I LOVE this!

Yes! Actually, after watching her do zaar, I've judged other zar performances [ie. NOT the "real" stuff done for it's own cultural spiritual sake], hers has been one of the standards. She just does it..and she's not making a big deal out of it. I've seen other performances where the dancer tries to emote -- really Baaaaad acting -- and once I see that, I just CAN-NOT appreciate the rest of the performance. Oh dear, maybe that should be in the pet peeves of BD thread.

But anyway - I really enjoyed this dancer's performance.

holy crap! lol does she have a spine? that was crazy..l;,

How about this one? The back bend part starts a little after the 4 minute mark...
