phaedra, you are a truly gifted dancer. i had always wanted to try belly dancing, as i grew up watching a troupe perform for a renaissance fair. (they are affectionately known as 'the bare naked bellies")
This was amazing. and just because it might not be your traditional belly dancing music doesn't make it any less beautiful, so what who cares if she wants to fuse it or whatever and make her own style then thats her right, and she's good at it. I wish I could do that.
I know my stylization and music choice is not accepted by some bellydancers. but i am not dancing for anyone but myself. hopefully one day you all will be a little more openminded to the world of dance. this is a FUSION piece. thanks for your input though.
I'm sorry but dont u know that lately, a major number of bellydancers are getting modern and/or western songs for dancing? Atleast the serious ones, the ones who REALLY study bellydance (the dance, not the arab culture! u know its 2 different things right?) dont have a limited line of songs, they can do well with any song they choose to dance. THATS the real art of bellydancing.
Sorry Kakyobr, But i don't like the music, I "wrote" she dance very well.. but the music Sucks...... sorry you have your ideas, I respect that, but I dont believe in your ideas, only in my own. Thinking.. about that, the music, the clothes, hairstyle.. for me If I will see this video with other clothe or song, I would have written: AMAZING.. Im sure the belly dance is a culture! My FRIEND read MORE! ABOUT THAT... THE BEGININGS OF THAT DANCE..
Actually i read alot, but i also read about the evolution of the bellydance. Nothing remain as it was in the beginings, after centurys everything change. You or anybody else can show us how the dance was in the beginings because for it you would have to be there in the beginings. People evolve, art evolve, culture evolve. Stay stunned in an ancient time is just a foolish way to be atached to ignorance!
Hey, how about the two of you grow the hell up. It's a fucking dance for pie's sake!! Phaedra danced how she wanted, to the music she wanted, with the clothes she wanted. Whoopdi-friggin-do. If you don't like it then don't watch.
Evoloution is wonderful but to learn to evolve you still must understand the root. Without that a new technique is baseless and meaningless. Even "popping" dance has root its derived from. No one can show you how it was from the beginning either unless you go back through time. Too much fusion in culture from India to Moorish Spain before ottoman empire even.
Ok. Kakyobr, thanks for your comentary, Today Im learned more about your opinion, and I apreciate that, Í like and I love the belly dance, and thanks for all, can we be friends?
I know a lot SERIOUS dancers, and not one of them would dance to something that wasn't considered belly dance music. What Phaedra is doing is a different style yes, but she's probably using music to suit the style. Been to performances where not one bit of proper music was used. Yes a good dancer can dance to anything, but that doesn't mean she should. I would never categorize myseld as an Egytption/Turkish dancer but come out using country music.
@Wyndre She is dancing Fusion Bellydance and us "SERIOUS" fusion Bellydancers use what moves the Goddess within, if we were stating we were Turkish/Egyptian we would dance to the "proper" stereotypical music. This does not claim to be anything but Fusion Bellydance. Please do not be dance biased and not open to other interpretations of Belly Dance. This was a fantastic piece of Fusion Bellydance and the music was appropriate for this Fusion piece.
@poeticalibi Apparently you didn't get what I was saying. I wasn't insulting her. If you've read other comments I"ve made you would know that I think she is beautiful and talented. I was actually responding to someelse who said what she is doing is not belly dancing but fusion. I'm sorry, I thought fusion was an Americanized form of belly dancing.
@Wyndre Thank you for your clarification on your post, sometimes it is hard to understand how people are actually feeling at the time they type a message. I however did not state that you were insulting the dancer. I hope that there isn't any harsh feelings between us and I wish you all the best.
@poeticalibi You can dance to whatever you want to however you want to. What I said I didn't like is someone saying they are belly dancing to stuff like country, pop and hop hop. Thats my personal opinion. And since you do not know me at all don't accuse me of being closed minded. I happen to be one of the most open minded people out there. I would NEVER do that to dancers as I've seen what it can do to a community. We stick together no metter the style.
it's not more like breakdance. I can see that because i know what most of her moves are. I belly dance too and I do mostly tribal moves and thats what I see her doing mostly.
What songs is that she's dancing to? Her outfit is awesome. I've just started to get into the bellydancing thing and trying to get some ideas. Thanks.
phaedra, you are a truly gifted dancer. i had always wanted to try belly dancing, as i grew up watching a troupe perform for a renaissance fair. (they are affectionately known as 'the bare naked bellies")
thanks for inspiring me to dance again. :)
