I've heard that American Tribal style is more snakey and flowy, Egyptian/Oriental/Raqs Sharqi uses more precise movements, with the hips always under the rib cage, and that Cabaret style has more of a flemenco form.
How true are these?
Also, what are some movement differences between the styles?
I've done some belly dance choreographing, but I'm not sure what style it is because I can't find the movement differences anywhere. I'm basically just doing whatever moves make me happy, which is what contemporary ballet teaches you to do, but I realize that many dance styles are more disciplined than that.
Right now the only differences I know are between the music styles, clothing styles, and histories. I just need to know the overall dance differences, even if you can only tell me about your individual style. Please and thank you!
