Working or taking classes from someone doesn't make style. If student takes classes from one teacher (or teachers with same style) for a long time she propably is influenced so much and will dance with that style, too.
For example I have taken some classes from teachers from Europe and America with different styles, but I'm Egyptian style dancer. I take what I want from their teaching and make them look Egyptian.
Yousry Sharif takes movements and things from jazz, but no-one is saying he does jazz dance.
Just like Aisha said, there is so much more in dancing than just the movements.
By the way if Shakira is not a belly dancer how, can she have a certain oriental dance style.
Don't take offence by my harshness, it's not you. I just have had this Shakira stuff too much lately.
