Taletha - American Bellydancer

[ladydrakos62]

this video has been a long time favorite of mine i wish she had posted the entire performance she's very good at hitting the accents also something alot of people can't do! I wish you who didn't like it would just go watch something else, a constructrive critique is always welcome but you're rude comments are unprofessional and immature.

[thekatrid]

Wow! She's good!!!

When will YouTube drama get old??? SHEESH, people. Okay, if you don't like the vid, go watch one that you DO like and stop being rude to people who enjoy the videos you hate. And if you're going to take the time to write a comment, TALK LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. EBONICS DOESN'T COUNT AS A SPOKEN LANGUAGE.

[palestinianjj]

she was good but my mom had a better belly dancer then her but i really enjoyed watching this =]

[justrelax21]

SHES GOOD.... GREAT CHOICE!

[justrelax21]

SHES GOOD..

[nitsunekeko]

okay does it really matter? Why dont you just enjoy the video? adilarslan, you are an idiot and dont know what the fuck your talking about, the person was trying to inform us okay? why dont you appreciate the dancing and not the dancers looks?

[JustMissJac]

Cool!

[sheenaisapunkrocker6]

Actually belly dancing in Egypt has nothing to do with SKINNY girls, it celebrates a womans curves, the womb, giving life through women, etc. Nowhere does it say a belly dancer has to be skinny.

[temptingsylph]

Hey Shakira makes the best belly dancer!

[mangulina]

i dont think so shakira does only one same step she never turn her hole stomach and role it all over there are so many more better belly dancers than shakira

[ifreakchick]

You have no idea what you're talking about! Clearly you haven't seen one of her concerts on tape. Just find Shakira ilve and Off the Record, and play Ojos Asi, and you will be proven wrong!

[Lylah222]

It is definately the Egyptian style (not turkish!!!)

She 's american??? Why does she not dance 'country ' music instead of arabic dance ?? ;)))

[mmttgg]

Guys watch Yousra Hanem she is also the best. Trust me on the that.

[mmttgg]

Yes this music is 100% Egyption no body can argue that. It has nothing to do with Turkish music.

[nliedel]

Nice Egyption dance. Very good!

[shao10]

skinny girls belly dancin is gross... u never know that bones might pop out! lol

[nightskyfading]

what about didem? she's skinny and she's an amazing belly dancer!

[greenfairy404]

she's great! the woman has no bones,... shes made of rubber lol

[nck08]

Most American Bellydancers are fat if you didn't notice.Oh! you didn't

[xfallingpetalsx]

brilliant dancing <33

[missarabia]

brilliant dancer but her tattoos are so unattractive and butch!

[foxmyzt]

Not enough movement. Not enough color in the costume. Music is mediocre.

[neverdealagain]

this is a graceful art... and rabea11 you dont need to post hateful comments.if you dont like it then just exit out of it and dont ruin the mood for others.This is very good

[esmeraldaq]

em.. boring

[jocyazevedo]

gyghghg

[MoogleQueen5]

I have this song! I practice to it! But i don't know what style this is? It can't be Egyptian, so i was wondering.

[missarabia]

it is a famous egyption trak

[pneyhard]

i started belly dancing classes a few months ago...wish that i had done so YEARS ago...i think that taletha and her dancing are beautiful...thanks for the inspiration!

[rindysheydy]

irishgt----are u sure u lived in Turkiye?? if so,how come u say ''they have few dance style'' lol thats funny...havent u ever seen even horon?kasap?halay? zeybek? oryantal?(bellydance)?chiftete­lli? i guess u didnt go out once when u were here lol

[deathorders]

She only has the Belly and nothing more. First of all there is no real belly dancin being displayed here, and she needs better and faster tune.

[nliedel]

She's not doing Turkish Belly Dancing. She's dancing in the Egyption style and doing a fine job of it. The music is well known in Egypt. You don't know what you're talking about.

[bloodzshizzle06]

to be honest she cant dance kidding

[brighteyeskid]

i dont think she is too big, or too squishy, or whatever. shes absolutely lovely. finally, a bellydance that has an ass, && a belly, like they should. =p

rock on hun, you're AMAZING!

[Binicula]

can we get over the weight? she's not huge here, she's doing the dance beautifully, which means she's a good weight. If she was too big or too skinnny, it wouldn't look as good

[nristovski]

I think this dance is beautiful. She can isolate all of the different parts of her upper body so well and her arms are so graceful.

[Sumiko7493]

Meh sorry... >.> im no skinny girl myself..

[lordcambridge]

How beautiful!

Her moves are so smooth and sensual. They flow together so well its hypnotizing. She reminds me of a snake actually. So beautiful.

Much better than the skinny girls. The only youtube vids i can find f skinny girls belly dancing just involves a lot of jerky gyrating. =/ Not sexy.

[sunagirlie]

who gives a fuck if she's not skinny. she's talented and beautiful to me. people who think skeletons are sexy need to get some help.

[UniqueTush]

can some1 tell me were belly dancing actually orginated from ive done research but still dnt know

[Sumiko7493]

She's a little chunky, no? Needs ta work out more ^_^

[justine238]

baila bien, pero deberia adelgazar para que se pudieran percibir mejor los movimientos, y gracias a que lleva la falda, no se nota lo paticorta que es, pero tecnica tiene de eso no hay duda

[LyndaHudson]

I want to learn belly dancing.

[ancientgirl]

Very nice.  I like seeing dancers who aren't stick thin. She's very good.

[gingerlily02]

I agree with you. I feel like there are pressures from people to be so skinny. In the past belly dancers had bellies....hence belly dancing.

[firegoat]

euh... dont think so

[SuperGamer7]

So exotic!

[amiralatifa]

You Rock!!!!

[bztheman]

hawt dayum, how does she move like that? so many movements parts at once :|

[LyndaHudson]

Practice,practice,practice.

[tinysiren]

Hi,

Ruth

[cliodhna13]

This is Beautiful.

Thank You for posting it!

[Eansr]

you dance really GOOD!!!

[Claudinini]

I love belly soup.

[DaniBellydancer]

Whoo-hoo! Tattoos on a cabaret dancer. :)~ You're wonderful.

[Shahdin]

You are a very talented dancer keep up the awesome work

[Pixiette]

One of the best I've seen, GORGEOUS! Much better than the skinnier, hyper girls with a big fake smile whose movements don't flatter their body shape and demonstrate REAL skill. This woman has skill. I choose her to be my teacher! haha.

[TheABsiNtHeFaiRy]

now thats what i call classical old school bellydancing you go girl! the best kind!

[glykiasandra]

At least a REAL belly dancer with the perfect body for this art.

Thanks a lot for posting this video.

[Rinoaeris]

Great dancer! hate the top and the tatoos though

[arabiyya]

if anyone here lives around montreal, qc canada let me know i can teach you how to do that and better!

[matahari08]

amazing. can some1tell me what music is this? Whould like to find it.

[hell574]

[TuLaSi4591]

[musicmancbj]

I love bellydancing

[princeersin]

ALLAHHH

[xxallursxxmissy]

ur really good i wanna learn but i dont no were i dont want to take lessons i want to learn them in my own home anybody got ideas

[juliarochagmailfr]

very beautiful dance ,like so much the music.

[kimyijun]

I like these elegent movements.

[bellydansa]

her arms are so fluid...really really beautiful xxx

[liquidguy82]

Taletha, have you tried to dance to Ali Mrateh Fadh "songs of the middle east"? The link below has a sample, but i could upload it. The Ney (Nay), or flute play is sick, and i'mnot even middle eastern :D

[Taletha]

You're right it's some good music! I'll look into it some more. Thanks for the suggestion. =)

[Binicula]

Very nice, totally with the music...but that top is hiding all those great movements your doing. I don't like them with so much frill.

[kaoruneko16]

but it adds to the visual FX though....

[yadikay]

The top is hiding her belly and the movement is in the hips. she has a great rib isolation and she got some arabic clap's while she wasnt shimmying wich is awesome :) great technique.

[Alluringshadows]

Wonderful dancing with perfect and precise movements! Lovely, quite a pleasure.

[REDROSEPEDAL]

she is very hot and has her own syle. the music is soothing to the soul.

[robertbheil]

very beautiful movements and music.

[mustafapasha]

Now, this is some nice belly dancing, very smooth, breathtaking and entertaining.

[budgiebudgielover]

WOW! That was so good! I wanna learn belly dancing, I should take out some tapes from the library sometime, too.

[sddsddsdd]

I think you are a very good dancer. I also am over 40 and I believe the over 40 dancers are the best. good music also.

[zafaran]

Beautiful movements - very graceful. But are those tatoos on her back??!

[twiztedjoys]

Why would it matter if they were tattoos?

[rubylotus]

traditional muslim audiences are less inclined to watch a bellydancer because tattoos are considered "mutilation of the body".

[firegoat]

euh...they are watching bellydancing...i dont think they will care about that

[sophisticated270]

no it's henna

[Taletha]

No, they're tattoos. =0D

[sophisticated270]

oh wow really? cool!

[Taletha]

I've also performed for many different audiences without a problem: Indian, Arab, American, old people, young people, rich people, poor people, tattooed, non-tattooed...

Thank you everyone for the kind words, even the ones who think I am too squishy. =)

[LyndaHudson]

They're brainwashed.You have a curvy,sexy,beautiful woman's body.a woman is supposed to have a bust and hips,it's only idiot fashion drones and Hollywood casting agents who say only size 4 or under is sexy.SCREW'EM!

[whysp80]

Incredible isolations and fluid motions/transitions from one move to the next. And you gotta love Hassam! ;)

[soyluv]

very nice. I did a belly dance class-and u're moves are excellent. I want to learn more.

[kiki353]

if i would have to choose who is the best belly dancer on this side.. i would take her .. she knows how to move her hips .. ! v

[nightcreaper]

whats the name of the song?

[sophisticated270]

Afrah baladi, Mostafa Sax

[asliii]

there are o alot of thıs musıc www.bearshare.com you wrıte delly dance...you see alot of thıs musıc and songs...thıs musız from hossam ramzy

[yangmay]

Why don't I comment?

[Kirabellydancer]

Because I have changed my comments to where I must approve them first due to some of the comments I have received.

[yangmay]

I love it.It's perfect,isn't?

[isha4u]

very beautiful dancing she has great skill at isolating the different portions of her body. And the music is awsome.

[kiki01]

great dancer..hate her tattoos...all over the place....

[rylraven13]

pretty good, nice body for belly dancing too, I just wish I could have seen a little more hip work

[lusciousbelly]

I like this bellydancer, however she needs to add more expression and maybe a smile? :) Great job though

[ukrainianbanana]

She's an amazing dancer. I have only one grievance and that is the fact that she needs a new top. It's one thing to be seductive and graceful (which she is) but it's another to have your boobs popping out of your top. Her style is beautiful but the top needs to be adjusted.

[Taletha]

LOL. Actually the top of the bra is blending in with my skin tone due to poor video quality. You can see that it covers a bit better than it appears at http://taletha.com/images/UofL­.jpg .

Music is Mustafa Sax from his album Hayati. The song is called Afrah Baladi.

[wmisswscarewall]

the music fits really well with the belly dancing, do you know who does the music?

[wmisswscarewall]

where can i download this music/who does the music? it's so good! it fits the belly dancing real well.

[Adishakti]

Is that Taletha? Awesome!

[nyckelpiga]

A terrific dancer. Even though I was distracted by her tattoos.

[nadine07]

Beautiful!
