Who cares about all that nonsense? Rachel Brice is probably the best bellydancer who ever lived, and will ever live. Every other belly dancer I see is a joke in comparison. A word on dancing for men though, exhibiting female empowerment thru sexuality to bring pleasure to others is natural and awesome. We women are forces of nature, as childbearing will teach you, and as long as we reciprocate that pleasure from dance, whether for men or women, that's all that matters.
I just wanted to add the comment that Belly Dancing was also done to aid in child birth. Girls who are trained in Belly Dancing tend to have an easier time because belly dancing tones the muscles required in labor. In fact, in my family belly dancing has always been taught by the older ladies to the young girls for this reason. Yes it is beautiful, yes guys enjoy watching it, but it most likely was not done for male viewing pleasure when it was first practiced. Congrats to guys who do it too
You're right thinking that it wasn't done for male viewing pleasure. It really wasn't. Women only danced for and with women as a social event and, as you said, to aid in child birth. Women dancing in front of men has always been looked down on very strongly, in all cultures, if you think about it. Which is why they had men bellydance for festivals and in venues with largely male audiences. In Turkey, these men were called köçekler. I do too much reading on this.
I am SO happy to see here some well~educated comments & answers! I get so tired of having to explain all of the above to everyone ~ it's exhausting!!! Thank You!
since you seem to have trouble let me explain AGAIN: you said it was stripping, but it was created as a SOCIALIZING EVENT FOR WOMEN it was how they stayed in touch and made friends, stop sidestepping the issue with abstract tangents. As for difficulty level, clearly you've never tried to belly dance for any amount of time. Everything requires practice, so are you saying that nothing matters or should be appreciated?
Sorry, but i think you're being extraordinarily arrogant and ignorant.
@XxBlackWolfHeartxX hahahahaha! Oh jesus mercy, you are one funny fucker. So what it is a socializing event that doesn't make it okay. If three people socialized with each other by snorting cocaine does that make it okay. I'm sure you would be familiar with that since can't come up with a logical retort.

What a fucking joke this woman is. Belly dancing is not an art form. Anyone who thinks it is needs serious mental help. It is nothing more than stripping which metal tacky shit hanging. Jesus Christ, can't people set their sight a little higher than this shit.
@chroniclesofhensley while it's fine to have your own opinion, before you start spouting crap in public 1) do some fucking research, belly dancing was created by women for women and not for male attention. 2) i dare you to try and pull off those moves, you have no idea the muscle control required. 3) to me football is just chasing a fake pigskin, but that doesn't mean it doesn't take a lot of dedication and practice. i can respect that part. belly dancing is the same, so kindly shut up.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@XxBlackWolfHeartxX Lets consider your useless points, shall we? 1) bellydancing was created by women so its okay. If women created cancer would that still be a good thing? If they are not dancing for male attention then what the fuck are they dancing for? The bongs at the table? 2) Any idiot can shake their hips. It may be hard for you but then again so is thinking. 3) So what it may take practice? Giving a good blow job may take practice right?
@chroniclesofhensley sadly, you must be one of these "men" who believes that this dance is done for your benefit. Umm honey, go back to fixing something, spitting or dergating women as you mysoginists like to do. ANY dance is going to take practice and skill and to compare dance to snorting cocaine is EXTREMELY declasse. I do believe you can't be any older than 23-25 because only young men are ignorant enough to think they know everything. Stay in school, young man.
Ok they are on grecian and roman bowls and on mount Vesuvious villages below them all on the older paintings. On the walls especally the bath houses. The decorations are "normal" interesting that the more things change the more they remain the same.
this is amazing. she is honestly my mentor. I have a video odd my very first performance on here. it was choreographed as a dirty, but my partner quit on me last minute, so some of the moves (like the kicks, and chorus) look a little one-sided and empty. sorry for that, but any and all comments/feedback/critique/suggestions are very appreciated! I dance with a very tribal style, this is just a pip dance for my partner. more, and better to come. just search Erica Mars. im the first vid.
if someone knows the name of the song please tell me, its been stuck in my head since I first heard it. Usually I know arabic, balkan belly dance music but this song is incredible unlike anything i heard.
Esta mujer baila muyy bien...tambien es muy estética.Yo soy argetnina.El tango como se lo conoce ahora, es muy actuado y coreográfico, por lo que no puedo decir que no sea tango, pero si sirve para unir naciones y compartir musica, y para estar en paz mirando un bello espectaculo, me parece muy bien que se vaya introduciendo nuevas maneras de expresarlo
With due respect to other forms of dance, I think bellydance is the most expressive as far as female body is concerned.
The ancient people of the World had an idea or two about beauty and charm that I think we ought to go back to.
One can see in this dance the subtle imitation of a snake. This is particulary important because the sanke is the symbol of charm and ..."sneakiness." Remember Adam, Eve, Apple and Sanke?
Maybe. But as a big Dita fan, I'm starting to believe Rachel is better. Even if the dances are different, Rachel's appears to take more skill. It's more complex. Dita just takes her clothes off, maybe walks on pointe for a little while and plays in a martini glass by splashing water around. After watching Rachel, Dita is underwhelming.
@izlude2 no my good sir. allow me to explain. belly dance back in time was performed for 2 reasons. 1 - entertainment for the sultan and 2 - ...fertility. Today it's a form of art ;)
As Eddie Cantor put it in his movie Roman Scandals, "Keep Young And Beautiful If You Want To Be Loved." AAAh I love that song!!!
@lolanimations Actually, no. "Entertaining the sultan" is a myth created by Western writers.
In an affluent household, the wives were not dancers and dancers were employed mostly for weddings and banquets, not personal entertainment. Remember, men danced (and still do) too. It wasn't a bunch of women dancing for the sultan. ^__^
It would be silly to us, if people in the future though ballet dancing was a bunch of young women dancing for the pleasure of the president. Funny huh? ^__^
@rosereddoll You are kind of wrong on one thing: Entertaining the sultan is not entirely a myth. the sultan was a turkish/ottoman concept, and the ottoman empire was, sexually, a very free place. Not to say that debauchery ran rampant, but cabarets were never disallowed and did actually exist. The sultans did often attend such cabarets and the best performers would actually be invited to perform for the court, but only on special occassions.
@buddycal1 Yes, I agree, sultans were entertained, but I was replying to someone who mistakenly thought that belly dance was for the sole purpose of entertaining the sultan. ^__^ The president may see a ballet performance, but female ballet dancers don't exist to titillate the president. Nor does the president, nightly, have the prettiest ballerina dance privately for his pleasure. O__o I think we are on the same page. Professional royal performances were for special occasions. : )
@rosereddoll Hooray for being on the same page! :D Btw, I just thought I'd throw this out there, during those times, women did not perform in the open (meaning outdoors, like at festivals and such), only men. And because of the culture, most often if the sultan or any of the nobles wanted a "private performance" or to "take someone home", it was one of the male dancers, not the women. Fun facts! :D Idk if you knew that or not, yet, but if you didn't, now you do! ^_^ And so does everyone else.O_o
@buddycal1 Yep! Men and women were allowed to dance in public, then as the culture changed, only men were allowed. We're still on the same page! ^__^ That's funny! I bet Orientalist writers weren't imagining a graceful MALE dancer entertaining the sultan! Ha! I bet that would ruin their belly dancer fantasy. ^__^ I tell some dancers who feel this dance is only for women, that it's not and we have men to thank for keeping it alive when women weren't dancing in public. : )
@buddycal1 That's awesome, there are not enough male dancers! I'm not really into Facebook, I only use it periodically to talk to my sisters overseas. I'm on Youtube more. I think I saw one of your performances on your channel. -___- Ugh! I'm jealous. I don't think I'm skilled enough or confident enough to show anyone a video. *Off to practice!* ^___^
@rosereddoll There is every likelihood that many nobles and royalty are the only people that would have had the money for not only dancers but food, horses etc. Except for the local parties of people that do belly dancing that is.
@izlude2 The modern belly dance outfit is a modern western creation. If you can find a traditional Egyptian dancer, they usually wear a beledi dress.
And remember, not all middle eastern and north African countries have a dress code (especially for performers). ^__^ And not all "belly dance countries" are Muslim. And the ones that are weren't always.
@rosereddoll actually if you watch the very beginning and early old egyptian films you can see belly dancing outfits. they've been around for a long time, but yes, some wore beledi dresses. not all.
@paniuroczy Yeah, movies influenced the rise of the outfit. Particularly western movies, whose images were repeated in other countries. The sparkly bra and skirt did not originate in the middle east, though. You're right they have been around for a long time though, but considering how old these styles of dance are, I find the advent of cinema to be "modern".
@rosereddoll true. I like this cabaret style better. although, I believe that few of the early outfits showed some belly, like the beledi dress whose opening went down to the belly. I may be wrong though. thank you for sharing, it's very interesting.
Well now. if everyone danced the same dance all the time, it would be pretty damn boring, would it not? personally i find the earthy old world village styles of tribal fusion (hence tribe) has more definition in the body isolations. many dancers will find it more challenging. i love how each song can have a new interpretation, especially when fusing in other styles and dances. my favorites, flemenco and romani gypsy
@urbanburglary It's called an ab roll. All it is is pushing your stomach out and then sucking it back in. One of the easiest belly dance moves to master actually.
@Zavarys fuck you fuck face since you took on your self to respond to me go lick her ass .......dont call every thing and any shit belly dance ......may be you shit call it asslicking by zavary's dance kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
the first time i ever watched belly dancing was on tv, and wqed was showing a few clips of belly dance superstars and i remember seeing Rachel Brice doing her tribal fusion, and i remember feeling awed. soon after i found out that they are coming near where i live, and now i can't wait, and i'm saving up my money to buy a couple tickets to see the show =)
I've been looking for the song playing ever since I found the video and finally found it!! Look it up on youtube as "Ensemble Mizmar Baladi - Tayyara". :D
Oh by far!! I agree 100%!!! YOu see the controll she has! I saw the girls on America's got talent and was like "NO WAY! YOU have to see this woman to know how a belly dance can look compaired to the others. This woman is AMAZING!!! Either way I'm voting Prince Poppycock on that show.
Sadie and Kaya(?) were on AGT however sadie is at the same skill level as Rachel both amazing both apart of belly dance superstars. Kaya on the other hand....
@vishal676 It is interesting that you have noticed this. Belly dance aids in digestion, can improve tonus of GI tract, increases blood flow to those areas. Especially good for PMS relief. Externally, when danced frequently, strengthens your torso's core muscles. Like your own muscular girdle.
Remember Bruce Lee talked of his "iron shirt"? Same thing.
She really is an amazing dancer :) I just love her sooo much!
I'm a belly dancer myself and at the moment I'm trying to do some shimmy and ribcage movement at the same time, such as she does... but it's soo hard.. really amazing ;)
the fact that i can see her ribs kept distracting me...IMO dancers should have a little more meat on the bones, it makes the moves more sensual. kinda hard to bellydance with no belly, lol.
Some people wrote that she ´s is best at all, not really.. u will change your opinion if u watch this here ....../watch?v=0G6Kp_I8WNU or another video of her
@Can10ful I don't think it can be compared. Yours is a Turkish belly dancer, and Rachel Brice does tribal belly dance. Every country has a different way of dancing, and tribal isn't even traditional BD and is not danced in the same way exactly. And in art, some people are touched by this artist, some other by that artist. That doesn't mean one is better than the other. But I do like Rachel Brice better.
mm... le hace falta màs estilizar sus ondulaciones en abdomen!!! ... pero... realmente sus tecnicas vienen màs de egipto... que de arabia, turquìa o libano.. asì que sì lo vemos por ese lado... està bien.... :)
You're right about some of the traditional stuff being a little lame. Or just kinda, you know, too old. And I do like a lot of the new tribal stuff. I just try and keep my dance as pure as possible.
I would definitely incourage everyone to practise their freedom and right of dance, worship, and cult or religion. In this place we can watch the excellence of the open mind in its true workings. Brice ROX!!
The subtlety in isolations sometimes escape the attention of the less than observant observers. They see long hair and twirling as a form of dance. FINE, but that is not the same as the art of belly dance. In other words, rock on!.. Rachel Brice!!! Your dance is far superior to many twirling twits!!!
@ANNIEPANNIES I agreed with you until you insulted. I love Rachel Brice, but her style is different than traditional belly dance. She does tribal or tribal fusion, which is an American invention. So it's different than traditional belly dance.
Daaaaaaaaaymmmn girl got some moves! Super jealous! It's beautiful!!

I bet that would ruin their belly dancer fantasy. ^__^ I tell some dancers who feel this dance is only for women, that it's not and we have men to thank for keeping it alive when women weren't dancing in public. : )

@rosereddoll Well, I'm glad to be one of those men in modern times, trying to keep the tradition alive. :) You should PM me. Do you have Facebook?

@buddycal1 That's awesome, there are not enough male dancers! I'm not really into Facebook, I only use it periodically to talk to my sisters overseas. I'm on Youtube more. I think I saw one of your performances on your channel. -___- Ugh! I'm jealous. I don't think I'm skilled enough or confident enough to show anyone a video. *Off to practice!* ^___^

@rosereddoll There is every likelihood that many nobles and royalty are the only people that would have had the money for not only dancers but food, horses etc. Except for the local parties of people that do belly dancing that is.

@izlude2 The modern belly dance outfit is a modern western creation. If you can find a traditional Egyptian dancer, they usually wear a beledi dress.
And remember, not all middle eastern and north African countries have a dress code (especially for performers). ^__^ And not all "belly dance countries" are Muslim. And the ones that are weren't always.
rosereddoll 1 year ago 36
@rosereddoll actually if you watch the very beginning and early old egyptian films you can see belly dancing outfits. they've been around for a long time, but yes, some wore beledi dresses. not all.
paniuroczy 4 months ago
@paniuroczy Yeah, movies influenced the rise of the outfit. Particularly western movies, whose images were repeated in other countries. The sparkly bra and skirt did not originate in the middle east, though. You're right they have been around for a long time though, but considering how old these styles of dance are, I find the advent of cinema to be "modern".
rosereddoll 4 months ago 5
@rosereddoll true. I like this cabaret style better. although, I believe that few of the early outfits showed some belly, like the beledi dress whose opening went down to the belly. I may be wrong though. thank you for sharing, it's very interesting.

Well now. if everyone danced the same dance all the time, it would be pretty damn boring, would it not? personally i find the earthy old world village styles of tribal fusion (hence tribe) has more definition in the body isolations. many dancers will find it more challenging. i love how each song can have a new interpretation, especially when fusing in other styles and dances. my favorites, flemenco and romani gypsy

@urbanburglary It's called an ab roll. All it is is pushing your stomach out and then sucking it back in. One of the easiest belly dance moves to master actually.

the first time i ever watched belly dancing was on tv, and wqed was showing a few clips of belly dance superstars and i remember seeing Rachel Brice doing her tribal fusion, and i remember feeling awed. soon after i found out that they are coming near where i live, and now i can't wait, and i'm saving up my money to buy a couple tickets to see the show =)

vishal676 1 year ago
@vishal676 It is interesting that you have noticed this. Belly dance aids in digestion, can improve tonus of GI tract, increases blood flow to those areas. Especially good for PMS relief. Externally, when danced frequently, strengthens your torso's core muscles. Like your own muscular girdle.
Remember Bruce Lee talked of his "iron shirt"? Same thing.

PruneSucree 1 year ago
@Can10ful I don't think it can be compared. Yours is a Turkish belly dancer, and Rachel Brice does tribal belly dance. Every country has a different way of dancing, and tribal isn't even traditional BD and is not danced in the same way exactly. And in art, some people are touched by this artist, some other by that artist. That doesn't mean one is better than the other. But I do like Rachel Brice better.

The subtlety in isolations sometimes escape the attention of the less than observant observers. They see long hair and twirling as a form of dance. FINE, but that is not the same as the art of belly dance. In other words, rock on!.. Rachel Brice!!! Your dance is far superior to many twirling twits!!!

campbellnova 1 year ago
@ANNIEPANNIES I agreed with you until you insulted. I love Rachel Brice, but her style is different than traditional belly dance. She does tribal or tribal fusion, which is an American invention. So it's different than traditional belly dance.
