#dancefirst365

So, it's been a bit since I have honestly felt like dancing. I know so many of us have been feeling like this. I still do my kitchen dance sessions while I am cooking, but it has honestly been a struggle. On Friday, I turned 41. @serious_mix asked for a little twirl and @samm1922 warned that I better post a video before Monday or else, lol (thanks for the encouragement, you two.) It isn't the best twirl, but here is it is. Practicing some sharp stops and framing. Also, my son said I was dancing to the wrong song and promptly made corrections to the playlist. Take care everyone. #bellydance #dancefirst365 #getbackintothegroove #quarantinebirthday #messyhairdontcare #parenting #mykidiscool #bellydancemom #beatsantique #bubbasparxxx https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjkFEuFa5K/?igshid=9gml4iyu2knu

Today is a great day for a hafla party of one. I'm going to put on my favorite songs (much to my son's dismay, lol) and dance. Trying to remember something my sunflower @samm1922 said to me, "...dance in times of sorrow, in times of happiness and in times of love." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope you dance today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cutest artwork by @mashiwendy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bellydance #dancefirst365 #danceheals #danceismytherapy #art #wendychew #deviantart https://www.instagram.com/p/CCLpIxuFIl3/?igshid=18c3rjnw08a35

When I saw this week's prompt for week 1 of the #dancersonsocialchallenge I felt like it was going to be tough. I love too many genres to pick one for a video. I don't think I could make it through the day without music. I have even noticed it helps my kids get through their homework when I play a score from Star Wars or something they like. Dance wise, I tend to dance to whatever emphasizes my mood.                     Lately, I have been in a very old school vibe and I have been dancing to the instrumentals. It just makes me groove. This is part of my warm up before working on some choreo.                     ♫@drdre - Xxplosive (instrumental)                     #dancersonsocialchallenge @kindviolet #dancefirst365 #bellydance #fusionbellydance #tribalfusionbellydance #callitwhatyouwant #warmupdance #oldschoolmusic #drdre https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Gli72FGlx/?igshid=evrg706u9z4d

We both have lots of homework to do. I think he'd rather be playing my zils though 😂 Trying to get to a comfortable moving while playing #dancefirst365 #zils #practice #bellydance #bellydancermom #bellydancehomework #kids #parenting #attackofthezils https://www.instagram.com/p/B21vl5SF1e4/?igshid=16plo76tor3oo

Getting back into the groove with some ATS with the wonderful @colette.todorov . Working on my fast ATS foot patterns and the Sahra Turn. I like to tape myself to figure out what in the hell I need to do to be more graceful and strong. I definitely need to figure out what to do with my arms in the first part of the turn because I'm looking awkward, any tips are appreciated. And then of course turns and hand floreos will always be the enemy 😒 Felt good to dance today. #dancefirst365 #daturaonline #colettetodorov #atsbellydance #americantribalstyle #bellydance #practicepracticepractice #bellydancepractice #sahraturn https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_m1MLlzMK/?igshid=1e8l9qio8j34o

Today's mood. Trying to focus on the feeling while connecting to the movement is hard for me. Working on it in my moody status. #dancefirst365 #bellydance #bellydancepractice #tribalfusionbellydance #fusionbellydance #improv #mood #feels #practice #flume #kai #ilovemusic #ilovebellydancing ♫@flume @listentokai - Never Be Like You https://www.instagram.com/p/B0R2k9aFDAM/?igshid=d02su33ukx45

This is 40. This is almost one year cancer free. This is enjoying yourself without worrying if it is perfect. This is loving your body without judgement. As the song says, "don't bother gwaan timid." Love your life and live it fiercely. #happybirthdaytome #thisis40 #dancefirst365 #bellydance #bellydancelife #tribalfusionbellydance #fusionbellydance #raqssharqi #inmymelos #melodiadesigns #thyca #thyroidcancer #cancerfree 🎶#Boasty - @idriselba @stefflondon @duttypaul @wiley__ 🎶 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzv0HAqFWzK/?igshid=1suo1x3qwo3hd
