Glam-Gothic Belly Dance (City: Am Fenster) by Chryssanthi Sahar, Heidelberg, Germany

You did a wonderful job. You have very smooth movements and your transitions were great as well. The only issue I saw was when you first got up. I am not sure if you weren't used to the costume but you looked a little bit hesitant? anyway other then that it was wonderful! I hope I can at some point get up in front of an audience and do as well as you did.

@sosimplymagical Thank you :-) You are right about my getting up, but the reason is simple: I stepped on the skirt *lol* I'm not used to such wide skirts, because I normaly wear classical Arabian costumes, so I got carefull when I stepped on it while getting up, because I didn't want to suddently be without skirt on the stage *lol* OMG, that would have been a disaster!

@chryssanthi This costume that you wore looks great. Also, the movements are smooth and the overall choreography is amazing. What is the name of the song? It has an almost spooky feel to it that adds an extra special something to this performance.

@chryssanthi I have seen a lot of Gothic fusion Bellydance performances before but this performance is both very unique and innovative. I loved watching this:)

[chryssanthi]

@Mr111989 Thank you so much :-)

[Mr111989]

@chryssanthi What really made this a spectacular performance for me was your musicality and the fact that you engaged the audience while they watched. You have such a great stage presence. If I may ask, How long have you been practicing Oriental Dance? What was the first performance that you saw and at what point did you decide that being an Oriental Dancer was something that you wanted to do?

[chryssanthi]

@Mr111989 I've been dancing belly dance since my very early childhood. I grew up with the Greek Tsifteteli (Greek bellydancing), but I got into the Arabian style (Raqs Sharqi) in my early twenties, so I've been dancing this style more than 25 years now. I am a professional dancer and teacher since 1990. So you see, my whole life is about dancing ;-)

[Mr111989]

@chryssanthi One of the things that truly amazes me is what you just said. I always knew that you and every other Oriental Dancer had practiced for quite some time but never did I think that the practicing and perfection of this artform started out from childhood. It always boggles my mind how it is that talented women and even men managed to Oriental Dance since they were children and yet it makes my appreciation for this dance even stronger than before.

Dear Chryssanthi, I like your new video very much. Gothicglam fits you very well and you dance here so elegantly and so powerfully at the same time. One can clearly see that you are having loads of fun.

[chryssanthi]

@Yadilove Yadi sweetheart, thank you so much. I really had a lot of fun dancing this wonderful song ;-)
