First is still a mystery from a video Sharon Kihara danced to it in...second is Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters, third (strings) and fourth (bells, rough beats) also no idea, but the last is an unreleased Beats Antique song.

Zoe is truly an inspiration to watch. I always assumed bellydancing was out of my league (the lack of actual bellydance schools close by didn't help), but with youtube's help I've begun to pick it up piece by piece. If I ever reach half of Zoe's skill level it'll be considered an accomplishment. She's a joy to watch and definitely my favorite dancer of all time, other bellydancers could pick up a thing or two from her creativity. And she always looks so happy to dance!

@principessachuck I am a bellydance teacher as well. I do not agree with learning someones entire choreography, but watching and picking up technique is absolutely fine!

[principessachuck]

@xxbrittanixx As a bellydance teacher myself I just have to say I'd feel robbed if someone learned one of my choreographies without giving me any kind of credit or benefit,its like piracy,like making a copy of a movie from a dvd, of course it all boils down to what you want to do with the "learning", if you just do it for fun then its pretty much your problem.Im just saying:Think about what you do or dont do for these artists whose work is displayed on YT ,they've worked so hard!

@principessachuck

Not everyone lives near a bellydancing community or can afford to buy lots of instructional DVDs. I don't think one should limit themselves based on their circumstances. I say learn anyway that you can. Of course you have to develop your own style along the way.

she is amazing.

[PastryMagician420]

@principessachuck I wouldn't say it's unethical at all. Some people don't have the money for classes or dvd's. You can learn a lot from watching videos on youtube. If you watch enough and learn the moves, you'll eventually have enough stored in your memory to begin creating your own style. I know this because this is mostly the way I learned. Learning is learning even if it is from the internet. It doesn't hurt to have someone correcting your mistakes though.

does someone know what s the name of the first song?

[flowerofthelily]

This woman thrills me so...

@ZeRo10487

The 4th song is actually "Immature" by Bjork (Ghost in the Shell Remix) until 5:13. That part (if you listen to the song) isn't for like, 2 1/2 minutes into the song.

The last song has been released (thank GOODNESS!!) It's Spiderbite by Beats Antique.

@principessachuck While learning through YouTube can lead to copying, I really feel that this is not always the case. I would compare it to learning some choreography in a workshop or from a DVD and practicing it until it becomes second nature, so you can then incorporate the new moves-combinations you've learned into your own repertoire seamlessly.

As long as you're not copying someone's choreography I say go for it!
