Maybe the context got lost because it's an assembly of clips? Maybe there are references to local things, things happening in the country or local belly dance community?

Oh, that does make sense that this is what they intended because it is playful. For me it's still incoherent, but perhaps it is indeed my lack of Gallic background.
...As for the Occupy Portland thing...
Crunchy pretentious hipsters with absolutely no rhythm trying to make an overworked political statement to a Cake song. Who'd have ever thought that wouldn't be great dance art?
I'm not going to be able to get that out of my brain for a while.
Also, isn't it a golden calf, not a fully, uh, fledged bull? Ed: according to the YT comments, it's a mockup of the Wall Street bull.
I agree it would have been improved had there been some smiting.

The one of the couple is one of those videos that makes me think "Just admit you want to watch porn...don't pretend you're watching dancing"...especially when she's sticking her bare butt up in the air and he's placing a sword on it. That's not dancing, that's showing your butt.
I don't want to post names...but there is an amateur "belly dancer" on You Tube that drives me nuts. She can belly dance...I recognize the isolations and can see her doing combinations. But every video I tried to watch of hers...she is either in some lingerie bra, or she's topless or lifting up a top to flash lingerie at the camera.
I don't mean to sound prudish...if you are of age according to the laws of your country...and there are controls to make sure your audience is consenting adults..and you want to do online strip shows...go right ahead. Strip on a web site, strip in a bar...your choice to make.
I'm just saying...if you're going to do that...admit what you're doing...call it a "strip show"...you're not belly dancing if your focus is on making sure everybody sees your body parts...you're stripping.

I need a glitter cape to wear when I throw glitter on men randomly laying on floors. Bizarre all around: concept, music, costume, movement, props, just everything. And the spiritual contortionist belly dance concept... Why would anyone think these things are a good idea to actually do in public? Just too strange for me.

Take solace in the fact that not a single thing about the movie can be taken seriously, ergo no one should consider this actual "belly dance."

I hope not, but it did come up disturbingly early in search for "belly dance" on YouTube.
