Sadie once again shares a great performance.  Her muscle control and musicality truly makes one want to get up and dance!

Forgive me for posting this one again but this one goes too well with today's post.  Marta Korzun is a beautiful dancer from Ukraine.  The way she seamlessly switches from the melody to the drum line amazes me.  Her costume in this one also shows of uneven fringe in different lengths and materials.

Flowers, sparkles, full skirts, zills and swords!!

Alicia of BellyCraft has always inspired me.  Here is a clip of one of her latest performances.

I don't like to watch Sadie when she is dancing with her partner.  Watch one video of her with her partner and one without and you will see why.  In this solo video, I find nothing to fault and a lot to be inspired by.

BDQ recently stated that if your dance wouldn't thrill without a prop then it is a crutch.  Sadie uses not only a regular veil but her costume's arm drapes to accent her dance perfectly.  Put that together with the great use of skill and musicality, this is a must watch video.

I love how she not only shows great skill and musicality but also personality.  She gets off the stage so the audience feels more connected to her.

Shushanna is a great individual I have become acquainted with on Bhuz.com.  I love the skill and showmanship she shows here.  Even though it is a big stage and the audience is not near her she gives enough attention to them that I bet it felt a lot more intimate than it was.  Her opening veil work while wearing zills is something I need to work up to.

Beautiful arms and flow.  I will definitely want to watch this again when I am working on a drum solo to see the different accents that they used.

A great performance by Rachel Brice showing great muscle control as well as the great Rachel style.

Funny at how we baulk at certain costuming that was prevalent so long ago as being scandalous.  What would truly make this scandalous now when it wasn't then?

Besides just great dancing, I love the spunk she shows and her costume.  I have some pearls in my costume supplies that have been waiting for a design.  I think I have found it here.

Blanca has always been an inspiration of mine.  This piece is great to see not only her musicality and dance skill but also how to present a balance number to an audience.  She goes around and the audience gets a chance to see it is not an illusion but a real tray with real candles.

Soheir Zaki performance from the 1970's shows classic bellydance.

Today's Inspiration

I love the double veil introduction.  I'm sure the costume would be too distracting from close up with that many cutouts in the bra but from the distance filmed I can focus on the dancing.  I also liked how she seemed to be using only a few moves.
