My office for tonight. I like to think of this as the "toilet warrior" look (swipe through for full effect of glamorous woman posing in a cubicle with weaponry...). . . . #bellydancer #bellydance #bellydancelife #bellydancersofinstagram #restaurantdancer #tasteofcairo #urmston #manchester #mcruk #istanbulgrill #turkish #manchesterbellydancer #sword #sworddancer #orientaldance #orientaldancer

What better way to spend a summer evening than moving to the rhythms of the Middle East in these Egyptian dance introductory workshops, coming to Chorlton this August 💃☀️🇪🇬 . . . Find out what Egyptian dance (AKA bellydance) is all about, and try some fabulous moves for yourself, on Tuesdays 6th and 27th of August at Chorlton High School, from 6:30pm . . . See link in bio to reserve your spot! . . . #chorlton #chorltoncumhardy #chorltonlife #whatsonchorlton #chorltondance #manchester #manchesterdance #danceclass #whatsonmanchester #whatsonmcr #learntodance #egyptiandance #bellydance #adultdanceclasses #summerfun #dancelessons #middleeasterndance #activeliving #mindfulmovement #beginnersdance

I love the iconic two piece dance costumes, but sometimes it's nice to do something a bit different, too... Here I'm rocking a vintage ballgown dripping with sequins and beads for a classical Egyptian piece ✨✨✨ . . . Looking at this photo (it's a few years old now), I'm thinking I ought to go for this costuming style more often 😍 . . . 📷 by Krystina @bellydance_boutique . . . #bellydancer #egyptiandance #middleeasterndance #arabicdance #elegant #vintage #dancer #dancersofinstagram #bellydance #raqssharqi #ballgown

People are often surprised to find I can be introverted and rather awkward in daily life, but am confident and even flamboyant as a dancer 💃 . . But in fact there's a great freedom in performing. As an artist you make the rules and set the boundaries during that brief enchanted time when you are on stage - self consciousness and social anxiety make no more sense there than a fire extinguisher in the ocean. And all of the ephemeral social conventions that can get in the way of real connection are momentarily suspended 🌟💕 . . 📷 by Maani . . #dancelife #dancethoughts #bellydancer #bellydance #dancersofinstagram #egyptiandance #raqssharqi #tasteofcairo #performers #performingarts #introvertlife #introvertthoughts #💃 #dance

A choreographed trio performance? With live music? With no chance for a dress rehearsal? What could possibly go wrong?! . . Well as it turns out, nothing - we took all the little surprises in our stride like the pros that we are, and I think the end result was something genuinely joyful and entertaining for our lovely audience ☺️ . . It has been so much fun working on this project with my fellow Manchester 'Taste of Cairo' dancers @kloe.rumsey and @vsamarbellydance 🥰 I look forward to doing it all again soon! And I'm so grateful to Melanie @the_arab_quarter for trusting in our ability to pull this off although it was definitely a risky proposition! 💕 . . . #tasteofcairo #danceshow #bellydanceshow #manchester #arabquarterly #thearabquarterly #bellydancers #bellydancersofinstagram #arabicdance #egyptiandance #middleeasterndance #gorgeousingreen #dancersofinstagram #dancelife #manchesterdancers
