Yes, "cirque du soleil" is exactly what I thought when I watched it.
Anyway, I had time last weekend to really watch both shows end to end. The #2 dvd was actually mostly traditional. I'd say #3 had more of what I'd consider not exactly belly dance, or belly dance with a different twist. I think what made me have that initial impression of "experimental" is I skipped along until I saw the Desert Sin number, and then I skipped a couple more to the Ava Fleming one because I'm a big Ava fan, and she did a dance where she came out in men's suit and danced in a masculine fashion, then took off her jacket and danced in a more traditional, feminine style, albeit still in trousers. Then at one point, she stopped and flexed her arm muscle. Ok, can someone who was at the show or has the video explain this number to me? What character was she portraying at first - maybe a Greek man or a Spanish man dancing?
