Some weekends are so full you forget to document much of it ♥️

Teaching "Noir Nights: A Study in Slow Fusion Movement & Musicality" performing a Datura Style fantasy fusion solo, and vending at Bayou Belly Festival, hosted by the Louisiana Belly Dance Association Friends, made for a wonderful weekend. Thank you to everyone who took class, came to the show, stopped by the booth, or simply shared a conversation 🥰

I survived the weekend, but a still trying to unpack, regroup for the next event, and get some much needed rest

This video isn't slowed down. 🖤

Want to learn how to move with dramatically slow, sinuous control?
Join me for **"Noir Nights: A Study in Slow Fusion Movement & Musicality"** at Bayou Belly Festivale in Lafayette, Louisiana!

This **two-part intensive** (Friday & Saturday, 1:00–2:45pm) is all about refined isolations, seamless transitions, and discovering how musicality, timing, and stillness can transform your dancing, fused with the smoky elegance of 1930s slow jazz.

No preparation is required—just come ready to move. If you'd like, you'll also have the **optional opportunity to perform** in Saturday night's showcase! Performance costumes are simple: a mermaid or A-line skirt (no 25-yard FCBD-style skirts), a black top, a hip belt or scarf, and as much glamorous jewelry, headwear, and vintage-inspired sparkle as you'd like.

I can't wait to share this piece with you at Louisiana Belly Dance Association Friends 's Bayou Belly Festival!

“Noir Nights: A Study in Slow Fusion Movement & Musicality”
Step into the smoky elegance of 1930s slow jazz with an Old Hollywood glam twist in this slow fusion dance workshop set to “Nightmare” by Artie Shaw and His Orchestra. With its slow, haunting melody, this piece invites you to embody sultry sophistication through controlled, fluid movement. We’ll focus on refined isolations, seamless transitions, and the art of stretching movement through musical phrasing.
The true challenge lies in timing and expression—where every gesture lingers, every transition breathes, and stillness becomes just as powerful as motion. Perfect for dancers looking to deepen musicality, control, and performance quality in a dark, glamorous fusion style. Come ready to slow down, listen closely, and embody the tension, elegance, and allure woven into this sultry piece.
An optional performance component invites you to bring this piece to life on stage in the Saturday evening show. Participation is completely optional—come to perform, or simply to immerse yourself in the choreography and cultivate deeper control, musicality, and presence.

This is a two part class. Part I is Friday at 1:00pm-2:45pm and Part 2 is Saturday at 1:00-2:45pm. Class price includes both parts. Performance in Saturday night showcase is optional.
