Only comment I have is see if you can get the beautiful movement into your face. You have such energy with your dancing. Show that energy in your face. I'm a cabaret dancer.. So.. I may not be the best voice for this style.

[danigirl00]

It's true, tribal fusion and cab are pretty different, but you are very right, facial expression is pretty important in most dance styles. Thanks for the tip! :)

[OpiumPawala]

This is very good. How long have you been dancing?

[danigirl00]

I've been trying to get the basics down for about two years. I am having to self teach, which is why my style is kind of weird and I still have plenty of trouble executing certain moves. Thanks though, it means a lot! :)

[skepticxjellytot]

I like it :) If you want constructive criticism, I would say that your individual moves are good but the transitions between them are a little stiff, like it's not quite a dance yet. Also occaisionally it looks like you forget your arms (I have the same problem).

I self-teach too so it's helpful to see others trying stuff out and what level they're at.

very lovely, beautiful!

I'm an aspiring tribal gothic cabaret/burlesque style belly dancer and I'm 4'9, too!!! So girl u r NOT ALONE!! We should communicate! You show great muscle isolation control, so I would like 2 ask u how long did u formally train(or if u still do) and where?

[mjandcbreezyfan14]

amazing. go girl.

[Cindayy]

Great job on the self-teaching! Although why don't you take a class? You are very talented and it seems you are dedicated, but I think there are a few simple fixes here and there that I think a good instructor could smooth out for you and make your dances 20x better. BTW I know people are saying smile more.. but imho tribal dances best with that sexy intense seductive expression like rachel brice//zoe jakes xD

[ashleyrox2192]

you are really good!! keep up the excellent dancing!

[autumnwillow7]

I liked it though the transition between movements could be more fluid.  And don't forget to smile!! Keep it up and post more vids as you progress.

@Cecille1980 check out this dancer. she claims she is self-taught too "SleepyDancer".

[Cecille1980]

I am ((new)) at tribal belly dance too. I have been looking at a lot of videos of beginners, like myself. Keep it up. I read your comments and yes, they are in a sense true...but discovering that within takes time. Have patience and keep dancing please.

awesome dance! you make an excellent self teaching teacher! you said in your description that you want to work on you isolations: try practicing chest movements like chest circles and chest figure eights while your sitting down. it will help you separate your chest movements from your hip movements more easily, that way, when your dancing, it might make it a little easier to isolate the movement between your torso and your hips. :)

[EsmereldasGoat]

You are quite excellent.
