This is real belly dancing...brilliantly shining through any attire. You don't need the Americanized/Europeanized glitz to have your talents shine through
it starts out slow at first and then its like BAM! She's awsome everything is so controlled and fluid, I love the way she innocently flirts, beautiful <3
nooooo way this is the 1st dance i watch of her. she s just imitating contemporary Mideastern dancers like Dina and Orit in every move.. it s all a direct copy, and NOT a good one.
Neither does she catch the playful Egyptian girl s charm, nor does she go well with the music.
for great non Arab interpretation check out Ranya Renee tahtil shibbak (US).
U mean her facial expression? That's a huge trend now :(.
She was a student of Aida Nur and I think it's easy to see Nur personality in her dance. Btw, Aida danced in Egypt for couple of years in good places.
I think her dance does not suit the music - you and others will have the contrary opinion. That s fine!
Ya I know the facial expressions are a trend - I do not like them on everybody. They have to fit perfectly to be nice in my opinion. It s a "slippery slope" for foreigners and not perfect actresses, Arab or non Arab. I'd avoid it unless the dancer is really feeling like doing it.
It s a risk and can do much damage to the expression I think.
Well, criticism can be different: positive and distructing. In the first case we help somebody with our opinions, in the second case motivation is only one: to ruin. Nobody is perfect, that's a fact. A person can write different opinions, but when he obviously makes only negative comments nobody will care for his critism. Especially, if they are made by a nonprofessional. Just my opinion :) Take care!
hey galinamora I make lots of positive remarks on Non Arab dancers where I feel it justified, some names: Blanca, Ranya renee, Autumn Ward (she s more of a theatrical dancer, but her dance is really nice, even if it s not traditional arabic), on Hizy ya nawaem, a TV talent show for Ukrainian, Hungarian, Brazlian dancers etc.
I wanted to advise you a video that sounds and looks great (not out yet): type in "Ranya Renee Modern Orientale" she seems to explain the musical lines and feeling!
I have no problem acknowledging they developed a particular, unique style of the dance no Arab country has deveioped themselves. Just listening to their music - the Egyptian balady is similarly distinct and beautiful.
"Not perfect actresses" was a euphemism meant for bad actresses (or untrained ones not being "naturals"). No, I am not a dramatist. To my knowledge, theatre critics and educated audiences seldom are.
They are "possible". They are:) Anyway, thanks for the comment about Egyptian baladi.
Yep, there are very few educated critics, so their comments are very valuable (unlike some loud comments from uncultured customers who think about themselves as trustful judges). I'm not an educated ctitic eather, so I'm trying not to be annoying:)
"uncultured customers" is a very good term to put it.
with emphasis on "culture".
This makes someone grown with culture and music over more than 20 years certainly more "cultured" than someone who's practiced movements for some years - putting the emphasis back on the people from the *culture*, not foreigners having learned from so and so who allegedly is the prophet of bellydance in Russia, USA, Argentina.. not trying to be annyoying either ;)
So, no dancing background, no studiing drama, you aren't Egyptian who own this dance, but you think that you can judge a dance becouse you are Arab? I read what you wrote... culture isn't the same is art.I wonder why people don't want to criticize the way helicopters are made, or heart surgeries, or banking systems in US, bur everybody feels free to make comments about art?The reason is simple: the lack of respect.
LOL you feel one has to study as long as a medical surgeon student to be able to feel good dance?
I ve got news for you: in an oriental culture you grow up with the music and the dance. And the feeling of it - and sorry to say, your childish attacks on how Arabs would need to study drama and ballet and oriental dance (!! with Russian "master teachers" I guess?? that makes me laugh) before having the right to judge their own cultural dance simply makes me laugh.
I haven't laughed for long time. Thanks for making my mood better. No comments. I told you:you have tostudy how to lower your voice to do not look so stupid, very sorry.
The last thing: racistick childish attacks belong to you; our little, racistic dumb ass. You I'm curious how a professor can have such silly, racistic daughter, who obviously doesn't respect educations and art.
People having learnt nor understood NOTHING about the dance they perform.
It will be a shock to you: You are dancing the dance of the ordinary people of the Arab lands, the street dance, the dance everyone does in their homes and the majority of Arab girls and women can do better than non-Arab professional bellydancers. I understand you do not understand this: Your art forms (literature, ballet, opera) are not performed by everybody.
I see yr point:foreighners often perform bellydance without proper feelings and understanding of music, that's bad. All u wrote here will be good only in case if they are dancing at parties or with friends. In the case of performance Arabic dance, it is a discipline that is highly refined with other influences added in and must be studied and practiced if it is to be performed in a concert stage setting.
Yet at every women's party over the Mideast, even in Saudi-Arabia which most Westerners would not expect I guess you can find a certain amount of women who, without any classes in their lives, can dance better raks sharki than 90% of professional bellydancers. This is what happened with women like Soheir Zaki or Fifi Abdo - transferred to the concert and movie stage right from their homes. Never any studies.
but we r talking about a stage,not parties, right?For me,Zaki was only one pure crystal of Egyptian dance; I'd say Abdo was a brilliant entertainter, not a dancer(do u see difference?) I'd mention great Naima Akef ,but she was in a circus nd this reason makes u uncomfortable:)Anyway,forget those greats, they are in past.
Returning to oursubject, I want to remind u that each "Classical" dance presented on stage(Persian,Chinese,Ujgur,etc.) is polished by other dances like ballet to meet certain expectations. If each Egyptian can dance on stage,Reda wouldnt exist.Stage changes bellydance too,but it makes it more different.The problem is:to do not lose Egyprian spirit during this filtrations.I'm sure this is possible.Let's be optimistic,thoughtful and KIND.
Thanks, but I''m faaar way from the level of youtube dance
It s called "Ranya Renee Baladi" (not the exact title, sorry can't think of it - but here it is watch?v=Dvnl6qucumQ)
I like the dvd a lot. she performs and teaches in it. She is a great example of a foreigner who brings her own culture into the dance, but enriches it. She trully puts her heart into it, which is beautiful to watch. even as she practices she has emotions on her face. And she s a very classy dancer.
All uwrote above isn't enough for being acritic,becouse criticizm is based on KNOLEDGE and that makes adifferece between a critic and an opiniable person.I read good criticizm,it doesn't have anthing common with what dancers eat and with whom they sleep&etc.The fact, that somebody was born in Arab countries doesn't give a right to consider himself a critic.I'm glad that everybody has his opinion but we have TO RESPECT DANCERS.Thnx again 4opinions but u have to study how to lower your voice,

Well, "perfect actresses"... I can't judge who is a perfect actress and who isn't...Did you study drama?
Btw, I wouldn't say "Arab dance" becouse this dance is owned by Egyptians...Are you Egyptian?

Possible Egyptians differ on this.
