I agree. The 2nd clip wasn't at all impressive either...the dancer honestly looked as though she was terrified to move (and I can't blame her)...she was being so cautious that she manages on a few undulations and chest shimmies, a drop to her knees...again...where's the DANCING?
I applaud innovation...showmanship is so important when performing in this kind of venue...but when your prop dictates your dancing, creativity and emotion...it just doesn't work...JMHO.
