Dear Camera Man,

She's very pretty, but if I can't see her hips, this video is useless.

I was reading the comments and i read people say they have to get skinny for this. This women is one of the skinnier belly dancers but most weigh between 140-165. Belly dancing was and art for women with curves, Im at the weight of 145 and i belly dance and i seem to tiny for it. Look up real belly dancers and you'll see the dance get more beautiful with more weight added.

@JoniDeNerd Personally I find it much more insulting to assume a culture is too primitive to evolve beyond outdated and discriminatory traditions.

The girl on the Tabla is great! Where did you find her? This actually came up when I was looking for tabla tips not bellydancing. Well done to her also for ignoring outdated traditions and doing something she is obviously very good at by playing both instruments.... at once.
