I love watching professionals and learning from them.:think: I have 2 favorites for two COMPLETELY different reasons.
Alla Kushnir: Her style is more cabaret, and her costumes are GORGEOUS!!!:clap: I love watching her because she isn't afraid to go big with her performance. I first saw her perform on Ukraine's Got Talent, but she has videos all over the place now. She makes it sexy but keeps it classy. I draw the rapid movements as inspiration for a lot of my routines.
Irina Akulenko: I've mostly seen her perform tribal fusion and fantasy. I started off just watching her tutorials on youtube (very helpful) but then I saw her dances and I was mesmerized. A lot of fantasy belly dance performers sort of forget that it's supposed to be a belly dance, and it becomes more contemporary. However, Irina Akulenko managed to tell a beautiful story in her performance and kept the belly dance style completely intact.
Watch these beautiful ladies on youtube! I think you'll all like them. But first!!! Who are your favorite belly dancers?
