Okay, last one for bellydancing for a bit . . . but this one just caught my attention . . . bellydance and gothic? Wow. The imagery and the dance are both striking. I really like the visuals on this. The world really needs more innovative bellydance. This was posted to gv by the folks at World Dance New York – they seem to carry a ton of unique stuff along these lines. The blurb…

A blend of music videos and concert-style videos of bellydance performances by top US dance artists working within the genre of "Gothic" bellydance. "Gothic" bellydance is the latest ‘cool’ trend rising with the current wave of interest in dance. It creates images reminiscent of Goth and Rock subcultures and uses music that combines echoes of Goth and industrial styles with many ethnic flavors of modern world music. "Gothic" dance vocabulary fuses bellydance movement with break dance, bolywood, flamenco and other styles.

All the best,
