Raqs Sharki was originally for women~ performed for other women by women. Passing from mother (that would be an a woman older than 40)- to her daughter and so on. Through the many years it's been used for many things. It's gone beyond it's historical roots and transformed into a gift women and men can share with the world. Some people choose to distort that into a world where men can decide whether or not we have the right to share this gift. It is our choice to see beyond their illusions. S.S
first song name is ``hey gidinin efesi efelerin efesi`` it is aydin city( west part of turkey) ,folk song.it tells about yoruk ali efe ,one of the hero of the 17 century ....
this may not be traditional bellydance but its very art ful flowing and certainly entertaining this is true artform with the body thank you for posting this vid
@fibragatto thats what my boyfriend thinks also, he told me once tribal dance looks like a bunch of shiny octopus's moving around. lol meanwhile, I love it!! Tribal to me has a quiet sensuality. It's not overt and I don't think it was meant to be very sensual as a dance anyway. The costumes are never sensual, but instead very personal to each dancer. Tribal is the haute couture of bellydancing world. No cookie cutter costumes, bra tassels or spray tans for these ladies! =)
she is about 34 years. and noone "in the midds of forty", sorry, my dear! (other comment), can learn what this yoga-expert does. even if she/he was very young: rachel is an absolut wonder of talent! this, combined with more than 20 years yoga and evryday-hard-training of many hours gives us this sensationel result. (similar horacio cifuentes/berlin)
but start, anyway, dancing, whatever sort of dance, makes happy and fit!
I am in my mid 40's and there are days when I think I am too old to bellydance. Then, I see this beautiful performer, who is in her 40's, maybe a little younger, and I toss those negative thoughts to the wind and start dancing.
@bellydancerocks321 Don't listen to shirocaine ^__^ There is no age limit on belly dance. As long as you enjoy dancing, you should be dancing. Dancing isn't necessarily to please any onlooker. It's to please the dancer. If a dancer doesn't enjoy her dance, she isn't dancing, she's moving around. ^__^ And age doesn't dictate whether or not a dance will be enjoyed by another. I've seen amazing belly dance by people well over 60 and poor performances from 20 somethings. Keep dancing! Best wishes!
@Natsukaze Oh please! I am 59, sheesh, give me a break, I can keep up with my teacher whom just happens to be Rachel's age. I have been dancing this way since 1979!
I hope to keep belly dancing until they place me in a coffin!
@molarmama5 I dont know why you think I should give you a break or why you say sheesh, but I was taught to respect my elders and women, so you get double respect! Im glad to hear you are active and enjoying yourself.
@Natsukaze Then call me Floria Tosca, I live and die for art! If I was LESS than par I would never be on stage. I take the art VERY SERIOUSLY. I have been dancing since 1979! It was my soul that I found! I graduated from Med School in 1978; love my patients, but this is the real me! I have a live and let live attitude about the dance, but I will defend it. IT is too much fun!!!
She's blessed with an exceptionally long and sleek mid-section which is perfect for her choice of dance form. Even so... none can compare! She is The Standard!
Waiting for Miss Rachel Brice to come to NY. I live in Nyack and I would love some tribal fusion over here. I am a belly dancer and all the other belly dancers are turkish which is okay. But NY needs some flare and boldness. Some heart in dancing.
RB on top form as always - I love your interpretation of the music - always something different from you. As to all the comments about your weight - you say you have been sick which I hope you feel better from now - but peeps please bear in mind that RB is an athlete - her muscle tone is always clearly visible and so any minor weight loss will look more obvious on her frame. If she wasnt taking care of herself, she could do what she does! Much love! x
Please DO take good care of yourself. Do Not Be FOOLISH AS I was. Really all medical evidence points to the formula of solid nutrition. I just was worried about your health, both as a dancer and a health care practioner. Rachel may G-D bless you and go to a good MD whom specializes in nutrition. Watch your cortisol levels and your B12 intake. May G-d Bless you and your talent! Please take care! You know we care about you! SHALOM !!!- MFPDMD
Well here we go..........Are you a trained , licensed MD?
I am NOT talking about fat vs thin, as the average UNtrained person may think. I am talking about looking tired, and potentially unhealthy. It is difficult to explain in this short space.
I believe that you think that I was attacking your goddess. I am offering basic sound medical advice. If I did NOT care I would not have said anything!
@molarmama5 I got a bit sick this year, thank you for your concern. I seem to be on the mend but may be underweight for a bit longer until I figure out what's happening.
Rachel Brice: My favorite Tribal dancer. She is so HOT!! Love the whole performance, costume. The 20's thing is OUTSTANDING! Beautiful!!!! **************
lol, no you wouldn't.... i thought that too, and she's very down to earth and a sweetie pie.... i was in awe watching her teach the workshop, but really, you are so busy trying to keep up and learn from her, that your focus becomes the learning.... but i know how you feel ;)
Back to her tribal look with the coins and the bracelets. Must say I like this better than her 1920-Mata Hari look with the skirts and stockings and lace and shawls. And back to skinnyness, she used to have a little more meat last year...
@MLFive I don't know, I kind of like the 1920's look. She can pull off that look off well. I wasn't sure about the sax as a tabla solo but she at least explored it. She seems into going beyond the bellydancing norms and I'm glad she does.
She was never actually scheduled for Folklife 2010, Kami Liddle was. I'm friends with the lady who ran that show and she said there was some sort tech glitch or something on the website, and some how the poster from last year (when Rachel and the Indigo were there) ended up on the page. She was rather unhappy about it.
She needs to stop smoking. her face is looking hollowish and gaunt when you'd see it close up. She's to amazing of a dancer to ruin the young vibrant image I have come to see when I think of Rachel Brice
@Annora2024 Excellent question, wish I knew. I too have been patiently awaiting an Indigo performance from TF '10, or at least a little Mardi Love action.
@CyndiFresh : The Indigo didn't have performed at Tribal Fest10. Rachel brice perfromed as like this video. Zoe performed with 3 more dancers at Friday night( I have those videos). Mardi Love didn't have one.
Well they all taught workshops, but it doesn't specificly say on they're website that they preformed. Usualy the Indigo is one of the first videos posted, but its been nearly 2 weeks and still nothing.
i totally respect all the ats and tribal fusion dancers, but for me rachel brice is the queen and always will be.
those slow accurate and beautiful moves make it so easy to see the difference from the classic form of bellydance. she is so flezible and strong (we say hamsa hamsa against eye:-) ).....well i just cannot take my eyes off her! god bless!
fantastic....bravo!!!!!
