Violent and exciting!
I could do that, I've been exercising Ninjutsu for several years But then only in a black costume and wearing a mask Here comes the belly-kunoichi (female ninja)
Why actually do you think I dance with swords, canes and candles? And even the veil is death weapon in my hands So, take care.

Hi Jamil, a friendly clarification, It's "Chattanooga Choo-Choo". Basically a song about a train

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?

Belly dance tango Obviously their teacher doesn't know anything about bellydance or tango:


And those costumes are weird for little girls IMO.

moon:

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.
