Hi, this is also a choreography tribe, so I would like to ask everybody that knows the song Dina Tata. I find it a beautiful piece of pop which really gets me party mooded. Amar Gamal dances it on the dvd "the exotic art of bellydance", I've seen a minute of her choreography on youtube and it really matches the mood - there is another clip of a girl dancing with cane but her moves seem too small for me, they are good for the "taksim", but for the beginning I prefer Amar's temperamental approach But, do you call it a taksim what starts at around three minutes? It is kind of accordeon-taksim but the beat continues. It's endless which for me kind of draws the initial temperamental mood out of the song. I'm thinking of editing/shortening it, but even though, after that "taksim" finishes, they don't bother to pick up the initial theme but the song finishes surprisingly, cutting it short.
When dancing to it, do you perceive this as a problem? How do you put the two moods together? Would you also cut that taksim (is it a taksim or not?) or not? The taksim plays around and seems to ask for a lot of hipwork or core-moves without a lot of travelling, at least in my interpretation. How can you dance it as a piece that belongs together and not like two separate pieces?
