[smileyorb]

Loved it!

[aletubecordoba]

Nice performance...I hate Radiohead.

[eucalynks]

I love your style! I hope to see your performance some time.  Do you live in the States?

[TheIoNTemple]

Strangely creative and created correctly to command attention to originality. Beautiful.

[angelgerrera]

EXELENT!!!!!!!!!!

[alessa7879]

Great job ..! i love ... =D

[drkdrgns]

This is so beautiful.

[StormofSolace]

One of the most beautiful aspects of fusion/tribal fusion is that there are really no "rules". Every piece depicts each dancer/artist's unique talent and spirit that is completely indigenous to them, telling a story with every performance. This is an incredible and powerful piece. Jodi Waseca is truly an epitome of talent and beauty.

[expansionespiral]

Fusion de butoh, danza contemporánea y muy poco bellydance en realidad pero está bueno el performance como expresión artística.... y radiohead genial!

[EmpressBlackisJen]

I like stuff out of the norm like this. It's very a cool and interesting performing arts piece. 

[strawberry6703]

At first I was all "oooo pointe shoes!" and thought there would be a neat integration. I'm disappointed. But the thing here is, untrained feet. It looked uncomfortable. Maybe that was the point of the performance - disjointed and choppy feeling and I get that. But this could have been executed without pointe shoes. The feet were not over the box. The shoes weren't broken in. While on pointe, the feet/ankles/legs weren't straight giving the most support. All this can cause serious injuries.

[EmpressBlackisJen]

@strawberry6703 This was very interesting performance art piece. One should never be that subjective when it comes to performances at events. I personally liked this performance piece. It's something out of the norm, and gives Tribal Fest a break from the norm.

By the way, I took ballet lessons when I was young, understandabe how you feel about about the technique, or from what you said, lack of technique, however, like I said, it's of the norm.

[razorbladecandy666]

wtf is this????

[MarkusOfDoom]

@razorbladecandy666 It's called awesomeness. Very creative performance.

[lilmisschuckles]

Good fusion but I have to agree it isn't Bellydance x

[drillteam87]

@phonemonkey : they don't! Ballerina's do!

[jinjin8399]

...freak!!! I'll have night mare tho~ yeah, its dramatic and unusual :)

[globalgirl33]

gooooooooooooood one!

[iamspecial14]

This is very similar to my personal style of belly dance. =)

[drillteam87]

@iamspecial14 this is really not belly dancing...you know that right?

[iamspecial14]

@drillteam87 lol I am aware I was just saying that sometimes belly dancers DO wear pointe shoes. I wasn't saying this was a belly dance performance. Take a chill pill. I'm a belly dancer. I know what I'm talking about. Sometimes belly dancers do wear pointe shoes to add a little something to their performance, to make their dance unique.

[MachaMongRuad]

@iamspecial14 Really? I've never heard of that.... I'll have to start looking for it now. Sounds interesting!

[iamspecial14]

@MachaMongRuad mhmm! =) I believe one of the belly dance superstars dances on pointe with her belly dance but I don't remember her name. I've seen a video of one of her performances, though and my dance teacher met her.

[iamspecial14]

@phonemonkey we usually don't, but some do to add an extra somethin' somethin' to their performance.

[azulpensar]

ESPECTACULAR

[1nolyphoenix]

[HighonBoots]

[jodidean]

@HighonBoots

song: Everything in it's Right Place by Radiohead, Esther's by Amon Tobin

[MasriKhaleejDancer]

Great and completely amazing "fusion/theatrical" dancing but PLEASE do NOT call this bellydance! thank you

[pixiemeeze]

that was so amazing and theatrical! beautiful piece.

[TheAdamantin]

the great thing about wearing a mask or painting your face all over is that no one is staring at a pretty bellydancer and all her drag. you actually watch the movement taking place! awesome girl, love ya!

[dreadeddancer]

everything in its right place is right i freakin love radiohead and this song and well you for dancing to it !!!! thank you thank you <3<3<3

[avecit]

Jodi... this was AMAZING! 1st time that I see you dance, and you really fascinated me... you body languaje, your expression, the way you applied all this tecniques to create a unique piece... you inspire me girl!

[1cattiva]

I'm embarrassed to use that tired old word for such an amazing, innovative, incredible, artistic, talented performance, but that was AWESOME!

[paledeerwoman]

[NooraAmar]

I absolutely loved watching this performance. Great job Jodi! I hope to see you perform again at next year's TF!

[xristopher42]

Sooo Awesome! You are evergrowing as an Artist Jodi! so happy that you share this with the world. Bless your life ****

[jodidean]

HijouHijou...good point. I only tagged it bellydance as it was performed at a bellydance fest...thanks for your comment!!!

[oleander89]

WOW!

[HijouHijou]

Wow. That was beautiful, I really didn't know what to expect. I'm going to check out your other videos, because this was really incredible. What you expressed with your dance was like remembering a dream. I love when I see a work of art that I really connect with. Just a question though, do you really think the "belly dance" tag is appropriate to this? I would just consider this modern or interpretive dance.

[maritnezP]

Jodi, you are full of creative beauty. You never fail to amaze me! Love you. N
