So thrilled to share the video to the video that we created with Dalia at her incredible retreat in Sicily. It feels like a such a dream! Watching this I am instantly transported back to the mountains, the sunshine, the olive trees.... Can't wait to go back next year.

So grateful that my skirt troupe is up for anything I throw at them. For Art of the Belly" Belly Dance Festival in Ocean City, MD this year I threw a new prop at them and they crushed it! I had so much fun performing this set with them.

Winter White Hymnal was a song I had been wanting to choreograph for a while, and when several of my troupemates brought it up, I thought, let's do it! I loved the challenge of incorporating the rounds into the choreo and still make it look cohesive.

For Mayas, I loved incorporating the Divine Chaos Fusion Collective technique to create a high energy, dynamic piece. Its so helpful when everyone already knows all the combos!

And for Hop Hop Hop, I was so enthralled by this song when I first heard it. I couldn't get it out of my head and wanted to create something that felt like community, like a group of dancers just getting together and vibing out. The tambourines were a new element that I really enjoyed tying in with the skirt work.

These were hard numbers and the troupe worked their tails off to get them ready in time and I couldn't be prouder. Just makes my heart burst watching them. I'm so lucky to get to dance with this awesome group!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
