Oh hey November!
October happened so fast and was so full….it went by without me posting much here at all.
So before we move into a new season, I thought I’d share a few favorite audience moments from some of the birthday parties I danced at in my birth month.
Go Libras! ♎️😄✨
Swipe for 4 clips and a bonus pic of my 2021 Halloween costume 😄🐲🤍
First clip, fan veiling dance duo with @laylaisis

It’s witching season 🍂🧙🏼‍♀️ We’re nearly half way into October already but I’m catching up! Between missing summer, dreading the coming winter, and how busy this time of year is, it seems like Autumn can go by in a flash, but I’m determined to soak it in as much is possible. Plus it’s my birthday week, so #fallfrolic & ♎️ #witchtober it is! 🍁😄
Thanks to @sufel_boutique for my new #pumpkinspice suit 🎃

Side note🌱 my usually not so useful love of green costumes seems to be paying off this year as nearly every wedding wants some shade of green. Maybe an excuse to add an olive & mint to my collection 😄

Thank you @katie.sahar for making me realize I’ve never actually introduced myself here. (I’m a pretty solid introvert, so not too surprising)
Here goes!

Hi! I’m Mariyah Elizabeth also Liz.
❤️‍🔥My fascination with movement began in my teens when I started exploring yoga, tai chi and martial arts. Dance followed shortly after. Movement, breath and embodiment practices have been live changing for me. I believe in the connection of mind, body and spirit, and the transformative potential of movement.
❤️‍🔥I’m a NYC Bellydancer and have been a full time performer here for the majority of my adult life.
❤️‍🔥I was drawn to bellydance by the beautiful music and because it was taught to me as a very individually expressive and improvisational dance form. With no real dance background, choreography was definitely a struggle when I started out.
❤️‍🔥I feel lucky to have started dancing when so many clubs in NY still featured live Middle Eastern music and that I’ve had the chance to dance so often with wonderful musicians since my dance beginnings. That experience is what made me truly fall in love with bellydance.
❤️‍🔥I love and have continued to learn many dance forms, including Odissi, Persian and contemporary dance styles. I love creating pieces of fusion or theatrical work.
❤️‍🔥 I am a certified Pilates instructor. It’s a practice that has been invaluable to me as dancer for knowing the body in more detail.
❤️‍🔥I wanted to be a sculptor when I went to undergrad but I ended up taking mostly dance and religion classes.
❤️‍🔥I met my love @chekerero out dancing (Salsa) That was 20 (!) years ago. We are proud cat parents.
❤️‍🔥I have been a vegetarian for close to 30 years.
❤️‍🔥I grew up in 5 different states but mostly Southern California. I came to NYC right out of high school and it’s definitely home now, but I do miss the west coast landscape.
❤️‍🔥I love animals and nature and I’m always happiest by the sea.
❤️‍🔥Thanks for reading! If you made it this far, here’s a 🧁 I’m not sure how well I’ll keep up with the #socialshimmy2021 challenges, but I hope to have some fun on the way!

A dance residency with Miriam Peretz

Full of gratitude, grace and blessings…. We begin this year’s Shakti Summer School program under the deeply enriching tutelage of Miriam Peretz @Navadance.

Dancing in the elements, rooting into practices to cleanse the heart … we find expression of the souls longing. Miriam offers poetic metaphor through movements inspired by contemporary dance, Central Asian and Persian dances and far beyond.

Each day we explore a new epic location on this mystic island of Crete and find…. the music of nature, the the dance of the island breeze, the textures of fertile earth under our feet, the flow of the waves, the colors under the sunset and rising moon sky, the smiles of sweet dance sisters, the intention of prayer through art and ….

Each moment is magic… ✨🌙✨☀️💫✨🧜🏼‍♀️✨

Thank you @matthew_xavier_desantis for capturing these magical moments of #danceinnature

She danced the dance of flames and fire, and the dance of swords and spears;
she danced the dance of stars and the dance of space, and then she danced the dance of flowers in the wind.
