See, this dancer is a good dancer (if she dropped the mask and music choice maybe) but I consider this performance far removed from belly dance. It doesnt seem to have the same atmosphere as BD, and although the movements are there, I don't think that the movements fit the music.
I do think that some fusion styles are close to BD, but there are those dances which except for using some movements from belly dance have nothing else in common. These dances for me are the ones I would consider as being outside of belly dance.
Now this dancer I know of her, well because i also do Goth Belly dance, I had started a thread on Goth Belly dance and your not alone on the thinking that it is Not really like Belly dance, But may I ask "What is the atmosphere of BD to you?"
A good belly dancer can move to just about any song you give them if the wanted to,
here is another video of the same dancer, and goth belly dancers are know for there makeup and costumes along with the feel of watching a play.
