Oh, dear, I can't find it now but I've seen a VERY early silent movie short showing a "Princess Rahah" at the 1904 St. Louis Exposition. She's a pretty little thing with one of those hourglass figures created by an iron corset, hair piled on her head and a dress with a bell-like, shin-length skirt.
She comes prancing on a stage and does, if I remember right, a pretty credible shimmy all over the place before going over to a straight, wooden-looking chair, picking it up only WITH HER TEETH and swinging it merrily around the stage while she dances. What she called this style I haven't a clue. Then I recently saw an episode of "CSI: Las Vegas." There's a scene in which rich partgoers are amusing themselves while they wait for a big ol' casino to be demolished. The party entertainment is a pair of what looks to be belly dancers with Louise Brooks haircuts and dark, 2-piece pants-and-bra putfits. Hard to tell as the show kept running the scene in slo-mo, but the dancers appeared to be gyrating within flaming hula hoops. Not big flames, just little ones licking the edges of the hoops, but still... Belly dancing a la hula hoops o' fire? |

i like that clip a lot and i can see a lot of potential from the choreography. i would love to be able to do that sort of fusion. it's very modern but not so much bellydance that i can see, except for a few moves here and there. do you have the link? or info on the school? i agree with you about the costumes. and i may be a fuddy duddy but for some reason i do not find this dance appropriate for little girls. the costume and the choreography should be tailored to children, not children tailored to doing an adults dance. |
