u r one piece of an artist...everyone can dance, there is enough dvds and good teachers everywhere, but not everyone can create sth that ends up being nice to look at!
The talent and training shown here take the art of belly dance and fusion to a whole new level. I also wonder if there is martial arts training here too? Stunning!
Thanks! Heeee--you noticed that, did you? *grin* Yes, actually there is a modified version of one of our short form katas in there, in addition to one of the long form salutations and a little of the sword stuff. I was a baby gold belt when I did this piece. Teehee!
It's gorgeous! I've been training in martial arts for 6 years and bellydancing for 9 and have wanted to do more fusion work of the two, especially with sword as you are doing. My style is more kickboxing & karate not as much sword. Was thinking of switching to kung fu maybe for sword, not sure...anyways, I'm so glad to see someone is incorporating this type of fusion it is such an exciting way to contrast the energy of both dances and very integrative at the same time! :) :) BrAVO!! :)
Right on! It is absolutely one of my favorite forms of fusion - heh, both in dancing and in my life. Belly dance and martial arts - it makes for good balance and lots of fun!
there is so much power and presence in your dancing Izzy, its wonderful.

thankye thankye! Yes...that was totally where I was at. Sword dance is always like that for me--a reflection of where I am at any given moment.
