Zoe Jakes Belly Dancing to "Revival" from Beats Antique 2010

[BlazingRollers]

Beat Antiques played in my area and I missed their performance! Great that I can watch some of their performances here.

[bellydansoh]

you may not be able to see all of zoes body while she dances but i quite like the closeness of it all, it adds to the atmosphere

[randomguda]

This epicness is the reason I take belly dance

[infobasedchoices]

[goldenmonkey247]

Great Video :)

[shirocaine]

zoe, great! filmer: great! yes, with this lense....footwork is difficult. but the quality is just amazing! and u have a very good feeling for the dancer!! just go film her face again with same dance and next time fullbody, then put the three together. i know, such a lot of work - but its worth it!

[MsSerotoninRush]

man i seriously want to learn to do all this

[yonderboogey]

regeneration! bring me backkk

[crystabellbloodroze]

Getting this close is awesome! You get to see whats going on with every muscle! Great for other dancers and instructors to study! Thank you for this!

[caroman28]

[meaganhesham]

beautiful!

[psychobunny32]

i think it's great that she allows pics and videos to be posted. I look forward to seeing a live performance

[AliCatG]

Great filming!

[pseedie]

ok her "pants" are lower than lux interior's of the Cramps....and I didn't think that was possible!!! [=

[Alluringshadows]

Thank you for the video! I really love the quality!

[jillowrie]

Beautiful video but if you are going film a dancer, please show all of her not just upper body. A dancer uses her whole body and her footwork is part of the dance.

[JPHalgren]

@jillowrie Thanks for the compliment. I was not able to get Zoe's full body in frame because of the lens I happened to have on my camera when she started dancing. Generally, I shoot still images. I had a 70-200mm zoom lens on my camera when I arrived at this stage. Since I was trapped in the photo pit, I could not physically back up - and since I had a telephoto lens equipped, I could not zoom out any more than what you see in the video. There are 2 other videos where you can see her footwork.

[mokonekochans]

@jillowrie Seriously? Your going to fuss over that? its obvious that this was shot close to the stage an the whole thing woudln't fit in the view. Sooo... either you get 4 minutes of footwork, or head to hips. Take your pick.

[molarmama5]

@mokonekochans The entire dance is the usual meh. Boring.

[goldenmonkey247]

@molarmama5 Do better and post it.

[molarmama5]

@goldenmonkey247

I could have, would have. I danced with Ms. Nagwa Fouad, Cairo Marriot 1987.

I am typing this as I am sitting in a wheel chair!

@goldenmonkey247

Add a Post Script:...I was speaking to mokonekochans; as I remember, not directly you.

[goldenmonkey247]

@molarmama5 Your comment is public. If it was direct send a message. And the fact you have danced with legends makes no difference. Were you that good that anybody filmed you? If so post it. Simples. You weren't in a wheel chair then.

[molarmama5]

@goldenmonkey247 Have you danced with legends? I have seen your work, quite worthless.

This is quite public.

You are a cruel, heartless bitch! Do not spit in the wind!

[goldenmonkey247]

@molarmama5 I never said I was anyone in bellydance, or great at it for that matter. I just try. I don't put anyone else down or call names, just stated facts. You should watch who you are calling a dog. Karma seems to have bitten you and will again for being like that. Your problem, not mine.

[molarmama5]

@goldenmonkey247 I never called anyone a dog! Do not give me your Karma nonsense.

If you knew anything about anything; you can not film in Egyptian Nightclubs, take pictures or audio record, as it is totally forbidden!

Your remark was beyond cruel; and I suggest that you watch your own Karma.

It is my right to freedom of speech, to give my opinion, on someone's "thing"--yeah, dance. This is the USA. Remember?As you will no doubt try a feeble reply, Zoe is not G-D, IMO. Let it go and growup.

[benjaminpwallen]

well done! Man she is so pretty.

[Mithrylle]

Zoe Jakes a synonym for perfection!

[princessofthehorses]

awesome image quality, just beautiful.

[kristakubie]

@JPHalgren--thanks so much for this great video!

I am a huge Beats Antique/ Zoe Jakes fan that can only afford to see them after the fact on YouTube...

fan footage os okay, but it usually looks high-quality bootleg at best.

I'm glad you and your camera attended, and in turn my addiction is fed with quality work! :)

[AnastaciyaSh]

@JPHalgren The track is Revival from the 2010 album Blind Threshold

[AnastaciyaSh]

Tell, please, what song is it?!

[akAsha6E6D]

WHATS THE TRACK??? CANT PUT MY FINGER ON IT!?

[AnastaciyaSh]

[ShaktiMama1]

[Musidorida]

Awesome, as always ^^.

[dreadeddancer]

nice! what kind of camera did you use great quality and of course amazing dancer and musicians!!

[JPHalgren]

@dreadeddancer:

Hello~

I used my Canon 5DMK2 DSLR to shoot his video, and I believe I had a 70-200 f/2.8 L II Lens. I remember not being able to zoom back any additional amount!

[molarmama5]

@JPHalgren A real pro should be prepared for anything! I bet you will hate my comment for telling the truth!

[JPHalgren]

@molarmama5 I'm a professional photographer. I am not a professional videographer. Go check out my website at JustinHalgrendotcom and you can bash my professional work there if you like...

[GILIGILI9]

wonderful!
