Tribal Fusion is bellydance. Bellydance is a vast word that discribes many different types and genres of bellydance... until you start asking/talking to people about "what type of bellydance they perform" it is ALL bellydance. Fusion dancers perform & teach the same movements as a Cabaret/Egyptian dancer, they just have different technique. Just because Tribal Bellydance was invented later does not discredit the fact that it is bellydance. People prob. thought the same about Cabaret in the 50's

The problem lies with the fact that most dancers and some teachers are misinformed or uninformed about the different forms, which are considered 'traditional', which are considered 'fusion', which are considered 'folkloric'. All these forms could be put under an umbrella of "Bellydancing". Then confusion ensues. I've been fortunate enough to have teachers who educated themselves, either in the middle east or with a variety of middle eastern teachers and gave us the origins of these dances. :)

You also got to love how at 1:47 they are showing the tribal girls dancing in rewind. It looks so awsome :)

My French is rather rusty. Any one have the time and/or patients to type up a translation?

I may not know much about art, but I know what I like. ;)

Amen. Finally someone with some intelligence.

I said if they like tribal fusion, simply call it what it is.

It's like calling break dancing ballet cuz the guy goes on his toes occassionaly. then these kids think cuz someone called it one thing that that's what it is.

I like the Egyptian cabaret traditional belly dancing as well.

*sigh* this mtv generation [lol i'm all of 29 and talking like i'm old]

You are correct, Tribal fusion began in the United States. People in the middle east would not recognize it as traditional belly dance.

It is different, and done well, enjoyable to watch.

I tend towards Egyptian cabaret style of the 1940's and 1950's. There are some wonderful movie clips on Youtube here somewhere!

I did not dismiss all women in between.

I said that in order to show anyone that is ignorant enough to put down one body type simply bcz they prefer another body type how it is a matter of opinion... and obviously your opinion is riddled with insecurity if you're mad about thin women "taking over".
