cool never heard of them I like it!
I'm not going to call anyone the bellydance police. I'm actually glad my video came through on the forum last summer as it reminded me the importance of staying culturally appropriate when doing both traditional and fusion, and most importantly that you are not just representing yourself but the dance. It sucked at the time, but it was a good eye opener lol.
I love a GOOD fusion, where you can see the blending of the two styles and costuming, where something new develops and there is a presence of technique of both the styles. Flow from movement to movement as well as overall fluidity are very important to me.
I completely understand the viewpoint of the "bellydance police" since bellydance isn't overly well understood still in many places and is often misrepresented which makes it harder for people to understand it.
I am pretty open minded when it comes to dance and support fusions,but I support them when they are balanced and well done if that makes sense. I'm all for people expressing themself, and for dance evolving. But in order to move forward I think you have to know where to start, if that makes sense.
I went on youtube after watching the original posted clip, becauseI don't trust highly editted clips, makes it hard to see technique and what is really going on.
To me, I was not a fan. Fusion or not fusion, the lack of musicality is what really killed it for me.
This, I believe is true of many of the negative comments made above about the Babybliss Girls. No disrespect to any of you, but shouldn't dancing and belly dancing especially, be about freedom of expression and of femininity and to enhance ourselves as human beings.
