My goodness! Such hateful comments! The hidebound conservatism of much of the bellydance community never ceases to amaze and amuse me. It's like you want every dance to be exactly the same. Is there no room for creativity and originality in your world? Can't you enjoy this piece for what it is, instead of trying to project your insecurities upon it? This is a beautiful, meditative ritual dance (& of course it's bellydance!), and I thank and bless Tempest and Anaar for presenting it.

[AnOddPerson]

It's a performance with a mood and a story, staying in character is perfectly appropriate and enhances the dance. Of course they're going to act as if they're truly performing a ritual, it's a stage presentation, that's one of the main aspects.

I pity you and your closed mind.

Anaar, Tempesta, love it although I don't know the meaning of this ritual I think that I could pick some information on the subconscious level. I'm a draconian priest and some of your movement are very similar to the ascended sacred serpent ritual that we practice. I'm going to learn belly dancing as my last step on our hierarchy. May the cycle of life and death protect you.

Among other things, Anaar actually IS a ritual dancer, as is Tempest. Real dance, real rites, real deal. No prob here!

[LotusDanceStudio]

This is very entrancing, well done and captivating.....I think all the hateful comments are just from the unenlightened and shouldn't be regarded as anything more than ignorance of our genre of dance. It is a ritualistic dance and let its beauty be in the eye of the beholder. I teach dance, I do rituals, and even if just for entertainment...I enjoyed.

wonderful performance - I enjoyed their original interpretation

Since rites in a temple *are* sacred theatre, I think you have a good deal of learning to do before you use words like tribal, temple, and "good" in general relation to dance.

[yacket]

shwoah. they really pulled me in on this dance, the story or ritual or whatever was captivating, i totally wanted to know what was in the bundle. a little heavy on the arm movements but it blew my mind at the end and how it fit into the song. very cool.

[sadetanssija]

Thank you.

[aspelenie]

Anaar is in red, Tempest is in blue.

[sadetanssija]

Stupid question... Which one of the dancers is which?

[eligestewart]

Actually, it probably is a ritual. Anaar is known for her ritual dance. This is actually sacred art, and (while not a druid) Anaar is a holy woman, and last I checked, they both had bodies so I suppose that also makes them incarnate. If you want to see smiling, then pop in a Shirley Temple flick. If you expect to find it in all places you look, then don't bother with looking at art.
