To be fair, Mata Hari wasn't a belly dancer.. that is, she didn't dance raqs sharqi or any variation of it. She incorporated modes of Asian dance with modern.
I just can't believe anyone would watch a sitcom and expect to see real bellydance. They could pay for a real bellydancer or they can pay for a hot up and coming actress... On top of that, people seem to have a hard time paying quality bellydancers what they're worth. You get what you pay for...
lets get real, people - the real dance is done by with & for women. When it's one woman & a bunch of men & alcohol, they're not going to get the real good stuff even if the woman knows what she's doing. Suck up to the biggest uniform while flirting with the cute boy - seems fair to me.
Ok, first of all, we gotta remember, Catherine was very very young when she did this...she was clearly not as experienced as she was when she did Chicago...
There is NO RIGHT to say that she sucks at this or that she is terrible because eventhough she doesnt look like a professional, she is still doing AND AWSOME JOB!!! and besides, I wanna see ANY OF YOU do that onstage...
And again, she was young and STARTING her career...
As terrible as it was, I have to say out of all the other fake belly dancing for tv/movies I've seen on youtube she's the closests to the actual moves. But it still totaly sucked.
Hello it is a T.V. series. You don't really expect her to dance like a professional belly dancer. And if you think this is bad. Try being at a Hookah bar when the dancer is there. And I have seen a movie clip of Fifi Abdo dancing much more seductive than this.
I am a huge Catherine fan so don't get me wrong when I say this is terrible. I loved her dancing in Chicago, but this is not dancing. I am disappointed.
Helen, while it was a great performance I agree that Catherine's belly dance was really done just for the purpose of exciting, teasing and seducing men. If you want to see a really good portrayal of American belly dance, type in "Bogart's Face" and pull up the first link, Kamala's movie debut in The Man With Bogart's Face. Let us know how you like it. :)
You've GOT to be kidding me. I watched it and hated it. The guys were putting money inside of the dancers' bras like they were strippers. And FYI, none of those girls were actually trained belly dancers. That video is degrading to dancers just as much, if not more, as this one is. But I do agree. It is clearly taken from the AMERICAN perspective of belly dance. If you wanna see real belly dance in Arabic movies, look up "Fifi Abdo nour el ayoun" or suheir zaki laylet hob"
I hate this. It's a great performance, don't get me wrong. However, America portrays belly dance as a harem dance solely for the purpose of seducing men. Notice how the room is full of men and she's the only woman there, the way the men look at her, the way she touches the guys face, the look in her eye, and how she puts her leg on the table. America needs to do their research before they degrade beautiful Art forms they know nothing about. Ps. I'm an American Belly Dancer in training.
actually america is what makes it an art form...in its mother countries, especially egypt where it was created, yea its used as seduction. go to an egyptian cabaret you will se worse than this.
@JennelleBelle you dont know nothing!!!! worse than this?? are you serious!!!! a country belly dancer its way better than shakira dancing...just imagine that you caucasian prick!
Americans are not the only ones who degrade the dance. Ask anyone who has ever been to Egypt or Turkey or anywhere in the middle east. the problem with this is that Catherine is not dancing, she is simply making moves.
@Carycomic No. Indy did meet Mata Hari and it's with her he lost his virginity(how cool is that?) but that was before this episode. It's paired with the Verdun episode in the "movie"" Demons of Deception" while Indy was just a foot soldier. This Zeta-Jones clip is from "Daredevils of the Desert" when Indy was a French Spy. Director Simon Wincer took his lots of footage from his own existing movie about the Australian Lighthorsemen and made it into an excellent Young Indy adventure.
@Carycomic actually she played a double agent but not the Mata hari.That was another episode set before Jones became a spy.Check out Flannery's hair!I didn't think they had hair product during WWI!
a few classes to teach her some sharp moves which would have been demanded by the music as she jumped off stage would have enhanced her dance by 400%. she s got quite some talent though.
This is a scene from 'The Young Adventures of Indian Jones'. It was a cool short lived series of two hour episodes produced by George Lucas. It just recently started coming on TV, and I saw this episode...Jones is smoking...she plays a belly dancer/spy...

well, sorry to say, but in much of the oriental countries it actually is.. in most of the clubs women are even prohibited to enter.
they do of course also dance in mixed restaurants, but the club scene does exist.. i heard in the gulf countries (a waiter told me, as i said women cant enter) they even undress often, or wear supposedly "sexy" clothes (secretary style, short skirt, high high heels, blouse, tie..)
