Something about Bhuz gives me the creeps, and they probably wouldn't let non-dancers join anyway, but I still take a look at it once in a blue moon.
HELENA VLAHOS BELLY DANCE PART THREE COIN TRICK - YouTube
I believe the problem arises from the GP's assumption that any belly dancer on the globe should perform this trick. They know absolutely nothing about styles, just as I once knew nothing about them in my pre-Internet days, and it is understandable why Egyptian dancers would be annoyed.
And yet, if you take it only as a trick and not as a prerequisite of the dance, it is beautiful, is it not? A splendid demonstration of MUSCLE CONTROL.
I fully realize that this thread may lead to an argument between Aniseteph and Kashmir, as to which one will tie the rope around my neck and which one will whip the horse from underneath me, but I'm in a self-destructive mood at the moment so it's okay.
