My heart is happy and my soul is full from this past weekend of dance in Cincinnati/Covington! 🇺🇸 it was an honour to teach these beautiful dancers for 10 hours of workshops 💖 Thank you to everyone who joined me in the studio and shared their time and energy with me! Teaching weekend intensives like this is one of my favourite things to do, and I am so grateful for every chance I get to do this. And so immensely grateful to hosts like @Emily Marie Dance and Amirah for their support and belief in what I have to offer 🦄 (as well as being absolutely fabulous, kind, caring, and organized hosts the whole weekend!) I’ll be riding these beautiful happy dance waves into this week: teaching my weekly classes (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday + Saturday) and performing on Sunday at ✨Glitter✨ in Hamilton! 🇨🇦 @Eshebellydancer #raqssharqi #bellydance #baladi #shaabi #goldenerabellydance #classicbellydance #tarab #rakssharki #dancadoventre #danseorientale #egyptiandance #torontobellydance #bellydanceclass #bellydanceworkshop #travel #teacher #melissagamal #ilovemyjob #happy #blessed created by Melissa Gamal with Bibio's lovers’ carvings

Adding a little debke touch to a dance combo in my Advanced class 💃 just having fun and introducing this styling to my students. The music doesn’t match exactly because tiktok doesnt have the exact part of the song we used, but this is pretty close 😜 #raqssharqi #bellydancetiktok #bellydancer #torontobellydance #bellydancingtoronto #bellydanceclass #toronto #debke #learning #training created by Melissa Gamal with Fares Karam's Al Eyn Molayten

🚫🙅🏻‍♀️ Sooo this is not the original song I used for this dance combo (I tried to upload it on multiple platforms and it was immediately taken down because whoever owns the song has blocked it completely from being used). Well, I wasn’t gonna let that stop me from posting this! sorry/not sorry for the 90’s vibez. This song fit really well over the clip 🙌 Let this serve as a reminder to never let anything stop you from sharing your cute lil self in awesome leopard pants! 🐆😅💪👏 Can you guess the original song? If you can read lips you might be able to tell. Song: “Sahrany” by Ehab Tawfik circa 1999 #raqssharqi #bellydance #bellydancingtoronto #torontobellydance #bellydanceclass #toronto #dance #learntobellydance #bellydanceonline #egyptiandance #rakssharki #shimmy #hips #melissagamal #leopardprint #torontodance created by Melissa Gamal with Ehab Toufic's Sahrany

Who’s ready for the weekend?! 🙋🏻‍♀️💖 Here’s a little sequence I worked on with some of my Beginner students this week. I try to keep the isolations and transitions quite simplified, so that it doesn’t feel overwhelming while their bodies and minds process movement that may be very new for them. But I love to give them a little bit of song translation/meaning, so we can have some fun with our expression ☺️ Hope you’ll have a wonderful weekend full of dance! Ps. You can watch a longer clip of this dance on my IG page. Music from the beautiful @Nancy Ajram #torontodance #torontobellydance #raqssharqi #rakssharki #egyptiandance #nancyajram #arabicmusic #learntobellydance #bellydanceclass created by Melissa Gamal with Nancy Ajram & Marshmello's Sah Sah
