Tribal Fest 7 performance -Chinese Fusion Bellydance

[lionjill]

I liked this - especially the last third (seemed like it took awhile to get to this part!) I loved the sleeves.

[oddlittlechild]

Those sleeves are the coolest thing!

Well I guess it's belly dancing... had to wait 5 minutes into it to see the first hint of belly dancing, it was pure Oriental until then. It was like watching two dances, first one oriental, second one belly dance. Even the music switched up 3 times before the dance was done...maybe it was 3 different dances then? *shrug* It was pretty, but not really tribal fusion.

@MyCasualName first off lets look at what oriental means it means original and the term comes from the middle east so i think what you meant was Asian style of dance and tribal fusion means "many things mix in to another" but yes the base of ATS or fusion is bellydance and it did take a while to see it. however i give them props for trying to fuse something different and it was a pretty dance never the less and i for one cant wait to see what will become of it.

I love China, I love bellydance, what;s NOT to love about this video! and the music is amazing!! BRAVO!!

[Juice4Productions]

Very unique! Got to give them credit. The costumes are beautiful, but they look somewhat difficult to move in.

[overlycreative]

I subscribed to Kiki Kuan a long time ago and the exhibition of her and the others are very entertaining as well as captivating. Enjoy her work by searching for her.

[isisrosalinde]

[ReneePont]

I am trying to locate a video of Daughters of Durga that performed immediately after this troupe. Did you by any chance videotape the next performance? If so, could you please post it here? Thank you.

[juohantong]

sorry, i don't have that one.

[peanutsmum]

It's gorgeous. I love the mix without losing a traditional feel to it. The costumes are beautiful!

[jaywizardess]

actually in chinese traditional dance the long sleeves are meant to cover the woman. its a thing where the japanese and the chinese think that a "covered" woman is very sexy and eroitic, and to show off skin is... more fitting to that of a prostitute.

[NelumOnelius]

this is fusion....so cool.

[IshtarBellydancer]

very elegant !

[thehippychick]

Absoloutely mesmerizing, beautiful!!

[arabiancat]

very elegant.... like flowers in the breeze.

although i didn't much care for the second part of the music.

[Alluringshadows]

This is so gorgeous!! I wish I could have seen this live! I love the costumes and how the moves are so precise. A beautiful blending of traditional dance and tribal moves. Lovely lovely!!

What was the last song? I swear I recognize the melody..

[XianHaos]

well, if you've ever seen a particular video by Edward Yao *another bellydancer/chinese traditional dancer* he uses the same song. :)

[riamaria]

Kiki, this is so beautiful! I wish i could have seen it live... you so make me cry!

[Noiseman433]

[bunnydevil]

[3rifily]

[Mohabbatein22]

[staticheart]

[crazytribaldancer]

Very pretty and elegant...the costuming is stunning. It isn't something I would have thought to see with fusion but I like it!! You can tell these girls worked hard.
