And like Lauren I've never seen any dance from over there use this movement (I've seen small fast African circles - but not this big cruncher). However, this was the technique we were taught in jazz dance - along with those over extended lumbar arches with a drop over the toes (hurts just to think about it)

Amira Mor's style is described as a fusion of jazz and belly dance on the DVD of hers that I have. These don't look like belly dance hip circles to me, or omis.
I just don't like her style or her vibe. And I don't like the scene with all the students randomly dancing in poorly-fitting costumes. I guess it's supposed to look like fun so the viewer will want to take her classes or something.
