She actually smiles a lot. Zoe has this amazing ability to be able to be dead-serious one minute, completely goofy the next. In some other videos she's serious and then she stops and makes a funny face, making the audience burst out laughing. She has some silly videos on youtube.. like "Zoe showin us a thing or 2 about dancing."
not to get anyone's hopes up (includin mine) but Zoe Jakes is just too good to replicate. noone could ever be as great as her sorry but honestly...look at that (: i luuuuuv heerrrr
None of the videos can capture the .. magic of her live performance. She is entrancing & magical. She possesses some sort of supernatural power. It doesn't translate through video, unfortunately for me. I'm a big fan!
OMG! Look at her core! Pilates me not! Check out when she beds backwards - you can totally see all her muscles! She is awesome! One of the best I may have ever seen (and I've seen quite a few - belly dancers, that is!). Thanks for sharing. Time to do my Pilates! :) Or maybe take up bellydancing? Hmmmm.....
not a band per se, though the yard dogs did release several CDs and tommy and david formed a band called beats antique. Zoe however is the best part for me, she is incredible!
I absolutely love her! I have to watch at least one of her videos every week just as an inspiration of what to aspire to. Her prescence, carraige, isolations, shimmies, etc. She's amazing!
Zoe is beautifully, wonderfully creepy in the absolute stillness of her isolations, the sudden pauses, and the fact that you rarely, if ever, seem to see her blink. Fantastic. ^.^
That. Was. Freakin'. Amazing. I love how she can pop n' lock and then go right back to being boneless. It's crazy, and innovative. Zoe's a talented belly dancer.

I wouldn't call this tribal fushin.
More like robot gothica. I love the way this video is done and she is a great dancer I feel like I'm watching a live performance at the world fair in the 1800's. I know that this is Zoe's own style of dance and she is really creative. I hope to see her doing some new moves in the future without the dramatic head isolations . Its impressive to see a few times but I know she is talanted enough to come up with some even cooler moves.

umm...so key word here being fusion. with pop and lock. thats about it as far as I can tell. I definanlt expect she will come out will some killer new moves in the future, but I don't think she should sacrafice any facet of her style as it is.
It remids me of the pop and lock break dance style of the 80's mixxed with gypsy belly. Very cool. I am always intrigued when female dancers, especially belly dancers, don't fall back on erotica to get an edge.
please, what is this song? :)
i love Zoe <3

i think not - if someone smile, every video looks same. but when she doesnt smile, you can really enjoy just her dancing... :)

I agree Morbidemind! Tribal Fusion dancers often forget that their face can carry much of the dance. Zoe is a gem because she's got it ALL.

The thing I love about her the most next to the unique dance style are her facial expressions.
