youtube junkies unite!!!!!


I can 3rd the youtube addiction...and mine extends beyond just bellydance-yup, cute kitten and bunny vids, parody vids...sighs...I have a serious problem...

Hey! I think the UK needs an Anahata invasion!!!!!!!

lol I swear youtube is almost as dangerous as ebay....whole hours can get swallowed up without you realising!!

Seriously, you guys are good - the choreography is very special. It's got all the funk of the other tribal groups (like unmata etc) but there's something very feminine and sexy about it. That to me is the whole point - I mean it's great to watch when people can shimmy away like demons on speed and all but sometimes I feel they've lost the roots somewhere along the way.

I just wish we had things like this over here. Our Haflas tend to be very small and amateur and as far as I'm aware there's only one teacher of Tribal bellydance in Wales (where I live) and she's so far away I can only go once a month to her special workshops :( We don't have gatherings like tribal fest or belly jam or anything like that. I wish I could win the lottery LOL I'd come live in the States for a year or two and learn as much as I can - make it big here. Start up an annual festival. It's very difficult to find outfits too - I've ended up making mine for my first performance next month because I couldn't bear to go on stage in see-through trousers!!!!! It's sad because bellydance is actually really popular here. I live in the sticks and there are 3 weekly classes in my local town alone! It's just that noone really seems to want to take the leap away from the cabaret and traditional styles to go for something a bit different. I'm trying mind LOL - I recently wrote a dance for Tainted Love by softcell from moves I found on youtube although it's a bit basic. I've only been learning for a few months so I'm not very good yet. I have to leave out all the complicated stuff!!!!!
