Zorba on YouTube, sorta...

Zorba · 05-14-2008, 07:05 PM

I don't like YouTube, and wouldn't ever so dignify that site with a video of mine...

However, sometimes such things are beyond one's control, here's a kind of "Belly Dance promotional blurb" featuring my instructor talking about some of the benefits of Belly Dancing - alternating with footage from a recent show of my dance sisters and myself doing a skirt dance (which will THRILL Tarik, no doubt!

).

The video quality is YouTube's usual abysmal standard, but if you download the clip with keepvid or similar, the quality actually isn't too bad...

I love your instructor! She was so cool - "I'm 73, look at me!"

The clips of you dancing are too brief though

That's her sense of humor, she's really 57.

I have some aging clips on my website, click the "galleries" button. They're getting old, I need to replace them with newer ones that show what I've learned in the meantime!

You should not hide so much behind your instructor!

Shoot, I read the thread title and thought I was going to get to tease you a little bit.

Here's another, posted by the artist that did my Belly Dance portrait:

Hafta love the music!

Great vids! I loved the artwork near the end of your instructor's vid, right after she says she's 73 (ha!).

Done by one of my dance sisters - I could write a book about how talented she is. My wife and I own one of her commissions, and are planning a second.

And a blurb on my page about that particular mural:
