[bellyqueen2b]

Hello,

It is a drum solo on the Asena CD.

Alexandra

[nailbunnygirl]

What song is this??

[aking22221]

Yes! Assuming you intend on performing for people? Your body is the instrument of your work and must be in top condition, just as a musical instrument must be cared for and kept in tune.Have fun!:)

[amethus1]

I'm getting in to belly dance but I have a belly... should I workout on top of dance to get it down or will belly dance do it alone. help

[bellyqueen2b]

Thanks!:)

[Shalimarali]

Fun! Fabulous! Fierce! Your shimmies are Fantastic! Love it! Awesome Dance!

[MJavedBhatti]

Woowwwwwwwwwww speechless....I have never seen this kind dance moves before...Wat an art loved it...

[ZangetsusGirl]

Beautiful! The only thing that I might suggest (coming from a fellow dancer and enthusiast) is that you might want to be more calculated with the movement of your arms. At some points, they don't seem very controlled, and a part of tribal belly dance I've always found fascinating and beautiful is how much ARM movement attributes to a dance. It also accentuates the division movements with your hips, stomach, and chest pops. You're AMAZING! And I'm so jealous at your hot body. :D

[rogerannewilson]

Beautiful! I love her style!



[xXinnocentgirl1012Xx]

I LOVE THIS SOOO MUCH its sooooo amazing <3 :P

[HappyHips87]

Amazing, truly amazing, and fun to watch!! I wish she could be my teacher :D

[bellyqueen2b]

Thank you Nonya. That is a wonderful legacy to have and one I have aspired to all my dance career, thanks to my teacher and best friend, Jenaeni. She taught her students that, as a teacher one must aspire to create dancers who surpass one and therefore evolve the art. So, when I see dancers I have taught, succeeding or writing and declaring me an inspiration, I am not only thrilled, but, deeply satisfied. Best in dance and stay in touch! ~Alexandra

[Nonyadance]

Thanks Alexandra. Throughout the years you have been a constant inspiration to me. God bless, Nonya

[bellyqueen2b]

Thanks!

[MsMcBell]

Wow =D quite a talent!

[bellyqueen2b]

Warda's Asena CD. Have fun!

[Zinaccti]

Love to know wich solo this is!! :D lovley!!

[bellyqueen2b]

Someone needs to see a therapist and handle that jealousy - perhaps learn a little respect for a master?

[simplicitykitty]

someone needs to take lessons - this looks extremely amateurish

[bellyqueen2b]

thank you!

[aleyabellydance2]

[angelabuttrey]

So adorable! Love you, Alexandra!!!

[andreakornick]

Does anybody know what year this is from? Is it one of her more recent performances?

[LuAysel]

Really worth to see it among a lot of videos with no personality. Where I was just to see u after 9 years of bellydancing? You talk with us through the music, I caught myself smiling. Very good, love it. Kisses from Brazil

[verbalicon]

Wow. Just ... wow. I can't wait until class starts on April 12. Even though I do see a lot of soreness in my future, haha.

[Diophanta]

Thanks, andreakornick! You've said it beautifully! I was privileged to see Alexandra King perform last weekend with the UC Santa Barbara Middle Eastern Ensemble, where she is the Dance Director as well as the star dancer. The miracle continues! Alexandra was phenomenal, and the dances she choreographed and performed with her group Seher were innovative and thrilling. Long live The King!!!

[bellyqueen2b]

Dear Andrea and Diophanta,

Your sweet comments made my day! Thank you! I am always honored to be admired by women I admire who also appreciate this beautiful dance. Long live our wonderful dance!

[rupymew]

that was so hype!!!! I LOVE IT! 10 stars. Also, what is your favourite album for good drum beats? Maybe anyone can help me. Umm.. do you listen to a lot of Turkish Bellydancing CDs?

[bellyqueen2b]

Hello,

Thank you for your compliment. Sahra Saidi is one of my favorite drum solos, and Saroyan's "Oriental Bourquet." I love Turkish and Egyptian equally. Of course, I prefer live music and am lucky enough to have my own orchestra here in Santa Barbara.

Take care, keep on dancing!

Alexandra KIng

[sidonia1001]

Hamsa,

You are so sweet..Thank you for your very lovely words. Keep on dancing!

Hugs,

Alexandra

[SadethAndNathanTv]

I met you at Floralia, I'm the fire breathing , tassel wearing Tonto, lol. I just wanted you let you know you have been such an inspiration and if I didnt have children to tend to I would follow you like the Grateful Dead. I bought every one of your instructionals and I killed my spoons. I hope our paths cross again but if they dont please know that I admire and respect you! HAMSA

[bellyqueen2b]

Dear Lily,

Thank you for your kind comments. I am so looking forward to my visit to Mexico City and would love to visit Tijuana sometime. Hope to meet you someday.

Best regrads,

Alexandra

[bebaramirez80]

Lily Ramirez..!!

[Diophanta]

Alexandra King is the best belly dancer in the world! I love this piece! It's a superb drum solo and a sexy, imaginative spoof of the art at the same time. Alex's rhythm and grace are unbelievable, and her joy simply leaps off the screen!

More! Please More!

[andreakornick]

I so agree with you! She was the first belly dancer that inspired me and I have yet to see another who dances with her mystery and elegance. It's like she infuses the dance with something that makes it so much more! She' absolutely powerful and amazing to watch!

[SugarHillLady]

Beautiful work from one of my favorite dancers...I collect Alexandra King footage (old and new), but I still show my students the opening performance of IAMED's 1st awards videos. If you wanna see SOUL, that dance embodies it.

[bellyqueen2b]

Wow! What a lovely way to begin my day! Thank you for your kind comment.

Best Regards,

Alexandra

[Diophanta]

Speaking of older footage, I've seen a tape of an incredible early cabaret performance of Alex's--at an LA night club, I think. I would love to see it posted on You Tube!

[bellyqueen2b]

Thank you. You are very kind! Where are you from?

Alexandra

[aylabellydancer]

Wonderfully and whimiscally done!! What an inspiration!

[ZahiraBellydancer]

Always an inspiration!!! Fabulous!!!

[betsarama]

There is nobody in the world like Alexandra King! Such grace and personality in her moves.

[bellyqueen2b]

Wow! How sweet - thank you very much!

Alexandra

[almazdancer]

And what is the drum solo's name, or from what cd/collectio?

[bellyqueen2b]

The Drum solo is also from the Asena CD.

[almazdancer]

Great drum Solo!!

[bellyqueen2b]

Thank you - you too! It's from the Asena CD....you know it?

Best,

Alexandra King

[almazdancer]

Don't know the CD but when i heard and saw your drum solo, I loved it!

is that the exact name of the CD, Asena?

[bellyqueen2b]

Hi Alma,

Ya, the CD is Turkish and it is titled "Asena" after the famous dancer. The drum solo is also from that CD as is the Chiftitelli I xdo with the UCSB Middle East Ensemble.

Happy New Year and Happy Dancing!

Alexandra

[bellyqueen2b]

Thank you! It's a fun piece of music ot work with.

Alexandra
