Hey friends! I was able to reactivate my other dance page that I had shut down a while ago but didn't realize that I could do so. Please go follow it because this new page is going to go into deactivation ๐
So proud of Irina Akulenko Dancer and dancers!!
Love that I got to be a part of this dream for her. She deserves this beautiful moment.
Much love!! Xx
We Won!

Thanks to Matthew Xavier De Santis for the videography!
Fun fact - this was taught on our first afternoon together, just as the team met for the first time on day 1 of my first See and Be Seen retreat in Crete. It was recorded that evening. This was raw energy and emotion. Thank you all for your trust. I can't wait to create more .
PS - I'm linking the video in the comments below if you'd like to see it. Deep gratitude to Raqs Film Festival . Its an honor to win the "Best in Fusion" category
Happy Fall, y'all! As we come to the end of the dance season, let's give thanks for another beautiful year of dance ๐๐ฝ
Through all the good times and especially through the painful ones, we made it!
Let's finish out this year strong ๐

๐ฅ My first fire dance class is done!! ๐ฅ

โจ๏ธ
Thank you for this incredible class and community of dancers โค๏ธโ๐ฅ I'll definitely be enrolling in more in the near future ๐๐
This course really helped me get back into my body right before that epic month of dancing around the world, so it came at the perfect time ๐
One day I'll get to officially join the rest of my pyro friends, and until then, I will be working on gaining strength and courage to do this for the public one day!
Let's light this ish up!!

Hey there! My name is Zosia Fae and I am a Flow and Fusion Dancer from the USA โจ๏ธ I believe dance can be a transformative and magical experience for both performer and audience member, and I enjoy traveling the world to share the magic of dance ๐
I have training in classical dance styles, as well as classical Egyptian and Turkish bellydance, Tribal Fusion, fan veil and other Flow Arts, and even was a principal dancer of a West-African Caribbean dance company many moons ago ๐
My specialties are improvisational Fusion Dance and fan veil. I also work as a social media manager for dancers, artists, and small businesses who may not have the time to do it themselves.
DM me if you'd like to book me for any of the above! ๐
Talk soon ๐
One love โค๐งก๐๐งกโค

I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT IN!!!! ๐ฑ๐ฑ
I found out about this halfway through my Austin trip IN THE MIDDLE OF REHEARSALS for a show, so I really didn't have time to focus on anything else except the dances (not a terrible thing to have to worry about!).
I am still flying from this information!! I didn't tell many people because it still doesn't seem true ๐
I thought Massive was over literally when I decided I wanted to start applying to go ๐ซ
And after this crazy year of feeling almost paralyzed from being able to dance, realizing how much I felt I digressed, thinking my dance career was over because I let external influences affect my well-being and even my decisions to dance, I'm feeling very lucky right now...but I also don't believe in coincidences...or luck.
I DO believe the universe works in our favor if we let it โจ๏ธ
A few months ago, I forced myself to snap out of it and I worked so hard to help incredible choreographers and directors create such amazing and magical pieces ๐๐โจ๏ธ
I've missed this feeling โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
I'M SO GLAD I'M BACK!! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐ฅ
I hope I deserve this and there's someone I've been dyyyyinggg to meet for a very long time ๐ฅบ๐๐
I'm so excited to see you all at
๐ฉ๐ช GERMANY, HERE I COME!! ๐ฉ๐ช

That post-production vibe hit me harddd and fassst after returning from Austin, TX.
Holy sheets.
Please be patient with me, friends, I'll be decompressing from the past few month's adventures for a while. You know how it goes. It won't last as long this time, I promise ๐
You can probably find me hiding out in the forest with my tiny animal friends ๐๐ฟ๐ฆ
Please do not disturb the little faerie in her natural habitat, she is free now ๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ
In the meantime, check out my travel page Sophia the Wanderluster. She's cool, she drives a Jeep and has a lot of ducks (on the dashboard) ๐๐จ

These humans are so damn amazing and sooo freaking gorgeous inside and out, I can't even handle it!! ๐๐ญ๐ญ
This weekend's performance of Radiant Tarot by Myra Krien and Starbelly School of Dance in Austin, TX was better than I could have ever imagined. It has been a dream of mine to travel with a theatrical company since I was in high school and it is finally happening!!
Honestly, I thought my dance career had ended last year. I fell out of love with it. My heart had been shattered, my dreams destroyed, and my world was in pieces. I didn't really ever see myself coming back to dance and I didn't want to...
But this past month really gave me the courage to love dance again. And this past weekend gave me the strength to love others and let others into my heart again.
This piece was created with so much strength and power. I didn't know I could fall in love with bellydance again ๐
And the choreography!! Oh my gosh. I'm obsessedddd ๐๐ It's sooo amazing, but I can't even begin to tell you how incredible it is, you'll have to come and see it for yourselves! It's transformative and magical โจ๏ธ
Get your tickets for NYC because we will be at THE Soho Playhouse October 1!! ๐คฉ๐คฉ
Can't make the shows in person but would still love to see it??
Check the ๐ in my comments to the video of the full production! Help us get to the end!! It's so worth it, trust me! โจ๏ธ

We did it!!! We done did the dang thing ๐๐
I met the beautiful .ali in Greece for the See and Be Seen Retreat 2022 with Irina Akulenko and reunited again for See and Be Seen 2023 in July. After only 2 weeks since returning from the retreat and attempting the decompression stage, we flew to Austin, TX and joined the minor arcana of the Radiant Tarot by and .
Holy crapola was THAT an intense and amaaazing experience ๐ฑ๐ฑ
I learned 8 pieces in 5 days, and Sarima, being the fan-freaking-tabulous creature that she is, learned 7 pieces in TWO days!!
We would wake up bright and early and would rehearse for hours and hours and hours to get these pieces so we could at least do the dang thing and we did it!! I couldn't have done it without my dance sister (and I lost count of how many times we watched the video of the entire show before performing it ourselves!).
I am so sooo proud of us for the work that we did ๐๐ we weren't perfect, but it was pretty incredible that we were even able to do it at all in such a small time frame!
WE DID THE DANG THING AND WE GON' DO IT AGAIN IN NYC!!! And we are sooo gonna bring it, don't you worry ๐

I saw the whole show from a recording and I'm so obsessed!! The dancers are so incredible and I'm excited to be able to get to perform in Austin, TX in just a few days!! ๐คฉ๐๐๐ฝ

Throwback to a magical moment in Greece with my girl Tati as we were touring the hot streets of Rethymno. It was a very hot week to be there! But nevertheless it was a beautiful moment!! I went through a lot of emotions there, too. Things from my heart that apparently I really needed to go through. Thank you to everyone who helped me through those moments ๐๐

So grateful to this man for capturing so many beautiful pieces over the years. The photographers and videographers don't get enough recognition because they are always focused behind the camera. So let's raise our glasses to the ones behind the screens that capture the art that the world gets to see.
