MK, yeah I have danced it for more than 15 minutes... I have studied many many forms of dance. If I thought a career dancing bharatanatyam was going to pay the bills, you might have found me scholarship-bound to India after the AP exams... alas, we can only live so many incarnations of ourselves. I was serious about the Flamenco, someday when I get old and crazy maybe I will ditch my belongings and take to the streets with an open trunk and gray haired partner and a pair of castanets. heehee. So, entitled as I am to my opinion, and after studying and having personal experience in these things, I still find BD vulgar. I prefer there to be a storyline, movement that signifies something that the educated audience understands, and an intricate relationship with the music, at the very least. Then, disciplined study of the form makes its performer as a professional athlete, every muscle's move, every shift of the eye working in perfect collaboration with the whole. Have fun bellydancing, I would rather just order a pole. lol.

Fair enough. On my side of the tracks, I have always found no much difference between watching a Flamenco dancer performing and observing someone going through a tonic-clonic seizure. Totally robotic and often annoying. Let alone tap dance (unless done by Mr. Bojangles and the genius likes) .
Let the women celebrate their bodies for God's sake!

quote:Originally posted by MK the Most Interlectual: I mean QB, although the origins of the modern Belly Dance are not known for certain, there's strong evidence that it originates from the old religion called Mother Goddess Religion. In which the belly of the woman is the center of life. The rituals of that religion included doing dances for the Mother Goddess (Osiris), and it was meant to be done with bare feet to get direct energy from mother earth. Maybe the costumes have to with the ancient Egyptian attire, but I'm not sure.
Have you ever belly-danced intensively for 15 minutes or more?
To be a skilled belly-dancer is an extreme workout for the trunk muscles, let alone the arms and legs. Yes of course many commercial belly-dancers are vulgar and give a bad name to it, but it's an art- whether you like it or not- and as Kara said, we can't argue about personal taste.
I have two Dutch friends who took ballet as children and now belly-dance and they tell me it's a different kind of workout that they love to combine with ballet.
When a woman belly-dances, she makes a statement of being proud of her femininity and being in total harmony with her body.
Of course it doesn't have to be done in front of a bunch of horny men. In my opinion, it's best done when nobody is watching.

I like flamenco,too,and whenever i'm in Spain i care and go to watch good flamenco dancers,specially in Granada(south of Spain)but no dance has caught my interest to the extent of studyng it and try to learn it as bellydance.And as MK says,you can do it for yourself or close friends only.Drooling pervs don't need to watch.

Mexican hat dance: done around a mexican hat (sombrero) barn dance: dance in barn ballroom dance: done in ballroom bunny hop: you hop like a bunny interpretive: one's interpretation of a dance

I have a confession to make. I love belly dancing as a manifestation of femininity and sex appeal - but - in front of my husband only (OK, did that also at his b-day party in front of his family but I was fully dressed and they fell on the floor dying with laughter). Sadly, when I do try this hot and bothersome dance in front of my husband instead of getting hot and bothered he asks me what kind of stomach ache I have today. However, I will take those belly dancing classes and then watch out y'all! Posts: 2238 | From: Mother Earth | Registered: Jun 2004

It's indeed a talent and not for everyone. for example Samia Gamal performance was so capitative but watching some European gurl belly dancing gives me testicles ache

kathak thats MI GENTES dance. very innocent indeed.
i love flamenco too, i would kill to learn how to flamenco. i went to spain when i was 16, and i was amazed at the shows we went and saw. i begged my parents to buy me one of the dresses, but they werent too keen on dropping 800 bucks for something i couldnt actually use too often.
and didnt flamenco develop from belly dancing? they just decided to wear some more clothing? i thought it developed when spain was andalusia... even those little clapper things are the same. (well the belly dancing ones are metal, and the flamenco ones are... wood? maybe.)

Hibbah Andalusia is just part of Spain.Spain is the country.Andalusia is the Southern part of Spain that had 800 years of Moorish ocupation.This way they got to have the Moorish-Arabic roots that now prevail,Granada being the most influenced by this ocupation. Have to say that the inhabitants of Spain during those years got to believe that Spain consisted only of Andalusia.

I think she has the technique, but she lacks sensuality. After all, belly dance is about being sensual to attract the opposite sex. This girl, though, is quite pretty and I like her hair Posts: 327 | From: balad alnour | Registered: Sep 2004

LOL, 99% OF THEM HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT SENSUALITY
IT IS PURE BUSINESS, THEY ARE WITH ANY MUSIC THEY ARE USUALLY COUNTING THE STEPS AND THE WIGGLES AND MULIPLYING THEM BY THE SQUARE AREA OF SKIN THEY SHOW TO GET TO THE TOTAL SUM OF PAYMENT THEY DESERVE AND THEN COMPARE IT TO WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO GET WHICH IS PRESET AND CALCULATE THE LOSS AND THE PROPHIT BALANCES,
THAT IS BELLY DANCING IN MIDDLE EAST LOL LOL LOL

A physical point. (I have done ballet all my life and I started recently bellydancing)
Ballet is quite formal kind of dance. You have to keep "the centre of your body" as a compact package, there is not so much space for expressing feelings.
Movements are traditional and if you perform for example a part of a Swanlake, you do same things whether you are a member of a Bolshoi theatre in Russia or theatre in Japan.
Ballet is extremely demanding to your body even in harmful way. Have ever seen dancers legs??!
Bellydancing is more soft and has many necessary movements to humans body. For example all the rotations are so important to back, when ballet dancers do overstretches and it can harm your body.
I would say BD is more healthy if comparing professionals. In trainerlevel both have advantages, which I gladly take:)
Btw, making something look naughly or slutty is not depending the dance itself. As a dancer you express yourself. Well, if you are slutty, dance may also seem sluttykind;)))

I do ok. I'm certainly not up for a competition, but hey.......when a woman feels beautiful while doing it for her man......and he loves her......then mission accomplished....right?
He thinks she's beautiful and sexy. She does too.
Now for public belly dancing. Ok....I agree with all the posts. It's a business, it can be artistic, it can be lovely, and it can be slutty. It's in the dancer, atmosphere, et.
But tell me.....how many men wouldn't love their woman to dance for them? Arabian or otherwise.
