Frank - Tribal Fusion

[scotiedoo13]

wow!!! it was good.. he jus needs to learn his arm movements a little more.. and then damn! he jus keeps his arms to low to his side

[ShimmyliciousLili]

@scotiedoo13 This video is from 5 years ago! If you want to see "good" (Lol. I lol because he's so beyond good!), you should check out his newer videos. Search for Frank Farinaro. Have fun and good luck leaving your computer!!! Frankie is beyond amazing....<3

[TribalFusionMom]

Frankie....you are so flipping cute here! XD

[HarleyCatherineQuinn]

wow, this is awesome! I love seeing guys bellydance, so sexy

[stargannon]

Seriously, Frank you fuckin ROCK!!!!

[Yoockee8D]

Tribal fusion not only for females! Great performance without feminine moves!

Makes me wanna go for lessons! XD

[molarmama5]

This is not belly dance but modern jazz--remember Fosse did bumps and grinds also.

[molarmama5]

@molarmama5

I forgot to add as I was interrupted. You are very good.

[psychobunny32]

very cool. more videos please

[BellydancerFrank]

@psychobunny32 definitely check the newer ones my searching my full name Frank Farinaro

[ffferol]

Hey, Frank, just found this again, and thank God we have some decent footage of your awesome natural power and flow. Lord, have mercy, you are so good, such a natural organic dancer! Four YEARS ago, can hardly believe it. You already had so much of this perfected, and yet in 2010 you were even better. Just amazing, Frank, how delightful!

[townsan1979]

He is beautiful as well as a every entertaining performer.

[spiffymo]

Awesome! I love to see male belly dancers keep the movements fluid, but less feminine. love the arm gauntlets too!

[ffferol]

Frank, just found this! Wow, you looked so young in 2006! I can only say that in 2009 you had come a LOOONGG way and if this is where you started, no wonder! Your dancing in 2009 was so raw and specific and powerful and tight and your intent was perfect. And this video is great! I couldn't find a good one of you in August after Ya Halla Dallas. At least now we can talk about you on facebook. Thank you! Friend me out there and show me your new stuff if you want fans~

[Nonameaccepted]

THAT IS AMAZING!!!!! I love it

[shadedelman]

Thank you, Frank! My teacher, Leslie (from Ottawa, Canada)was in Colorado in April and took some workshops with Rachel Brice and others. I'm hoping to come for next year. Rachel is coming to Ottawa in October. I'm so excited! If I could be one tenth the dancer you are I'd be very proud. You are a star! *gushing*

[shadedelman]

As someone who actively pursues tribal bellydancing I find Frank Farinaro so inspiring. I'd love to know the name of this song. Great performance!

[BellydancerFrank]

Thank you so much! This video is from forever ago!!! This song is MIA by MIA

[tiphny]

I am not often a fan of male belly dancers as I find they too often look very feminine but you are SUPERB! LOVED IT! The dancing and the costuming were great! I'm pretty jealous over here...lol

[musmeramirez]

I would like to see a little of your recently work in this style, I'm completely sure that now is really tremendous. Nice performance this video, I enjoyed it to much and you look really handsome!

[kamikoe]

Work on your arms a little. You can move, but your arms are too often at your sides. Try to work on your frames and it will make your dance look even better.

Bravo performance! I love male TS dancers. :D

[BellydancerFrank]

Thank you so much, but PLEASE keep in mind that this video is from 3 years ago & my dancing has improved greatly since then.

[dino33nyc]

How Gay! Hot!

[RITUALIC]

SE LLAMA ARULAR NO GALANG

[niquieand1]

I thought the title of the album was Arular.....

[maleada]

.. I think I am in love!

[andressviercovich]

nice moves... have you ever try GOTHIC TRIBAL?

[YoliPrincess]

Rachel Brice is better... kkk

Great video....

[Lebizarre]

Wow! Wonderful! *drools and faints*

[farashahanem]

WHOA, you are AWESOME!!! Fantastic Turkish drop! :D How long have you been doing Tribal, and who are your influences?

[wootentacles1]

Whew! SEXY! Most male belly dancers have a tendency to move in a strange, feminine way, but he manages to project a very masculine vibe. Excellent!

[Judi1986]

I'm very impressed. I don't like men dancing tribal fusion but you're honestly great :)

[faintmat]

That is the most amazing belly dance I have ever seen. But who can tell me the name of the music?

[Bellydanceshiva]

sounds like natasha atlas

[photonXspark]

It's called Galang by M.I.A.

Love it!

[faintmat]

That is the most amazing belly dance I have ever seen. But who can tell me the name of the music?

[BoodaBeli]

Whoa, he blows my mind. Incredible. o.o

[boobalooba777]

drum..sorry :)))

[boobalooba777]

compare it with "drumm solo (alexandros)" :) it´s not tribal but that guy has more feeling and his belly waves are just great

[IshtarMnezeth]

I love that he made it more masculine. When they do it the female way its kind of creepy but he is so awesome. It just plain works wonderfully. : )

[ShimmyShaykr15]

WHAT SONG IS THIS? someone please tell me!

[BellydancerFrank]

MIA by MIA

[ShimmyShaykr15]

Awesome! Thank you! Your dancing is AMAZING! How did you learn?

[BellydancerFrank]

I am mostly self-taught. This video is from so long ago. It really isn't the best reflection of my work. I have my second audition with Bellydance Superstars this weekend in LA!!! Check out my other videos by searching under "Frank Tribal."

[ShimmyShaykr15]

That is awesome! I live in Iowa and there really isnt anywhere I can go for classes so I do alot of research and watch videos millions of times over to get better. And gawd would I kill to meet the Bellydance Superstars! Rachel Brice, Sashi,Zoe Jakes, and the Superstars are possativly my top four favorites! And I will definitely check out your other videos. You are very talented!

[ShimmyShaykr15]

DAMMMMMMNNNNN!!!!! HES A GOOD DANCER! Very sexi too! ;)

[tashamia]

you know i have yet to see a male bellydancer that was bad. just great stuff.

[Judelva]

Now THIS is what I call art.. Wow.. and what a cutie too.. lol:) Awesome performance and technique!

[Kamilliddle]

You go Frank! Awesome!

[roseofmarble]

I ~love~ this dancer. I love that is is a man dancing like a man. and very well.

[sb678]

i love this song and ive heard it before but does anyone no wat its called?

[annariel1979]

Hot DAMN!! I love watching male bellydancers. Your technique is awesome. Will deffinately be looking for your other viddies

[phoenixheffa]

[LaidAndVincent]

Hugzz

Vince

[BellydancerFrank]

Thanks buddy!!! This is such an old video. Search under "Frank Tribal" for the newer ones.

[tiagooliveira1]

esse foi o melhor que eu eu já achei de h DANÇANDO a dança do ventre gostei ficou legal

[IKimberlyAnneI]

Great ab control and pop locks... But don't forget to raise those arms and you'll be awesome!

[gthlvrmx]

jaja ohhh this is soo cool :)

[missybch28]

Hes awesome and also whats the name of the song more so the bands name i want that song

[ThemHooligans]

It sounds like something MIA's done. If not, it's at least similar to her style enough to be confusing. I really like this song though.

[Sarastrah]

Hehehehehe..!!! But he´s good!

[ytubewatch]

never seen a man dance like this before

(except maybe Tarkan dances similar?)

[ytubewatch]

enjoyable but that curvy thing you do with your stomach looks scary

[thetoxicsoul]

Hell yes, shake it baby!

[LaidAndVincent]

It's definitly a pleasure to watch you dance.

[DementedDeva]

I seriously watch this everyday lol dis mah song and your a babe!

[BellydancerFrank]

you're a sweetheart

[DementedDeva]

Sooooooo hot omfg!

[Sarastrah]

Weird... But kind of sexy too... A little to feminin for my taste, though...

[sixnow25]

Me likey!

[swirlygrrl]

Damn, you're hot! You dance beautifully.

[ScarlettDarkWaters]

Fantastic! Never seen anything like that muscle control - oh to dance like that! My bf is doing his first show with me soon, and is really inspired by you! Great to watch!

[staticfax]

yay too you can't convince my hubby to take any kind of dance lessons with me.

[albin0rhino]

youre the first guy ive seen bellydance! You're so good!

[Chandara]

Looks great - sharp moves but shimmyish when need be - great hipwork, great shoulder work! :)

[elemacarriel]

It's graceful and sexy at the same time lol. You're very talented.

[BellydancerFrank]

Thank you so much.

[elemacarriel]

Well then, you're a very fast and good learner. ^_^

[Oookekelala]

Frank whats the name of the song? By the way i have to say ur sooooooooo attractive and ur dancing just blows me away im Lakeisha nice to meet ya!

[BellydancerFrank]

Thank you!!! Song is a Bonus Track on MIA cd Arular.

[poppymu]

Frank, you're amazing! How many years of exercise did you need to achieve this?

[BellydancerFrank]

I got this after my very 1st bellydance workshop. It was with Kami Liddle of Bellydance Superstars.

[wytchgrrrl]

Frank, youre awesome!!

[BellydancerFrank]

Hey folks! I love all the comments! Thankx a bunch! The song is a bonus track from MIA's album ARULAR

[iconwhore817]

whats the song called?

[Prismaticjoi]

totally hot dude. got the same build as my husband gonna show him and convince him to take up belly dance for my benefit at least. most male dancers come off to effeminate he'd shy off (not to knock that just rare to find) I love those bracers too.

[Prismaticjoi]

woops loged on my friends didn't know he had a you tube thing

[staticfax]

logged in right, you rock

[BladeLover]

you're awesome, dude!!! i love the moves... great song too, but what's the title?

[Yuronei]

Wow...that's crazy O_o HE's cute too and I LOVE THOSE WRIST GUARDS! >_<

[BellydancerFrank]

Thank you!!!

[arabithings]

very impressive.

[anamadeit]

Wow! I just started learning tribal bellydance and I just love how you do it! I wish I had lots of money so you could show me how you do that! I will learn and hopefully be as good as you are!

[BellydancerFrank]

It's all about drilling drilling & more drilling!!!

[velcrotrainer]

never in my life would i expect to see someone belly dance to m.i.a. but i like it! he's really really good! great popping and belly work.

[BellydancerFrank]

Thank you!!!

[kitchenfairy]

i love this!!

[lyndeer]

wow could you please give the name of the song ??? pleeez !!

[velcrotrainer]

it's "m.i.a." from the album "arular" by M.I.A., who is awesome.

[MeMarySilly]

Wow!!!!!!! You are divine!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[jabidde]

I admit I almost didn't watch this - when I saw "male belly dancer" my first instinct was to move on but my curiosity got the better of me and I'm sooo glad it did. I'm so inspired!! It's as if I've got a belly dancer mother (Rachel Brice) and belly dancer father (Frank) now!!! Frank, you rock!

[SmashingRay]

*jaw drops*

THAT WAS SO AWESOME! I WANNA LEARN HOW TO DO THIS!!!

[lorddarkfall]

DAMN AND A HALF FRANK!! I am learning tribal fusion my self I hope I can move as good as you one day soon,(SO far I am great at the turkish drop) I wanted to know what got you involved in this

[Meaheiwa]

WOW. wow wow wow wow wow wow wow. Who ever you are, you are awesome. I was looking for proof that Tribal style and belly dancing is not only for women but for men too. Your bodily awareness and Technique is SUPERB! You truely celebrate your body :). Thank you for such a wonderful performance. :D

[BellydancerFrank]

Thank you so much! This video is from forever ago! I say it's 1 for the archives!

[salsabelly]

I hope that doesn't mean that you've stopped dancing. Brilliant video. I loved it.

[BellydancerFrank]

NEVER THAT!!! I have 2 newer videos under "Frank Tribal." I'm still performing & touring. I just started teaching too. I'm taking my workshops wherever people will host me, & folks around the CO area are pretty jazzed about 'em.

[YWCH1291]

dude! i love your movements you give "us" the self-taught dancers great hope and light!!!

[ksearls2]

props for dancing to m.i.a.!

[CarloGranados]

It's an amazing video. I liked the masculine attitude and the gear was great!

[wigglebump]

OMG! It makes me stutter! WOOOOW

[oddlittlechild]

this is awesome. a male bellydancer that doesn't look rediculous.

[thinbegin]

the bellydance/break fusion works really well for him!

[RITUALIC]

IMPRESIONANTE, REALMENTE IMPRESIONANTE, ES HIPNOTICO VER COMO BAILA ESTE CHICO, MIS RESPETOS, }

Frank, give me your email, I am your admirer and I want a photo yours, please

[XenaAmazon]

Wow...he's good :)

[SaveTheTapirs]

Wow, beautiful. And actually kind of...masculine.

[Iccarusdreaming]

:D I bet he's all the rage in his dance community! Good male dancers are always the pet of the dance community. Love him...but I agree with what someone else said about projecting a powerful stage presence

[valante]

awesome! the way he is dancing looks just great! and the music also was the good choice. i love tribal style and this performance rocks! it fascinated me.

[ZahiraBellydancer]

Fabulous - would love to see you dance with a held back rigidity of power from your eyes...it'll really pull your audience in.

[Kasiopeier]

Wow,he is sweet and his dance is breathtaking!

[marlotta]

This dance is great!Does it gives more videos by you?

[sevenlol]

this is not beşşydance..this just a mixture of cultures..just some moves were looking like belly..but anyhowe this is awesome..as u said is unusual, but fore sure not bellydance..if ya wanna c belly look at my video:) c ya all!

[sharina111]

a wonderful, unique fusion of dancer and music, nothing short of spellbinding. beyond random categorization of `styles' that some `tiny' people are wont to apply. This dancer is magic.. he knows it, his audience felt it. Beyond that, nothing matters (especially the very un-generous comments of a very small minority). Rock on Frank!

[EasyStreet]

Wait till I upload his new video...and the one from his STUDENT! Hee hee hee. Don't hate him because he's beautiful ;)

[heinz57V]

found it it takes diligence her full name is MIA Arular

that makes finding the msuic easier

[heinz57V]

found MIA on myspace but can't find this song- but the style is so unique it has to be her there's alink to her website from her myspace

[heinz57V]

mia by M.I.A. seems to have not worked is there some other idea of who this might be if this is not right?

[heinz57V]

what is the name of the song or the artist it's amazing?

[fwabblewop]

I think this is an amazing video. I didn't even know he was self taught. Couldn't tell. He's really great! :)

PS: Don't listen to people who leave such horrible comments, it isn't worth your time to read them and respond, and it isn't worth their time to comment on something they don't care for.

[tinywhiny]

sorry but this is a travesty to belly dance. he has skill if only he would learn proper belly dance instead of this pirate copy which ruins the whole point of the dance. U have skill man, 4get "tribal fusion"

[EasyStreet]

As I was reading the comment from "tinywhiny" about my video clip, I was listening to iTunes and "Head Like a Hole" was playing. Coincidence? I think not.

[tinywhiny]

LOL! Well Ignoramous u can continue to shame urself looking like a gimp trying to "belly dance".Whatever stlye of dance u were aiming at u missed by a long shot! Leave tribal fusion to Rachel coz shes the only person who can pull it off without looking ridiculous. Like I said u have skill, shame ur wasting it doing something so rubbish.

[EasyStreet]

Why is it that the people who can't spell seem to have the most to say? Your comments are equal to your typing and grammar skills. P.S. I am not the dancer in this video. I am the camera operator.

[tinywhiny]

My grammer skills are irrelevant to my knowledge on belly dance or music. I write this way so I can fit everything in. Anyways soz thought u were the dude tryin 2 get rude. Fact is this really isnt belly dance, and will never be belly dance..ever!

[Yonisha]

First time I see a male version of Tribal Fusion, AWESOME! BEAUTIFUL! VERY WELL DONE!

[sharina111]

This guy rocks!! Can someone tell me what music this is?

[luoti]

I think nothing comes out of the dance, no feeling, no emotion. Dance should be about that at first, before being a technical matter.

[xLadyxJueglerrx]

That was awesome. ;D

[raqssharkidancer]

You're awsome!!! I enjoyed this very much, keep dancing!

[nadira88]

Wow! Loved it. You're so creative, good attitude, and GREAT moves! Hope to see you live some day

[arboxer]

Awsome you kich ass!

[katraqueen]

Love your moves....and i'm glad to find such of wonderfull  performance...kisses ERIKA

[marybassclarinet]

Damn, you're really good! Thanks so much for sharing this clip. :)

[chalila]

[GhostlyLadyOfShalott]

It's like one of her first songs she did, so it's hard to find on any of the C/D releases when Googling it. Hopefully this link will work for you. It's one place I found while I had the time to look for a listing of the song used in this video with Frank.

[xxxFreakyxxx]

Does anyone know where I could get this song?I can't find it anywhere!:(

[EasyStreet]

I think the band is M.I.A.

[GhostlyLadyOfShalott]

Smootches...Thanks so much, it was indeed Mia by M.I.A.

[GhostlyLadyOfShalott]

Btw..Does anyone know the music piece he performed to?

[GhostlyLadyOfShalott]

H-O-T!!! Great dance! He is one of the best male dancers I've thus had the grace to see perform!

[xxxFreakyxxx]

You are great!!I love those things you have on the hands!!!What is that song called?

[TribalLotus]

If it doesn't clear up soon, I can always reload it.

[BellydancerFrank]

I've noticed that there has been an issue. I can't seem to get this video to play on my computer either. I don't know if it is an issue with the site, or with whatever internet service provider a computer is runnung on, but I just a message from a friend on tribe who saw it. I hope it'll resolve itself soon. I might have to contact the site.

[TimHayes]

I can never get this video to play on my computer.

[Earthdancer]

[BellydancerFrank]

nything under the Bellydance Superstars Logo. Males should keep their fingers together unless they are doing mudras with Indian fusion.

[NajlaBellyDance]

Oh! I have never seen a man dancing as well! Except Amir Thaleb

[DimaRakesah]

Wow! Aiwa!

[skbeaman]

great technique, great music, and your costume is badass :)

did you make it yourself?

[BellydancerFrank]

Thank you for the complement! I made the belt & headgear, but I bought everything else.

[Tat2moon]

You should teach,Frank. If don't already.
