I want to commit a bellydance sin!

Suhad · 07-21-2006, 05:30 AM

OK, I admit it...I Looooove a particular song by Flogging Molly that has a very Middle Eastern melody line to it; the song is about pirates and I can't help but dance when I hear it!

I wanna do a performance to this song!!!! But not in a ME restaurant, just at a student night performance in the local mexican restaurant.

Just had to get that off my chest...cuz otherwise I might just have to do something to Junk in the Trunk (My Humps) by the Black Eye Peas. Anybody else feel a compulsion to just go to town on that song?

I often practice moves to rock music. As long as you lable this dance inspired by or experimental or something like that so people don't think it's authentic I don't see a problem at all. Have fun and good luck. Keep us posted on how it goes.

If you do it in a personal way its ok

Confesting a bellydance sin:
I use in my teaching class, after the warmup (that last 15 min) (in a 2 hour class) from Prodigy "Smack my bitch up" for hipdrops

and at the end of the cool down Scorpions "Wind of Change"

Maria Aya dont shoot meeeeeeeeeeeee

OMG!!! LMAO!! That's awesome! OK, now I don't feel quite so sinful.

And yes, this song would be part of a routine lasting about 7 minutes, and the only non - ME song I would be using.

Bahahahaha that's a good one :p Never saw the bellydance potential in Prodigy, but now that you mention is "Firestarter" would be great for shimmying...

My own sin is that whenever I hear a song that is very "danceable" (in the broad sense of the term, not just bellydance) I cannot dance in any other way than with bellydance moves

Well, it's not exactly a sin, right? It's just that I am dance-challenged and cannot get bellydance out of my body, right?
