F-U-S-I-O-N

Honestly, l myself is a fusion lady, mix and match is what l totally accept and deep inside my heart, there is no boundary of race, colour, age, rich or poor....the movie that inspired me for my whole life is ' Dances with Wolves ', l could watch this movie again and again.

And l truly love fusion in dance, how awesome when we blend the element from different form of dances together. But of course, we could not simply combine everything without awareness of coordination, for instance, you will not wear a cap with ceongsam rigfht? it is not coordinated! Therefore, it is important to understand the dances that you wish to integrate, at least you must have the experience of learning the dance.

Nath did a fantastic fusion last year, he made all crazy of him, and l was soo jealous ha ha...in fact, l was soo being inspired, thus l planned to do fusion as a tribute to Nath and to give him a surprise. The opening dance of hafla Inspiration is entirely fusion, l tortured my dancers in this dance ha! Most of the steps were strange to them and the dance is very energetic, they needed a longer break after finsihing the dance each time, ha ha, good training to their stamina. I know it is really hard to them, no, not the steps but the style...well, they have done their best! Nath told me this opening dance is his favourite of the night.

And my fusion for the opening dance is solo darbuka, it is not fusion of the moves but the style la, hmm....l think l was not good in this piece as the audience were quiet when l performed......

 

 

 

The opening dance

The opening dance choreography is fantastic. I deeply love the moves you put into this piece of dance. The dance steps indeed need very strong execution from the dancers. Strong movement, firm body & most importantly feel really confidence with what they going to give to the audience. This dance need tough training to execute it right. The dancer must have what we called 'the look of tiger's eye'.......the audience is the target. The dancer cannot have any fear towards audience. I deeply hope your dancer can do it again for this dance in coming next year world bellydance hafla.....great choreography & music. Just need more training on stamina & some extra 'attitude' when carry out this type of dance.......ya, did I mentioned I think the outfit is great. Simple yet 'fierce'.

Ha agree Alice, it is all

Ha agree Alice, it is all about the attitude and not easy for them.

Well, think it is difficult to perform in wbdd as we have other dances to show ma, anyway, will see how.....

Glad that you like the dance :-)
