Friday, July 18, 5pm Oregon time: Join me for a member meet up on www.daturaonline.com.

I’m inviting all of the internal voices! Let's talk about our hopes, dreams, and worries regarding the dance form currently known by some as “fusion belly dance”

Two more sleeps till Phase 1!

Saroyan Zills sent me this amazing video today... Datura cymbals getting polished up & ready for Phase 1 starting in just a week and a half!
Learned the owners do all the stamping, forming, deburring, and polishing themselves. #the&elementsofbellydance #fingercymbals #musicalmarch #daturastyle

it's Whatever Wednesday: a one hour live stream where we do… Whatever… In regards to Bellydance practice. See the full calendar here: daturaonline.com/calendar/age...

#TBT 1st international BDSS tour: Just 6 months before this I’d been performing at Amira on Tuesday nights, usually to 1 table, spending more on the cab ride to the venue then I made once I got there. These posters were all over Milan and I was 🤯. Whatta rush. @gifthorsegems.bsky.social & Melodia ❤️

PSA: do what you can, and not more than that… I still had the flu (or whatever) but I would’ve had it anyway… And now I had it +90 minutes of monster practice under my belt. It felt so good to just do the little bit I could do. Plus there’s a little announcement at the end. enjoy. daturaonline.com ❤️

If you’re going through it right now, collage can help. You don’t need all this here to get started. All you need is a free mag, some scissors and a glue stick. You don’t even have to know what you’re making.

Pasadena Humane (remember their cute Rose Parade float last week?) urgently needs donations to care for abandoned and injured animals. They are right on the front lines of the Eaton fire. If you're watching the news and feeling helpless, here's a way to help! give.pasadenahumane.org/give/264243/...

9 of Cups: “You know the fireflies in Brazil that are so luminous that in the evening ladies stick them into their hair with pins? It’s very fine, fame, but see, it is to the artist what the hairpin is to those insects. You wish to succeed and shine; do you really know what you want?”— Van Gogh

Hi Blue Sky, nice to meet you. Here’s a snippet from the first class of the new year. Unlike me, people were ready…
