Yep... her use of jazz squares/back and around steps. The directional changes where she steps out and pushes into one leg, the way she steps back and pulls the arms up in the beginning... the loose shimmy, the way she uses her head and hair,.. the Mahmoud Reda crossover with the big hip accent..... it allll screams Jillina to me. Right down to the way she carries her hands and arms and kind of sinks into the floor with each step.

I’m sorry to disagree with you girls, but I do not like this Hungarian dancer. She definitely has good technique for the belly dance moves (shimmy, hip drops and so on), but other than that I find her movements being very awkward and not feminine. Just don’t like her at all. :)

CUTE! I love the furry muffins on their heads! :-D

That video will stay on youtube until they get sued and shut down - and since google has all the money in the world, that will never happen. so sleep soundly at night. It will always be there :)
i had a really good time at that show - my favorite regular customer from chatanoga came to see the show. His name is Walter and he's exactly a persian version of Patrick Dempsey. He was in the front row and he makes everything better.
Everyone needs a muse.

and i also really love that costume. I put in on my new splash page. www.raks-sharki.com/

and unfortunately, i don't have a video of the bellyqueen show, but it's easy to do the hair thing. just drop to the floow, crouch up in a little ball, and thorw your hair back. it's fun.

talk to you soon, Shayna :)
