Ahh.. Buna ziuah! My family are Romanian Romany, and the other English.

Thanks for the links, they're really helpful!

Good luck with your performances, and (DEJA VU!) thanks so much for explaining to me. I'm hopeless at trying to understand somethings.

You are so very welcome Sara I think it is better to inform someone about knowledge . Then to find fault and a biased comment about something someone knows very little or nothing about it.

Ask the Gothic dancers what GOTHIC DANCE is? We will explain it. For traditional dancers who do not think or dance outside of the box they do not have a clue. Just like anyone who doesnt understand what they do not know.

I ,also like Taleetha do Traditional dance as well as GOTHIC style. It is the whole thing about being a professional you can dance to any music or style. If your a real dancer all you need to do is feel the rhythm and the beat.

I have to go but I just needed to explain things correctly as there were to many posts from persons unknowing the true meaning of GOTHIC BELLY DANCE.

Have a great week!!! Nice meeting you Sarah

Hmm it is somthing I been meaning to defy as most Gothic dancers call themselves tribal. Well Gothic is Gothic music Tribal is more fusion style of percusion and other instruments. Think of tribes from Africa or other countries there is a lot of different music enfluences.

Gothic dance can be moody, sensual ambient music some with percusionbeats like Govinda, Dead can dance, Corvus corax ect....
after the next 6 months of dance training hard I will be starting Gothic Ethno-Fusion as well as Egyptian basic moves classes. I am going for dance certification. So to the one who said Gothic Belly dance is not ME dance I say get your facts straight .

I wasn't going to reply here, but since I feel the need to stick up for myself, I just had to do it...sorry.
I am the dancer in one of the youtube.com videos that was posted as not really being gothic bellydance due to my perkiness?
Anyway, a request was made for some "real" gothic bellydance videos...
Here's a video of my troupe at a goth club (choreographed by me...I'm in the front...hopefully not smiling too much this time :-p).

PS Yeah...I'm a pretty happy goth who actually enjoys life and dancing...which brings out a more perky part of myself. And yes...gothic bellydancing DOES exist.

Hi Phoenixavathar. I must say I liked your video, but because I'm rather ignorant at the area of gothic bellydance and was not sure if it actually was gothic bellydance, I posted your video here and asked what the others thought about it.
Please don't feel too offended. If you don't like your video being here, I'll remove it. I'm glad you and the other gothic bellydancers are willing to brighten our knowledge about your dance style.

Just try saying that on other threads on this forum....
(sorry all, feeling a bit combat-weary. Or Reasoned-debate-weary. Drop in on the Cultural Appreciation thread on Other Dance styles sometime and join me )
Seriously Phoenixavathar, you stick up for yourself. I liked the clip Moon posted, and the smiliness. The world needs more smiley dancers, whatever style they are into.
