Emery StoneD

Emery is a nonbinary drag thing who isn’t sure what’s going on all the time. They do, however, invite you along for the ride—you never know where it’ll go!

Mariana

Mariana is a professional bellydancer residing in the Pacific Northwest. She is a fan of space-based fiction and enjoys blending storytelling, costuming, prop, and dance skills to deliver a fun and engaging performance suitable for all ages.

Mercury Divine

Mercury Divine is Seattle’s Dandiest Dandy, and the King of 1000 Faces. Equal parts nonsense, narrative, and nudity, this king brings you full technicolor absurdity—onstage, on screen, and on the street! For maximum enjoyment find them on Instagram, at @mercurydivine.

Michelle

Michelle is an artist, designer and performer. Enjoyed for her enigmatic mix of approachability, classic glamour and geeky humor, you’ll find her getting down and dirty with the details of costume making, dissecting a dance move segment by segment and listing off random history facts. Which isn’t surprising for a former member of marching band/colorguard, U.S. Navy Vet, Fiber Arts Major turned Feldenkrais® practitioner. Michelle BellyDance and @michellebellydance on Instagram.

Nanazeen

Coming to you from Seattle by way of Miami, Iran, and Germany, Nazaneen is a teacher, performer, and lifelong student of SWANA dances (that’s south-west Asia and North Africa), including raqs sharqi, Persian dances, and pan-Arabic folk dances. In addition to all things related to SWANA dance, she’s a lover of food, combat sports, and cats. She unfortunately occasionally has to be distracted from these pursuits to teach chemistry to college students.
