The Temple of Consciousness invited me back to teach my Tantric Belly dance workshop at the Lightning in a Bottle Festival again this year. This time I taught about hundred people, none of whom had been to one of my classes before! Most were under 30 yrs old and some of them were men. It was the first morning of the Festival so everyone was still fairly normal. But then, that all changed when we had a blast together! The workshop got them in their bodies dancing, smiling and in a high vibration space….
See how the men became the stars of the workshop below…
Extra time at the workshop gave us a rare treat. After a communication mix up… thank you Mercury retrograde… I ended up with an extra 10 minutes to fill. Intuitively I had a sense to have the last witness dance for the MEN in the room. They were so powerful and into it, that the women present had to jump up and dance with them. They blew us all away. See a short Iphone VIDEO snippet here….
After that everyone looked at me in disbelief…we had raised the roof! Then we sat and set intentions together to make beautiful heart aligned connections all weekend. And I suspect they did.
I was paired up with well loved DJ, DJ Dragonfly. It was a cool challenge to dance Tantric Belly Dance moves to deep thumpy bass music, intertwined with middle eastern sounds. I counterpointed the strong drums with lyrical snakey moves.
Meditating before the set helped me with Stagefright. Once I was out on stage though, it was fun an easy :). And doing Tantric Breathing while performing made the performance very intuitive and full of shakti (feminine presence).
I met a fellow dancer at a gatheiring a week later and she thanked me for being the highlight of her plant medicine journey that night!

Performance Opportunity on January 25th! CHOREOGRAPHY Workshop to prepare: Saturday 14th December 12pm – 2.30pm
Have you always wanted to dance in a Belly Dance troupe performance? This could be your chance!
I have been given a slot for a 5 minute group dance for a Show is called ‘Moving into Grace’ – Believe it into Being Ecstatic Devotional Dance Performance’ that is being put together by 4 women involved in the LA Spiritual dance community, including me. And I’m excited to include you in it!
The show is in Silverlake at Studio A, on Saturday January 25th, at 7pm and ends in a celebratory dance party from 9-10pm (approx) where the audience members are invited to combine with the Dancers on the dance floor.
Enjoy our familiar Tantric Belly dance but with American Tribal influence. Dance fluid, earthy and beautiful belly dance moves in sync with your sisters, feeling the ancient woman’s circle move as one. Along with the choreography, there is a freeform segment as part of our dance where you get to channel your own moves. We prepare as usual with our tantric breath, before we go out on the floor together. This is a new type of performance that actively blesses the audience with love.
Bring friends and loved ones to the show! Enjoy seeing other dancers strut their stuff!
I have a short choreography ready to learn in class plus 4 rehearsals. I have been in a troupe before and it is a fantastic experience. From dressing up, to making new friends and getting a dance sequence under you (jingly) belt. Interested? Join us onstage! Low pressure and great fun!
And I’ll share a youtube link to the choreography so you can practice along at home too!
