Le Tango de Roxanne

[starRavenCraft]

Sara you are an AMAZING dancer and teacher, all these people talking about " tango " this and " flamenco " that just need to sit down and shut up, its obviously a fusion price and you danced it BEAUTIFULLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stolensea]

tango is the music inspiration, but you're drawing from flamenco for your costume/makeup/hair. Spain and Argentina/Uruguay are two very different places

[skbeaman]

@stolensea Thank you for your thoughtful criticism. I did this dance at a very small gathering of friends over five years ago, and, being nearly broke, I had to use costume pieces I already owned. If I did it again today I'd certainly do the costuming (and much of the choreography) differently.

[stolensea]

@skbeaman Your costume was still lovely, mind you! That big beautiful skirt of yours is envy-worthy! And also your dance is very lovely too, you are very good at conveying emotion. I just thought you might want to know that your costume came off more as flamenco . . . I understand being broke and still trying to do costuming, I am in a similar situation myself!

[kirudevi]

@skbeaman u danced beautifully! it doesnt matter wat u wear. im a dancer too. being able to interpret dance is an art of its own. dont let other ppl put u down or make u feel bad! hugs from malaysia

[HakanaXKai]

ok,Tango de Roxanne is Tango

*emphasis on Tango* not belly dancing o.e

[philippecapraia]

Trés étonnant sur cette musique , beaucoup de grâce et de fluidité , " ecco una bellissima ballerina ! "

[DutchSilhouette]

Wow, you dance very gracefull and full of expression, beautiful costume as well...

and i get goose bumps every time i hear Ewan McGregor sing "it's mooooore than i can stand" on 1:55...

[lieberock17]

genial!!!!!!!!!!!

[belliedbabe79]

Out of all the belly dance videos done to this same song, hers is STILL the best! Great lighting, costume, and style.

So stick that in your pipe and smoke it, haters! (8P)lol!

[emanuelquijada17]

Moulon Rouge!!

[AnnaHovey]

I like it, but more passion and action would be nice to have. Particularly in the end. It's a culmination!!!!!!

[elenaki2007]

For God's sake...The music is tango......Not belly dancing.:SSSS. Very inappropriate choice of dance or music if you prefer. I do very much like the song and its passion, which the dancer here is obviously lacking.

[Garotarosachoque]

Yeah, you're right, but if you look deeper, you'll see she did a mix of Flamenco, Belly dance and tango :) She did a innovation...lol

[elenaki2007]

True, you're right but I still find her dance incompatible with the music.:P

[JadeHart977]

I wasnt sure at first. I did dance latin and do bellydance... WOW that was amazing! You blew me away. I saw the fusion perfectly and dont worry about what anyone says. Dance is an expression of self! DANCE GIRL DANCE!

[oswright]

Powerful !!!!....5 stars - oscar wright, rome

[tutordiogo]

muito lindo não era o que eu queria ver mas tá show mesmo!!! 5 stars!

[xSouthParkFanx]

I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG!! And that dance was amazing!!

[Freya1824]

really good! I liked it

[SoraxRikulover]

"And please believe me when i say I LOVE YOU!" I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG! LOL

[Nawardanza]

This is beautiful. I like the way you dance

[TheManWithNoShadow]

Well , i cant see the tango part in the dance at all... and yet i like the dance but onother music would be better :)

[wastobe4me]

fusion happens : )

[dimitroubini]

are you crazy???

this is a tango not a belly dance!!

are you not embarased?

find another song it will be better....

[jejuniper]

Who made you the song and dance police? ;-)

[Antuanette63]

meravigliosa......

[kayleydiddyoyo]

i JUST LIKE THIS SONG

i cant buy it on iTunes

u have to but the whole soundtrack and i dont like all of the songs

[rosebloodfaerie]

boy, her hips give shakira a run for her money;P

[Ewa1992]

Alright.... but according to me dance to this song has to be sharp, dynamic, unforeseeable. This was too static for me.

[vistavision2]

nice!!!,  posted vv2

[trypiapontikoula]

this has nothing to do with tango. this is bellydancing with tango music. beautiful nontheless.

[swingbikechick]

Bravo! Bravisimo! claps standing ovation!

Ok now I don't see why it wouldn't be ok to use this song or that song or that other type of music to produce dance. It's all in how you interpret the music, what moves and inspires you, and this was a heartfelt performance. But we all have different opinions :)

[LaraElenieva]

She's a great dancer, graceful and in control of her movements. To me the only flaw was that she did not captured the strength of song, being very soft in moments that required more intensity... but I admire her ability to solo that song.

[sgthoneybee]

the way her hands are moving are pretty awesome

[eggtart26]

It was so beautiful!

[BrazilianItalianGirl]

i liked it very much..

[monicasusanas]

no es tango! es mezcla, si bajo el sonido pareceria un enganchado de danzas, lo lamento no lo entiendo, el tango es de dos, y la fusion no la interpreto, las bely dance creo que tampoco, y las bailadoras de flamenco tampoco.

[AngellicSephiroth]

its not quite as good as it could be but still its good non the less but its because solo is done by self,and the song is meant as a duet and a tango nonthe less this is a very good knock-off

[marlomantiza]

good

[sexyrub33]

que raro!! una mezcla de tango, flamenco y bellydance?? la vdd no me gustó mucho..

[TaylorErinn]

Ok- Compared to the actual movie scene, it's not nearly good as I would've hoped.

It didn't really have as much movement or variety as I would've hoped.

But it was not bad.

[Wrainstone]

Oh my god it´s bad

[OnlyAPoetNeedApply]

Loved it - your technique is beautiful. People who say things are "only for" whatever are exactly the kind of people that it's healthy to ignore. What you did was beautiful and fresh, even in the world of fusion.

[Bek1966]

*giggle...giggle-giggle*

Sara, I do love your sense of humour...and you're young enough to be my daughter, but I sure am learning alot from you...

[Bek1966]

Sara is an amazing dancer and she did wonderfully with mixing the flavour of tango with belly dance...I'm always awed by her talent.

I'm proud to say that she's my teacher...and a great one, at that!!!

[condedelanoche]

I think, that she did a mix, and she didn't a fussion. I mean, she is confused because she danced Arabian and not tango.

Sorry, but it's poor.

From argentina

[666heartagram999]

beautiful belly dancing... but I agree with evaiph that this song is only for tango....

[aliciabrillante]

I was surprised to see belly dancing and not tango but you did an excellent job.

[32DaK]

That whas amazing !

[erinlynne11]

that was gorgeous! i know next to nothing about belly dancing, but its easy to see that you are wonderful at it!

[lausied]

She moves so brilliantly, I love the way she can disassociate her hips through 0:48 - 0:55 whilst doing something completely different with her top torso.

Fantastic!

[evaihp]

i think that she dance very good but i dont like it whith this song.this song is only for tango.........:)

[faydora]

F a b u l o u s....mesmerizing!!!

[jakelin89]

beautiful ^^

[kirudevi]

it took me bout 6mths to do wat she does in 3.34. trust me its not as easy as it looks and my friends are so impressed. its become my barroom trick now! ha ha

[guardiansun]

What an interesting piece of music choice for this. Very well done! And one of my favorite movies ever, so you get bonus points ;)

And I ADORE your skirt!

[eleone8]

Your wonderfull!! I have been to some bellydancing actuations and I saw a flamenco fusion concert once, but they can´t even be compared to what you´re able to do!!! And your coordination is amazing!!

(PDT: pardon my awefull english)

[L1Games]

Amazing! (I Love that piece of music. And pretty much anything from Moulin Rouge)

Very well done and quite graceful!

[2Juicy4Tuti]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! I've always wanted to be able to do that hip thing but I'm a ballet dacer trying to get in to the NZRAD when I'm older ad my teacher says I'll wreak my chances if I start doing that with my hips! D:

[LilixLoveByBlood]

your beautiful! i would like to learn from you^^

[funnystuph]

she kinda puts shakira to shame.lol

[Elinetj]

aaaand she dances out of view lolz

[2Juicy4Tuti]

Is your name by any chance Robbie?

[Elinetj]

no.. :| why

[2Juicy4Tuti]

The comment was very like something my friend Robbie would say and me ad him have a HUGE obsession with the movie Moulin Rouge

[Elinetj]

ooh ok :p well im not robbie ;)

great film though :D

[Videogenius7]

I loved this! I think it captured the emotion of the music quite well, most of the moves went well with the music, and it was quite unique to see this song danced to by a bellydancer!It was great! Thanx for uploading!

[florduende]

it needs more feeling and i think it´s a shame to see a bellydancer dancing this tango , it´s week :@

[erinlynne11]

she did put tons of feeling in it, it said in the description that it was a fusion, and you spelled WEAK wrong.

[QueenBoadicea]

I chanced upon this by accident. It's a breathtaking display of terpsichorean skill and choreographic technique.

[Darioruy]

BRAVOOOOOO

[odetteiscool]

alright. this is mastermind. a mix of belly and tango. i must admit. beautiful job.

[MissAmy94]

I love this I watch it alot!!

[welleah]

This is really gorgeous. I favorited it over a year ago, I think, and I watch it all the time.

[Galindafiedforever]

Wow!!!! Look at those hips. That's so neat. 5*s!!!!

[meganstwins]

God I love this performance so much. I watch it all the time.

[margauxlp]

very good!!!

[iritl]

Just a most marvelous dancing, spirit, body and soul. I can watch this a million times. Thank you.

[desolentcoda]

she's an AMAZING dancer!!

[SirenaBlack]

....WOW. It's like the dancer is part of the music or the music is part of her! So beautiful.

[xilovemybikex]

Sara, I never comment on videos, but I have been coming back to this one over and over for about a year now, and the performance never gets old. You are such an inspiration. :)

[AJLBO]

Belle danse , belle musique , belle femme , bon moment :)

[amunra02]

That was fantastic! I love the the hand movements!

[LilithDancer]

Rachel who? ;)

[isAxArt]

Very sensitive dancer... She can feel the music with her body and soul, and we can even see the emotion on her face. Very beautiful, great work =)

[buatti]

That is incredible! The way your hips shook, your hands waving in every direction. The whole dance was amazing... Wow!

[HecateDancing]

I just love this, awesome !

[StarTwilight227]

Whoever was operating the camera did a terrible job but the dance was the most amazing thing I ever saw and the costume was beautiful!

[ca704]

I watch this over and over - it mesmerizes me. It's wonderful. I usually get bored watching soloists, but not this time.

[gegepi24]

This is the best mix and match dance that i ever see !!! Always stay original !! I love it !!!

[swirlygrrl]

Wow! Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

[Annamarie84]

LOVE IT! :)

[horsejumper4ever]

That was AWESOME. You are an excellent dancer! You interrpruted the music perfectly!

[sheikarab]

Sin palabras....es excelente lo que fusionaste en tu danza, te felicito realemente.

Desde Bs. As. te mando un saludo muy grande.

Sheikarab.

[rebecc09]

Beautiful. Ive always wanted to see someone dance to this song. :)

[luxsinoscuridad]

è un bellissimo intreccio di tango e danza del ventre

[theophania]

Just beautiful.  :)

[eadepatrick]

C'est un réel plaisir de voir autant de grâce et d'élégance dans le geste

[szu330022]

Marvelous! It's a perfect mixture of bellydance and Tango! Wow, I really hope can learn it in Taiwan someday.

[eatsleepbo]

I love this song, and you did a beautiful job of interpreting it - even the complex portions. You also have gorgeous hand movements. Very nice, all around. I just wish that the background had been another color, so we could see you even better.

[gimmeaclmp]

That was absolutely perfect...The detail and emotion were spectacular!

[doronjosama]

That was absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful moves, costume, and perfect interpretation of the song. Bravo!

[mystiqueela]

Absolutely amazing, well done! x

[pattasy]

Perfect preformance, i watched it again today. It never once looked like you improvised. awesome!

[Appassionata]

That was beautiful! I had to keep watching until the end- I couldn't look away!

[yangmay]

This is an innovative performance.It's perfect,without questions,but the intrinsic beauty of belly dancing was lost .I love this performance,but I love the traditional belly dancing more.

[vivaelphaba]

whoa. awesome

[TheDarkGypsy]

I love that song to begin with, but that was beautiful. I loved how her hips moved so perfectly with the violin! Simply gorgeous. And the skirt work was fantastic.

[cheshirekatrina]

Wow. I love that music anyway, but the fusion moves were perfect for the music. Nicely done. I'm now inspired to work even more Spanish dance into my belly dancing.

[MarisaBailando]

WOW; WOW; AND WOW AGAIN!!

[shaiajean]

Quite lovely; perfection!

[Adishakti]

I'm not usually a fan of fusion, but this is fabulous! Just beautiful, Sara!

[MaleBellySerkan]

Its Beautiful!!!

Tango Music,Flamenco,tribal dance,Belly dance elements...Nice Combinations!!!Its realy realy nice!!!!Amazing work...;))



[builtlikebettie]

yeah....wow...this song always gives me chills, but that was just amazing!

[apolk]

All I can say is "WOW." That was exceedingly beautiful.

[skbeaman]

[THETribalDancer]

[FrustratedSnake]

[bethr]

Absolutely beautiful! So flowing and elegant. You make it look so effortless which I know it's not. No wonder you have a such "proud mama" Mrs. R

[FlashOblue]

Gorgeous, Sara! Sorry I had to miss out seeing this in person! Shelia (one of your Mom's students)

[Izlude]

Very cool.
