Bellydance with Fire: Stellar Body Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This video consists of a few parts, different in their choreographic flavor, using different costumes and presenting different moods, all to medium-to-fast tempos.In practically every dance Neon balances either a tray with tall lit candles placed on it in various arrangements, or a shemadan (Egyptian candelabra with candles).Neon does not go from pose to pose like most dancers who perform balancing acts.She is not interested in tricks like going down to the floor and rolling over maintaining the balanced object on her head.She just dances.The focus is on dance, not on balancing.This is what gives this video its unearthly flavor.I have never seen a belly dancer DANCE so effortlessly like this while balancing.(I should add that few bellydancers can dance like this WITHOUT balancing!)The tall 3-tier candelabra floats in the air over Neon's head without a tilt while she performs very modern fast-paced dances with a lot of sharp hip work, turns and undulating.Often, especially in the very first number, Neon's body seems like quicksilver.Neon's performances look very modern:Most belly dance shows you see around feature the belly dance style developed in the US in the '50s and '70s.Neon has her own glamorous style, which I think is very sellable to modern urban audiences.And I can see a lot of imitation following this video, which IMHO is okay, that's why artists and writers publish their work, to make their impact on the art scene.In terms of production, this video is unlike any dance performance video I have seen.It is more like a painting.Some scenes from this video belong in a video art gallery.
