  • What's the perfect gift for the Birthday Girl who has everything and is almost impossible to surprise? Belly Dance to the rescue! 💃🏻 Thursday night I had the pleasure of performing for this crazy fun group from New York (these are just the ladies!) for Andrea's epic birthday week in Orlando. This show was a fun one with a Latin fusion playlist, lots of audience participation and some CIA-level detective work to make my entrance a surprise 😜 And most importantly, the secret ingredient - an awesome crowd ❣ Thank you Michelly and Monica for making me part of such a fun party! #bellydance #bellydancer #orlandobellydancer #bellydancerinorlando #birthdaypartyentertainment #birthdaypartyideas #birthdaypartyinspo #orlandoentertainment #birthdayweekend #orlandofl #kissimmee
  • Today's adventures brought me to Winter Garden - or shall I say Agrabah - for a fabulous 5th birthday for Princess Isabella! My show followed an appearance by Jasmine and Aladdin. Great times were had both by the little ones and the adults in the royal court 💃🏻🧞‍♂️ and I even saw some friendly faces from previous shows! Thank you Christina for making me part of such a special day! ❤ #bellydance #bellydancer #bellydancersofinstagram #bellydancerinorlando #orlandobellydancer #princessparty #princesspartyorlando #kidsbirthdayparty #aladdin #princessjasmine
  • That time @vanjadance and I performed a fancy all-white pop-up dinner party at a surprise top secret location....and I'm talking, so secret we had to sign an NDA 😜 Here are just a few of my favorites from Diner En Blanc. Thanks @phixelsphoto for the pics! #bellydancer #bellydance #dinerenblanc #dinerenblancorlando #winterpark #winterparkflorida #orlandonightlife #orlandoevents #whiteparty
  • It's a wrap! 💃🏻💃🏻 Tonight, I danced the night away at @bellacollinaweddings with these beautiful neyweds, Tatiana and Raul! This fairytale wedding was straight out of Bollywood from the decor and entertainment to the bride's fabulous attire. (I am still swooning over the details!) What a wonderful night. Thank you Tatiana for trusting me with your special day, and thanks to our vendor dream team @nicolesquaredevents @bellacollinaclub and @ourdjrocks 🥰 #bellydance #bellydancer #bellydancersofinstagram #orlandobellydance #orlandobellydancer #bellydancerinorlando #orlandoweddings #orlandowedding #bellacollina #bellacollinaweddings #multiculturalwedding #bollywood
  • Professionalism and rates seem to be a hot topic among my friends in the Orlando community this week 🔥🔥🔥 So here is my unsolicited advice for anyone entering the business or wanting to up their game: 1. Find a teacher, mentor or more experienced friend to offer advice and moral support in your journey. Even after 15 years, I still reach out to more seasoned dancers for help - no shame in it. 2. PLEASE learn the rates and respect what working professionals charge. Don't undercut! Going rates are a minimum for pros of all levels. For some of us, dance is just a hobby, but for most of us it's a real business and a means to pay the bills. With the cost of living skyrocketing in Orlando, it makes more sense to give ourselves a raise than to roll our prices back to the 1980's. So let's work together. 3. Put in the work and be in it for the long haul. Yes, there are experienced pros booking tons of cool jobs and posting glam pics on Instagram. Yes, it's normal to get jealous of this as a newbie. Hang tight, work hard, your day will come. It won't come any faster by undercutting, ripping off anyone's style, partnering with predatory booking agents, mystery shopping the competition on lead generating sites, or acting shady. Patience, hard work and inner fortitude lead to "overnight success" you see on Instagram. Whoooa, mind blown 🤯 4. RESPECT THE CULTURE. We are not just sparkly go-go dancers. Every time we go on a gig, we are representing real people and a real culture. Immerse yourself in it and be grateful. We are borrowing our art, so give it back in mint condition. 5. Be Nice. Build relationships. Befriend the "competition." If you're new in town or new in the industry, pick up the phone and call a bunch of pro dancers. Some will blow you off. Some will become your biggest allies and advocates. I personally give back to my friends, whether that's including them in a multi-dancer show, sending them my overflow, or referring them for a specialty I don't offer. Even if you dislike someone in the industry, stay in your lane. Be happy for people in general. I have seen countless pros come and go Karma always favors kindness. That's it for now...
