Styles of Bellydance Defined

Sep 6, 2008 - Wow. When I heard the last part from Morocco, I wanted to say amen. Honestly, I'm one for keeping culture, not keeping people out of it, but preserving the culture. From what I've read up on, bellydance was a folk dance from Africa, Middle East and some parts of India. It's apart of their culture, it's theirs. They should have the right to do whatever they want to do with it because it is theirs, it's a part of their culture. I don't hate tribal,it just seems like all it's about is glamour.

Sep 22, 2008 - yes I agree , However I think Tribal is nice because its a newer style of belly dance and it's differnt. It's nice to see a wide mix of bellydance.

Sep 25, 2008 - No it's not Arabic it's Egyptian and always has been but from that it's also a part of middle eastern and some parts of India. Not America ever time America takes people's culture it turns to hell and... they don't do it right and they think they can tell everybody about an they don't even know. P.S i love the Indian styli

Oct 21, 2008 - that's not related in any way. and I can do tht quite happily here too

frozen10 Says:

Oct 24, 2008 - The point I think is trying to be made is that it's a traditional dance that is a part of the culture and that people should respect that. The are a lot of countries who want people to respect their culture,including dances. So it would help if people learned which countries the dance came from and if they respected the countries.

frozen10 Says:

Oct 24, 2008 - Just as long as people respect the culture and understand where it came from. I still prefer traditional but tribal is okay.

vermillion303 Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - I don't think anyone was talking bad about America here. I am English and I do worry that America has had too much of an influence on bellydance worldwide.

Nov 24, 2008 - Is this a documentary? Or an interview. I would love to see this in it's entirety.

Nov 26, 2008 - "Oumi Oumi Hizzy" by Emad Sayyah.

MirahAmmal Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - I think the point they were making referred to the belly dance *costumes* which were at one point influenced by Western cinema (though admitedly that distinction does not come across as clearly in this clip.) Also, belly dance is a living, changing art. As a performance art (as opposed to private folk dancing around) it has certainly has both influenced and been influenced by Western dance. Ex: Samia Gamal (ballet training); compare modern dancers like Randa & Dina with, say, Naima Akef.
