    Re: Shakira enta omri/ojas asi

    I like her and always have. She's a hard-working and charismatic pop star who has serious dance skills ( like Madonna). There are things I like about her bellydance style and things I don't but overall if there's going to be a singer out there who is accenting her performances with bellydance flava I'd back her over Britney, Miley etc etc.

    Ahh ok. Well, it is the only shamadan routine Shakira has done, so it is the only reference. I believe Bozenka was involved in choreographing it because she is credited for that tour. Your question may have been directed to the poster who commented that it was a good, though!

    Thanks, Kashmir, I think I get it!

    Fully agreed upon!
    That clip Shakifan posted which was composed of many of her dance routines of the same song was very nice! Never seen a non Arab pop star do such a nice bellydance routine that IS actually bellydance. In fact I don't recall any Arab pop star who's ever moved this nicely technique-wise (she is choreographed of course, improvisation would be a different issue IMO).
