Is that their own "Oriental fantasy"-style or is it a variation of american cabaret?

Dear Gisela,
Beata used to be one amazing Egyptian style dancer, but now she is into that Cinderella stuff, or whatever it is, with Horacio. His dancing has always been just too.... wormy or something for my taste. I think he must have been a better ballet dancer than he has ever been a belly dancer. I feel sad that Beata seems so far away from the meat of the dance now... and Horacio never seems to have quite gotten it.
Regards,
A'isha
