Oddly enough I had seen Belly Dancing in the early 1990s in Morocco but I must
admit I have never seen Turkish Belly
Dancing until tonight when I was surfing
and caught something of the flavour of it all from the video clips from Turkey.
I found the business of
movement quite inviting as I trained in Classical Ballet myself in England to do a Drama Performance Degree so the need to explore movement in this
context is a great hobby of mine.
I particularly enjoyed the back slide and the rhythmic nature of the movement and of course the costume and style of the dancer with long dark hair moving in time to the rhythm
of the beat captivates the audience. The fluidity of the movement and the
choreography fascinates me as I have also been out in Turkey but unfortunately until tonight I have been lost in the dark and had to imagine Turkish Belly
Dancing .... great stuff on the blog from Turkey ....many thanks and keep on belly dancing ... active stuff! And good to see you too on the website here in the UK along side the Turkish Pop Star Mustafa Sandal!! His dancing is fantastic! Great viewing ... keep on blogging.
