Cover your eyes: Bodybuilding bellydance - Page 2

There are some local dancers in my area who have *startlingly* muscular physiques. But they always "read" as women to me - as does the one in this video.

Oh my, I agree with Sedonia's assessmant..not enough of either discipline..body building or dance. Yet using Oriental music and dance routines seems to becoming popular in the bodybuilding scene.

Uh, if she's building up her body why does her butt still look flat?

So after all a skirt was not such a bad idea....

I have to agree, about the body not being a true representation of a female body builder and to dance a kind of bellydance to show of her body was kind of strange and weird!

I didn't hear any audience reaction, maybe they were as stunned as we were LOL!

I assume she shot this at home - it didn't look like a regular stage to me.

Maybe she bulks up more easily on her upper body, or doesn't enjoy lower body work? I guess I saw her physique (and dance) as a work in progress, not a final presentation (a la competition-perfect).

Next we will have belly dance tai chi, belly dance kung fu, belly dance competitive bicycling, belly dance synchronized swimming, belly dance football...

Maybe she's off season.

folks - we know nothing about her.

Is she an amateur prepping for a show? A hobbyist fooling round? Why would we expect her to have a dancers grace?

Maybe because she titled her video "muscular bellydancer".
