Beautiful dancer!

[Mr111989]

@chryssanthi This performance is showing me a side of you that I have not seen. A playful and fun side of you. It's brilliant. I detected some hip-hop influence based on some of the dance moves you were doing. It added a little bit of zestiness to an already great performance. Marvelous! :)

[pustuuumapo]

she feels the music thats whats makes this vid cute...

[oghuzzzzz]

what is this song's name say it please because ı want download from net

[chryssanthi]

The name of the song is "To Tzini" (which means "the dschinn") and the name of the singer is Christos Pazis.

[Hounoki]

I don't think this is near as impressive as the more serpentine and dramatic forms of bellydance, but it's really fun and cute. =)

[chryssanthi]

It is indeed not the most dramatic form of belly dance, it is just fun belly dance ;-) But if you want to see me performing the "real stuff", just watch my Raqs Sharqi and Baladi videos. Or the Greek-Turkish Tsifteteli with zills. You can find them all at my youtube account.

[oghuzzzzz]

thank you soo much my friend ;)

[chryssanthi]

You are welcome :-)

[meaw69]

WHAT SONG IS THIS !?

[chryssanthi]

The name of the song is "To Tzini" (which means "the dschinn") and the name of the singer is Christos Pazis

[tabbeecat]

nice fusion! :-)

[melmar0576]

OMG, how do you keep your audience from going up to the stage!!! I just felt like getting up and join you on the dance, you transmit such excitement, very nice!!!

[chryssanthi]

Thank you very much:-) If the place I danced wouldn't have been a theater but a restaurant, I surely would have gotten the audience to dance with me ;-) I do this often, when I dance this song, because even people who cannot belly dance can move on it.

[aytackurtuba]

çok ilginç ve bi o kadar da güzel olmuş dans.

modern ve geleneksel dans birarada...

Çiftetelli is partner music Greece & Türkiye.

thanks for share my friend...

kali-merhaba Greece - Türkiye - Arabia

[chryssanthi]

To aytackurtuba: teshekür ederim arkadash :-) (I hope I wrote it right. My Turkish is very poor). I'm happy when people of our East Mediterrenian area see what connects us and not what divides us ;-)

[mparmparos]

nobody can claim this dance as arab-greek belly dance.how could relations be between greeks and arabs?let me explain.when the turks accepted islam,they were affected by arab culture much..so arab dances affected turks.but turks created a culture with islam and arab influences

[chryssanthi]

To mparmparos:I think you misunderstood something. When I'm talking about "Tsifteteli Oriental" as a Greek-Arabian belly dance, I'm not talking about the origin of the traditional Greek Tsifteteli, but only of this specific dance on this video, which is a personal creation of mine, my personal Greek-Arabian fusion. The traditional Tsifteteli is another capital and I have another video with it here.

[halfpintmya]

oh chryssanthi, i loved your performance so much i watced it about 15 times!

when i was finally able to take my eyes off of you i realised the song had a very heavy Caribbean rhythm! Like the soca-dancehall- and then i heard it! in the last 5 seconds there's a sample from a Trinidadian artist! Denise Belfon! i almost fell off my chair. I'm so thrilled that our cultures can mesh like this and facilitate such beautiful dancing! dance on my lady!

[shazadibellydancer]

I LOVE your style, I LOVE the music, your costume! EXCELLENT!! BRAVO!!!

[antiope11]

bravo chryssanthi...mpravo oraia

[Sodnal]

I agree with Matius on the birthday request-I want a Tsifteteli dancer to entertain me on my upcoming 53rd birthday! Don't laugh, Kiddies, you never get too old to enjoy a beautiful dancer!

[SonicBlunt]

katapliktiko! SIXARITIRIA! glukwunsche!

[samirita]

Me gusta la mezcla de la musica y la chica es coordinada

[tankush]

What is the Greek song called? Its pretty good to bellydance.

[chryssanthi]

The name of the song is "To Tzini" (which means "the dschinn") and the name of the singer is Christos Pazis.

[BostonEm]

Tsifteteli - Cifteteli - is a traditional Turkish dance

[chryssanthi]

Originally yes, but it has been brought to Greece at the 20ies of the 20th century through the Greeks of Smyrna (Izmir) who had to leave Smyrna and come to Greece because of the population exchange between Greece and Turkey. But actually both Turks and Greeks got the belly dance from the Arabs.

[mparmparos]

also i see your this comment too.u are right!adios apo smyrni!

[heracles89]

i really like that, i could see it catching on!

[matius53]

I liked it. I want you for my birthday party in august :)

[chryssanthi]

Sure honey, I'll fly directly to you in August*lol* Anyway, thanks for liking my dance :-)

[giannns]

sorry i didnt like it,but maybe its just me lol

[chryssanthi]

No problem:-) You are not obliged to like everything you see, are you? Liking or not is a matter of taste anyway. Since this video is kind of unusual, I can understand, if some people don't like. At least you expressed your disliking in a polite way, opposite to some other people who become quite rude (but have no chance to get their commendaries approved by me). I had a lot of fun dancing that song though ;-)

[2008G]

Chryssanthi, you are so sexy!!!

great coordination, excellent control and very sensual! When will you perform in Greece?

[angelibana26]

hii...im lebanese and my boyfriendd is greek...i really LIKKKE this song...wooow so coooooll!the beat is really nice too....its look a bit like arabic-baladi dance no?

[chryssanthi]

Yes, you are right, it is a bit like modern arabic-baladi dance, because I mixed arabic and greek elements (plus a bit hip hop in this case ;-) ). Since I am also a Raqs Sharqi dancer, I created this greek-arabian mix and I call it Tsifteteli Oriental :-)

[Yadilove]

(this was supposed to be the first message): Chryssanthi is the only Greek bellydancer who is famous on international scale. She is often engaged for workshops and shows in Greece, Canada, Ukraine, Germany and many other European countries. In Germany she is both reference for Arabian Raqs Sharqi, as well as for Greek traditional and of course, Greek Tsifteteli and Tsifteteli Oriental dance.

[Yadilove]

Beside that she has invented a new style, a mixture between Raqs Sharqi and Greek Tsifteteli, called Tsifteteli Oriental. I admire Chryssanthi a lot, both as a high-profile dancer and wonderful pedagogist and teacher.

[deborahmacedo]

Hii ! who is the best reference bellydance in greece !! Is she? thanks

[SumaThugg]

Dude shes awesome! great song, does anyone know the name or singer?

[chryssanthi]

Hi Suma Thugg. Thanks for your nice commentary :-) The name of the song is "To Tzini" (which means "the dschinn") and the name of the singer is Christos Pazis. This song was a big hit in Greece last year.

[SumaThugg]

Ya dude its totally awesome I had the song but then my hard drive crashed. I absolutely LOVE Greek music, its the best. Thanks for the info! :)

[SandraGames]

Suma, can you tell me where you found the song? I can't find it on the web.

[SandraGames]

That was great!! You did an awesome job fusioning hip hop to belly dancing. I'll try to find that song on the internet. I am a belly dancer, but also a hip hop dancer,etc. You seemped to enjoy it. GReat job. Sandra.

[thfasis]

well done tsifteteli is the best greek dance very tempting

[Yadilove]

A great mix between Tsifteteli and Modern Dance. You dance it in a very enthusiastic way. One can see that you really have pleasure dancing. Beside that I like the song very much.

[zack007]

Perfect example of Tsifteteli!!! Im greek and that is exactly the way we dancer with eachother*

[Soraya1980]

shit katalathos ekana rate 2 ala pernis 10!!!!
