This is another performance to, "Gutter Glitter," by Switchblade Symphony.
The video is clearer and I'm much happier with this performance. =0D

To Taletha: BEAUTIFUL dancing! To the weeabos int he front row: CAT EARS??? WTF??

[Taletha]

Actually, this was a Halloween event, so that's what the cat ears are about. =o)

Bellydance is not about rage...

When are people going to learn that???

[isisrosalinde]

I think you are mistaking punk for goth. The punk movement was more filled with rage, while the goth movement was almost the antithesis to punk.

Gothic bellydance can be taught, and can be many things, like sexy, sultry, dark, or melancholic. It just takes getting in touch with and expressing the shadow side of us, which everyone has. That is why it can be taught to those who seek to learn.

I think this video was very well done, and I enjoyed watching it.

@Taletha

You had me worried--for a second!

[xXvampire666Xx]

AWSOME .... ur gd pretty nice performance keep it up

[glamournurse]

You were true to the music but still very interesting to watch. I appreciate that you conducted your floor work with your body facing sideways, it makes it much classier. Thank you for sharing this with us.

One theory was this dates back to Babylon, prior to Islam's arrival and banning of the dance. It migrated and other in Persia, India and the like, poor women learned it to entertain rich men for money. The other theory is that it helps reduce and ease the pain in childbirth.

WOW! that was really gorgeous!

I like that you have expression on your face. I with some dancers who choose a darker side of dance. They seem to have no expression. Which might be the look they are going for.

But I like the moment of a wicked smile or the looking up like you had a evil thought.

i love this, and i would also like to learn gothic bellydance i'm used to the traditional way.

I think that Tempest (one of the foremothers of Gothic Belly Dance) would agree with isisrosalinde in saying that gothic belly dance CAN be taught... and /I/ would say that you, Taletha, have done a fairly good job representing it. Gothic belly dance has many different feelings to it (which people would notice if they actually checked out other videos of people like Tempest...) and, like the goth culture, I think it would be hard to really define it.

like the music....I'm surprised because I do bellydance, I taught myself...and I have my own style and not always I use the traditional music to dance I even use rock or another music to do it....but this is the first time I see another person using diffrent..its cool because is goth and sexy..
