Movie Reviews of Tribal Fusions: Exotic Art of Tribal Bellydance
Movie Review: This is getting old...
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't really love anything about this video. Production issues aside, I found the dancing extremely uninspired and boring. I think I only made it through Rachel's performances, I kept skipping through the other performances as they were very one-dimensional. They all wear similar gothy belly dance costumes and do the robot to bad, monotonous industrial music. There's virtually no emotion or feeling expressed in their dancing, they're more concerned with technique, being cool and showing off what their bodies can do. I firmly believe that technique is essential to dance, but please balance it with some joy--or any kind of emotion for that matter--and musicality! I don't get any real sense of the expression of music or interest in expressing music. Maybe they choose this ultra catatonic/ industrial music so they can randomly snake or robot around as they like, then occasionally hit the superficial beats so it looks like they're still on. Doesn't take much musical understanding. At one point my mom came in and said all the twiching and darkness made the dancers look like they were going through heroine withdrawl.
I also take issue with the cover description. It calls this tribal, which it is not, and says that it incorporates "gypsy, flamenco and other folk dances into belly dance to result in a darker alter ego." This is tribal fusion which, to my knowledge, was pretty much developed by the Rachel B/Indigo and it draws primarily on modern dance and popping and locking. Furthermore, there is nothing inherently dark about tribal belly dance, just go watch Gypsy Caravan or Fat Chance, they smile and have fun.
Anyway, this is really not my cup of tea. I respect dancers like Rachel and Zoe, they are talented dancers with amazing technique, but I feel like they need to expand their repetoire and actually try something new...they've been doing this for a while, it's getting old.
Summary of Tribal Fusions: Exotic Art of Tribal Bellydance
The Bellydance Superstars present some demonstrations of the art of Tribal Bellydance with this program. Tribal Bellydance originated in San Francisco and is executed in a style that is much darker than the more typical upbeat bellydance routines.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MISCELLANEOUS/SPECIAL INTEREST UPC: 894169002704 Manufacturer No: 9416900270Special Interests DVD Video
