It is human nature to get bored with things that we've already seen. Bellydancing has been done for centuries, and many people have seen a lot of the moves repeated time and time again. I am sure that people just want to see new things and balancing swords on your head is just the perfect remedy for that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10379384275683788458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624878586990508737.post-56927587667577175082007-05-09T13:30:00.000-07:002007-05-09T13:30:00.000-07:00I do think that people do expect more than just a ...I do think that people do expect more than just a dance and hollywood has a part in it. People go to the movies with high expectations and the only way to satisfy the evolving expectations is by topping what has already been done. I think this applies to belly dancing in some way. A dancer will always have different dances to differnet songs and utilze different styles and moves but people have a short attention span. Props may be needed keep a crowds' attention. At a recent job the audience was amazed by Daniela's use of zills, a sword and sultan props. I heard the guests express that Daniela must be extremely experienced because of the way she incorporated them into her show. Let's face it--it takes experience and talent to balance that sharp, dangerous sword.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
