#DailyShimmy in my pjs. Gotta get my practice in. It's been a rough week, honestly, so I'll have more videos this weekend for the daily challenges. #21DaysOfBellyDance #bellydance #bellydancejoy #shimmy #practicemakesperfect #curvydancer #plussizedancer #dancinginmypajamas (at Northeast Minneapolis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUxEcNjA6pm/?utm_medium=tumblr

#SweetBabou been extra lovey today. @thebellydancebundle #21daysofbellydance day 11 (part 1) from @amandarosedance Shaabi Compare/Contrast Since I can't do this one physically, I'm go ahead and run it in my brain. For me, I love the more grounded, loose feeling of shaabi- though, sometimes, the energy of it completely wipes me out. Raqs Sharqi, though, has a more balletic feel - which is slightly less natural on my frame, but easier on my lungs. I love them equally, though, because they both offer ways to share the emotion of the song, as well as the dancer. Seeing what, in concept, is the same movement, done with different intensity and intent, it absolutely fascinating. #bellydancejoy #bellydance #dance #music #shaabi #RaqsSharqi #bellydancecat #catsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CGVz0iYFley/?igshid=1w6vot6hxhrc7

@thebellydancebundle #21daysofbellydance day 11 (part 2) Beledi Progression with @sabriyetekbilek I'm a few days behind now, due to my trip to the ER on Monday. I'm exhausted and my abdomen feels like a massive bruise. Hemorrhagic cyst ruptures will do that, apparently. I'm such a huge fan of beledi.... like MASSIVE fan. So much that I have a @fifiabdouofficial inspired costume and solo. Following Sabriye's YouTube channel is absolutely fueling my love for the style. Pardon me while I go fall into a #YouTube rabbit-hole while I recover. #bellydancejoy #bellydance #dance #music #beledi #baladi #FifiAbdou #bellydanceproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/CGVWq5JlVTw/?igshid=86sfomq84n3j

I couldn't participate in the past 2 days of #21daysofbellydance for @thebellydancebundle ... I got really sick yesterday and ended up in the #ER this morning. Keep dancing friends! I'll participate once its safe to start moving again. Here's a picture of my sweet non-slip socks that I got as a parting gift from the hospital. 😆 #bellydanceproblems #bellydance #dance https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQb_8vl-XE/?igshid=1mns4mk9jbscz

@thebellydancebundle #21daysofbellydance day 7 with @aubrehill Belly rolls! I love belly rolls. Love. But, unfortunately, I am physically unable to do them, and here's why.... I've had 2 abdominal surgeries since May and my belly button is a hard ball of scar tissue (as well as very sore muscles). Soon, though. Soon. #bellydance #dance #music #bellydanceproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/CGECTazFWd1/?igshid=rqzh0kkb4avf

@thebellydancebundle #21daysofbellydance day 6: Taqsim Tuesday from @bellydancesoul I played around with this song (Taksim Violin by Hamada Ali) for a good 45 minutes, trying different flowy things and whatnot. I really wanted to get some deeper, gooey movements. You can see me supporting my abs for a few things here - hooray for still taking it easy! 🤪 I decided on this section of recording for 2 reasons... 1) I liked it better than anything else I did and 2) I'm not making a pained face. This is definitely not my typical jam, but I really enjoyed it. #bellydancejoy #dance #music #bellydance #taksim #taqsim https://www.instagram.com/p/CGBVQvvgjEU/?igshid=22gfpyhqe5z1

@thebellydancebundle #21daysofbellydance Day 5: the signature hip movement of Nabaweya Mustafa with @shiningpeacekeeper This was harder than I thought - in a few ways. I've been off dance for a while, so my hips are super tight. As well, I'm still nursing a knee injury. Added to that, my abdominal muscles are still very much healing, and my right side is still tender. The drop motion was really difficult (and the reason why I couldn't really drill this or go for too long). I'm definitely saving this for when I'm back in the game! I'm going to take some Aleve now. 😆😭😑 Music by Radio Laria Song: Three Quarters Album: Three Quarters EP #bellydancejoy #bellydance #dance #music #bellydanceproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-3NVTAUfl/?igshid=1vnjnqrflaj96
