well, that's what the link said

i though the way the drummer plays the dumbeck from the inside was interesting, also that she calls an undulation not useing the ribs a Turkish undulation, i hadn't heard that before.

Fri, June 6, 2008 - 11:42 PMas far as I could see, the "Turkish undulation" was a reversed movement of the "camel", but yes, someting like this move does exist in Turkey. -

Re: Norwegian "so you think you can dance"
Sat, June 7, 2008 - 2:43 AMI'd call it a reverse camel myself, but there seem to be a million different ways of calling something! The way i learnt it, a camel (egyptian stylee) should ONLY be the lower half (just hips) and the upper body should not be involved atall, no ribs.. nothing. But a body wave or a body undulation should involve the ribs and upper body as well. Is that how you guys know it? -

Sat, June 7, 2008 - 1:34 PMReverse camel, undulation down to up, roll-up, reverse undulation, reverse bodywave. All names for more or less the same thing. There's very little common terminology in belly dance.
I agree with Astrid, there is a similar move in Turkish belly dance, I think I see more Turkish belly dancers do it than Egyptian. Go watch some Didem videos, she does it all the time.
And I have certainly heard that camel involving the lower body only is true Egyptian style. The addition of the upper body is a westernized interpretation. -

Re: Norwegian "so you think you can dance"
Sun, June 8, 2008 - 12:53 PMWhen I was taught that what we usually call a "camel", lower or upper, was a wave and a combination of both was a camel (not a bodywave that travels the whole way in one go) the name "camel" became suddenly understandable. 1+2 in the music and 3+4 make two moves for one camel (lower wave+upper wave=camel). A big camel is the thing with big and slow moves, a small camel when it is faster and smaller. When you would be looking down on a walking camel from up in the air, the two things on its back go up and down alternately, like your pelvis and breastcage.
I don't know if this move is authentic Egyptian (but that woman has learnt only from Egyptians), at least I saw myself in a mirror and thought: so that's why they call it the camel...
