Erotic is not my word choice, its in the description of the video.

THere isn't much I like about the video so I don't have much to say about it. Although I thought he body painting of snake skin on kaya and sadie was a neat concept if it had of been used in a more artistic performance setting. But that is just my opinion.
I'm sharing this because there is so much talk of fusion on this forum and whether or not it is good or bad for belly dance, is it belly dance etc etc
Videos like the above to me show that it doesn't have to be fusion to stray far from the original source and isn't this more detrimental to Middle Eastern dance than labelling a dance fusion which blends styles. Sadie is a exceptionally talented woman and ridiculously well known in the belly dance community. I was suprised to see her in such a video to be honest.
As a university student I def need money but I have turned down music video opportunities because I want to be known as a dancer, not a lingerie clad girl crawling all over some singer along with other women. I hope Sadie didn't do this because she needed money...
On the flip side maybe she genuinely enjoys it and is comfortable with her sexuality and this is her thing, which I can't hold against her. To each their own.
For some reason seeing Kaya in such a video and carrying on as such didn't surprise me at all, most likely because of the facial expressions she makes while performing "belly dance" normally.
