Shakira
Dear Violeetsidhe,
I watched the video. l did not see any belly dance on it. I saw some undulations, some hip movements in a posture that was nothing like the postures for belly dance, and some other movements that in themselves, slightly resembled some of the movements of belly dance. We have to keep in mind that many dance forms also incorporate these same movements. The postures, attitude and every other thing about the video was not belly dance... more jazz or modern in their feel, possibly.
My point was and still is that Shakira does not do a style of belly dance.
She incorporates some movement that might be found in belly dance when performed with the right posture,music, spirit, cultural essence, etc.
Regards,
A'isha
