Hi all,
This question stems from an incident I had at a party. Since I am not very knowledgeable about the difference between the styles of Egyptian, Lebanese and Turkish, I wanted to put this question out there.
Well at this party i was doing some Bellydance moves on the dance floor when the mother of one of the girls in the crowd was asking me how to do some of the Bellydance moves that I was doing. When I started doing hip bumps this ladies daughter burst out: "No that's Lebanese!".
Now she did do some bellydancing but stopped because it is not for her but her outburst surprised me and I am not sure why she said that and what she meant, because even if it was Lebanese it is still bellydancing..Isn't it?
And are hip bumps mainly Egyptian or is it found in all the styles but in different variations, such as arms/legs are in different positions when executing the move?
I did not reply to her outburst, just gave her a confused look and carried on dancing but I would like to have been in position to correct her.
I would love to hear your input in this.
