The dancing image

[Kharmine]

Pirikia, thanks for the Fifi clip -- it's priceless!

I dunno that a classy, dignified outfit necessarily has to mean completely covered up and opaque. Even a bedlah doesn't have to look like something you'd see on a Brazilian beach.

There's a fashion blog that has a running complaint about women's hemlines that says repeatedly, "Cover your chachas!" The chachas, in this case, meaning one's pubic area.

The test being, can you sit down/walk,etc. without having to tug your skirt down to cover your underwear? (or lack thereof!)

To me, classy and dignified means -- for a start -- you don't have to worry about whether your chachas is covered. Or for that matter yer butt and yer nipples.

Is that too much "modesty" to ask for?

yes I had a body like that I just might costume myself like that!

Then again I'll be happy to look as good as this dancer!

If I had the body of the first dancer. I would just come on stage naked and pose... wouldnt have to do much else! :lol:

You are not really far off the second dancer.. and she is wearing one of my old costumes from Yasser! :dance:

Hi Pirika,
Yes, a galabiya is not something you would associate with Sharki.

Bedlah is also worn for Shaabi, it is a mythh that it is a galabiya style dance.

Most Shaabi dancers wear anything like you see in the clips.

This is what i identify with now personally....and my biggest fear is that oversexed look that the hair tosssing dancer has in that picture fromt the original post.

Lydia's image may very well be my initial view of the dance and i still love it (and her) - beauty and grace in art! Also because i am a girl and pretty things just make me happy.

Love it Mya! Heee heee also pretyy things quote!

When a dancer looks....ehem...naked, either through enormous slits or ill fitting bra... then it is trashy, not classy...

Just like every day life clothes...

Thanks Carolin

Oh, I guess I watch too much Tito's video, and until recently, he dances any style with galabeya, so I thought it fit all other than shaki.

Maybe street cloth fit to shabbi??? :think:

Honestly, I don't know what to say about this one nor in which thread it belongs ...



What's truly disturbing is the audience howling in the background .. I'll be screaming get off the stage.

 

[Shanazel]

She puts a lot of heart into her performance.

 

[Ariadne]

well.... As a teen the image that formed of the ideal bellydancer was something like this; mature, confident, and graceful. To me many of the popular dancers now are not... 'soft' enough to qualify.

glad you liked the clip.

it goes in the 'Good for a haflah but not for the general public?' thread (under performance).

This thread discusses 'confusing' performances to non ME music.

is it safe to open ..

Thank you for the clarification Caroline .. now I can close up my eyes and sleep. I did not open the thread you mentioned a look at it as I come across some of this ?*** ... Oops, I mean performance from youtub.

I thought it goes with dancing image of ME you have another clip you posted I think in a different thread of David that is also disturbing, I'll try to find the thread and ask questions.

May I ask you a favor from now on would you kindly let me know in advance, which thread is safe for me to open!!!
