Bdss
Dear Lisaj and Eshta,
The only problem is.... what does practically anything that they present have to do with Middle Eastern dance?? I spent about 4 hours discussing this point with Miles Copeland one night. He eventually said that THAT was not the point. He claims to want to introduce the world to belly dance, but then he does not present any...???? I will say that usually, their costuming is great. I found their show to be repetitive and every nuance of emotion was either faked or not present at all. I am not sure what they are doing, but it sure is not Middle Eastern dance.
Yes, I AM particularly hard on the BDSS. I find them NOT to be belly dancers in any meaningful way for the most part, and certainly they are not Superstars either. It all seems like false advertising to me, and their show is sssoooo repetitive, even the first time, what with there seeming to be only two basic choreographies, one for American Oriental and one for Tribal fusion..... Am I wrong here?? Same five or six moves in different combinations for both kinds of dance.
Regards,
A'isha
