I'm a beginner at making my own solos, and now I find I'm not original. *cries*

I still think she's an awesome dancer, and apparantly smarter than me. :'(

@farashahanem She just has more experience. Izzy created this choreography in 2006. Go ahead and do what you want, just be sure that you put your own personal stamp on it, because that's what makes a move original, not the mechanics of the thing. And there is nothing new under the sun . . . ;-)

Thank you for responding a very long time ago. I didn't get a chance to tell you how surprised I was too see your comment. every dance you do is great! Are you American? Where do you perform? Where do you train? Where are you Isadora?

[SimonDraw]

Isidora has her own YouTube channel at izzytejedora. You will find more of her dances there and also a link to her website. There, you can find out all about her.

[SimonDraw]

If you take a few moments to scan through the comments you will find a discussion about the music, where it comes from and how it was put together for this dance.

wow...very powerfull, strong & emotive. I like the blending of many styles, most innovative sword stuff I've seen on here so far!

[FataMorganaBellydnce]

@farashahanem ---The same way opposite sides of the world came up with identical storylines simultaneously, thousands of years before the internet. Two separate dancers can come up with the same idea because the human body only moves a certain number of ways, and there is a limited amount of things you can do with any prop. If everyone tried to only do moves no one had ever done before, we wouldn't get far. Do your dance anyway.

I do not like her dress but the rest is very good. I love she put some modern dance elements inside her choreography....she has good technique.

@SimonDraw Thank you, Simon, I appreciate that. Someone else told me the same thing; it's a relief because I didn't want to be seen as a copycat. :) I'll go ahead and add my own personal spin on the move. And thank you for posting this wonderful vid; Isadora is truely AWESOME! <3<3<3

Oh, sorry about the emo moment! ^^;;;;;
