It seems like there's been a lot of belly dancing on shows like these lately. And so far this one was my favorite.
Any thoughts?

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Mon, July 6, 2009 - 4:13 PMI liked her dancing. Much better than the ones I've seen in the Western competitions. I'd love to know more about what she and the judges were saying. If anyone can provide translations, that would be great. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Mon, July 6, 2009 - 7:06 PMI could tell that she was defending the "its not to entertain men, we ain't strippers" motto. Way to go! I loved her shimmies and I know the song is over used but I like Shik Shak Shok. Its such a fun song.

Mon, July 6, 2009 - 7:34 PMI found it interesting trying to pick the English words out from the conversations between the judges and the dancers. She did an amazing job dancing AND verbally representing her art form. Brava! -

Most of her videos are teaching lessons in her own room on request from her friends. Alot of nice stuff in that channel. -

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Tue, July 7, 2009 - 10:14 AMI posed a text comment on the video, and never posted here. ;)
I thought she did a fabulous job. You could tell she really was committed to the art form, and not just shaking it to be half naked and the center of attention, like some others we've seen on reality TV. She had really good technique, I thought. If any improvement could be recommended, it would be hands/arms, but not even that was enough to distract us from watching her dance.

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Wed, July 8, 2009 - 4:15 AMShe has good technique but I don't understand the aggressive abruptness of some moves.

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Wed, July 8, 2009 - 8:27 AMI agree with Nuria, some moves were a bit aggressive, even spastic (like the spins and arms), and at times she didn't seem to be going with the music completely (could be an issue with the sync).
That said, she did much better than the others I've seen in such shows and I don't think I could personally have done better. I know I'd be extremely nervous and that would definitely show. Also, she has wonderful shimmies. -

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Wed, July 8, 2009 - 9:21 AMAgreed, I'm not embarrassed by her dancing as I have been by others on the talent shows. I agree, the spins aren't super graceful, but maybe it's her style? But she certainly has talent.

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Wed, July 8, 2009 - 4:03 PMI think she did a wonderful job. I know I'd be shaking so hard in front of all those people you would think I was electrified! <giggle!>
As for her spins... I think that's an Indian thing. Have you ever seen any of the Bollywood productions?
safe journeys -

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Thu, July 9, 2009 - 2:17 PMThat's true--kathak is one of the classical styles of Indian dancing, and it's all about super-fast spins, like less than 1 count turns. If she has training in that, it might show. Also, nerves, as we most agree on! -
-
Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Thu, July 9, 2009 - 5:37 PMI thought she was really great! Her energy was electric, her smile was genuine, and she knows her stuff! Good for her, and all of us for finally getting some GOOD representations of our dance out there. -

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Fri, July 10, 2009 - 2:44 AMYeah, great energy and really great belly/hip moves - i'm the same with the turns and the sharp movements, but then it might be her style - not to my taste but she was gorgeous and earthy and passionate. Much more so than others i've seen on teh same show. -

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Sun, July 12, 2009 - 9:17 AMWow! That was intense. I don't know if I'd even make it onstage, if I were in her place.

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Tue, July 14, 2009 - 3:40 AMMichelle! My god! I heard the occasional thing like muslim Indian star tennis player is being criticised by the conservative (muslim) community of Hyderabad for wearing "indecent" attire on the tennis court (meaning regular female tennis players skirts and no veil...) but I took India largely for a peaceful and liberal place!
Good to know she's safe, still, that must have been pretty upsetting for her! -
-
Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Tue, July 14, 2009 - 3:59 AMI thought she was really rough. She did some good ab isolations with shimmy but I think she over did it to many times. She's got potential but needs some polishing.

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Wed, July 15, 2009 - 12:40 PMyheah, if you look at related links on GS they haven't had much luck performing in India!
i did like the India's got tallent dancer, although i she looked rushed and overdancing, she was at least bellydancing, in a professional costume, to real bellydance music. i thought she did a great job for that, and getting on the air doing that!

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Sat, July 18, 2009 - 6:00 PMDid anyone see the brief glimpse earlier this week of a bellydancer on America's Got Talent? I wish they had shown more because she looked like she was pretty good. She started dancing with a Shamadan, and they also showed a glimse of some sort of floor work without the Shamadan. -

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Sat, July 18, 2009 - 8:29 PMYes, I saw that episode. She made it thru to the next level. Hasselhoff said it was the best bellydancing that he had ever seen. I make no comment. -

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Mon, July 27, 2009 - 9:13 PMa lot of hip work, loved it! yes a bit aggresive but i liked it, raw!!!!!! xxxxx -

Re: Belly dancer on India's Got Talent
Tue, October 20, 2009 - 3:21 AMVery good technique, but a bit frantic sometimes, if she could relax a bit it would add to her dancing. The drop on the floor looked very hurried I'm afraid that might hurt her back.
