I’m missing performing I’m going to get all sparkly this weekend and film it for real. Watch for it next week! #bellydance #fusion #fusionbellydance #bellydancer #maledancer #malebellydancer #zoejakes #choreography #dancer #dancersofinstagram #menwithlonghair #dancepractice #quarantine #quarantinelife (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XoViqFhM7/?igshid=1g02j6l2pce1w

Quarantine update: went out for supplies today (😆) with my mask from @draconis.dances and immediately got misgendered. No one can see the beard and I should probably shave most of it off anyway for the mask. Sigh. I guess there are more important things to worry about but it still stings that I have to cover up the only thing that ensures people gender me correctly. Selina is doing a little bit better. She goes back to the vet on Monday to check how she responds to the insulin. She was too sick this week to go back to the vet. I’ve been nursing her back to some semblance of health with subq fluids, insulin injections, appetite stimulants, sponge baths, and lots of cuddling. Her spirits are up and she’s yelling a lot more but she’s still not eating as much as she should. This has been a ROUGH week. Here’s to hoping next week is better, and I can finally get some Patreon content up and online classes started! 🤞 #quarantinelife #quarantine #cat #catsofinstagram (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_IQA3tFqKA/?igshid=19mlcda4hzp2b

Golden boy look from tonight ❤️ Feels so good to perform but wow is it weird to get all fancy to dance in your living room 😆 #bellydance #bellydancer #maledancer #malebellydancer #dancer #prettyboy #meninmakeup #trans #transmasculine #guyswithlonghair (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_GqJPOFQm4/?igshid=35um7uepl2ii

I miss the stage. I miss performing for a crowd. I miss that rush of adrenaline right before stepping out from behind the curtain, that feeling of excitement and nervousness. Here’s to hoping it will all come back soon (but of course I’m good with keeping to quarantine until the danger has passed).

Being honest: not doing so great. On Saturday my cat’s health went downhill fast. I was able to take her to the vet and found out she has diabetes, a UTI, and possible kidney issues. We’re back at the vet today to check up on her progress. It’s been an adjustment getting her into a feeding schedule so I can give her insulin. Before this I thought I was doing okay but this has definitely knocked me down. The vet visit and medication is *extremely expensive* and I’ve lost all my gigs and almost all my future gigs. It’s depressing that I don’t know when I’ll perform on stage again. It hit me that if I have no dance income I can’t really dance. I can’t go to events, I can’t go to classes unless I have that income. And now I’m worried about my sick cat and all the vet bills. I haven’t been able to get my online classes going and feel kind of behind on that and don’t have the energy/space/spoons to work on it. Today I have to do my day job but I can’t concentrate on it and all I want to do is sit in my bed and lose myself in a video game to escape. I could really use some cheering up. #dancersonsocialchallenge with @kindviolet https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7O7tSlq79/?igshid=i9cfgliwvbe6

Last night Betty (the sourdough starter) gave me their second offering: rosemary thyme garlic crackers. I’ve never baked crackers before and have no space to roll them out. It was an adventure 😆😆 They look horrible but taste amazing with my vegan cheddar cheese. And I know everyone hates on vegan cheese but when you haven’t had real cheese in years without being sick it’s not so bad 🤣 I know I know. They’re too thick and not golden enough. Leave me alone with my first crackers ever 😂😂 #kamrahgoesvegetarian #quarantinelife #quarantinebaking #vegan #vegetarian (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-2bLBIFulC/?igshid=4mrgh1y7d27p

Pardon the current mess but here’s what came yesterday, my big package (😆). Online dance videos here I come! I’m going to need a few days to figure out set up and get my apartment cleaned out of the ENORMOUS boxes and then I’ll be ready to film! Yay!! #bellydance #bellydancer #maledancer #malebellydancer #dance #onlineclasses #onlinedanceclasses #quarantinelife (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zMTujlxVi/?igshid=1inqftb5i6jv

I’m going to indulge myself for this week’s #dancersonsocialchallenge and post TWO videos of my favorite collaborations. One is from pre-transition and the other is post-transition 😁😁 First is the fun little drum solo I did with @draconis.dances for Migrations. We worked for months, long-distance, and then because of flight delays and cancellations we had about one hour to practice together in person before we had to perform it on stage. It was pretty wild but tons of fun. Second is my pre-transition performance with @raksgeek (doing one of our non-geeky performances before we started Raks Inferno) at the White Cat Cabaret. I love working with @dawnxianamoon and @leelegancedance ❤️ Our strengths compliment each other really well, and it’s always a true collaboration. We’ve been working on more but quarantine has been making that difficult lol. We’ll definitely do more in the future though!

I made the mistake of telling my workout app that I now have a pull-up bar and it punished me with ALL THE PULL-UPS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #gymboy #gymboi #workout #gym #gymlife #homeworkout #quarantinelife #quarantineworkout #fitness #fitnessmotivation (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sqq1clFGJ/?igshid=m2ldlht2a0t8
