Default Dance etc

Dear Suheir and Rico,
Of the three clips, I definitely would vote for Ellen, who actually HAS some grace and rhythm that comes naturally from her heart and soul! She also did not even once say that the was doing any version of belly dance, so who can find fault? She's a good girl, that Ellen!!
Regards,
A'isha
PS did anyone see Ellen's coming out dance?? It was fabulous!!

Here is a video clip of more zombie dancing...is that a shoulder shimmy???!! Think Progress » MC Bush.

Thank you for that, that just made my whole day

Dear Suheir,
What decent practitioner of either belly dance or erotic submission would do more than YAWN at that little comedy in the name of either pastime???

A'isha

You will all think I'm nuts, but I really liked the "cannibal" one. Is it a fantasy thing, a fetish thing, or and ode-to-Hannibal-Lechter thing? It really looks more fetishy than cannibal-ly to me.

Roll  Eyes

I thought that both the dancers had some skill, and the soloist in particular had very nice arms. She would have been more interesting to watch without the extra facial costuming.

I just don't get off on that "techno-tribal" music, as it is pretty soul-less.

In the BDSM "dance" I wonder who the poor jerk was who agreed to be her pathetic slave. I thought the overall effect was creepy.

In general I agree with the rest of you guys, pretty boring. I just wasn't really entertained. Make me laugh, or do something really cute, or dazzle me with great technique, and I'm entertained. If a dance is about angst, there better be some great music and/or movement backing it up, for me. I was more entertained watching the 3 and 4 year old baby ballerinas dancing this past weekend at the San Diego County Fair. At least they weren't pretentious, and were adorably cute.

Here's a little message for those two preceding choreographers:

-Belly break, a style invented and COPYRIGHTED (no joke, she told someone on Bhuz off for using that name) by a Dutch dancer called Yamila. There is a video of this on Youtube, but I can't find it. To be honest that dancing style looks weird.

-belly gymnastics

BTW I find that Princess Leia video a bit scary, her bum is half hanging out!

Do you mean this Amulya?


That looks weird indeed. Reminds me a little of robotic dancing, but then less good


Hiphop bellydance
