Dani already mentioned some of them in a different thread. I just wanted to start an official Russian Dancers thread. Here are some of my favorites:
Natalia Strelchenko
Sofia Sarkisyan
And Maria Shashkova

I love the Russian dancers. They have so much energy and spice! I always marvel at their unique interpretations of the music they choose.

I think she's great. She's very choreographed but well, that's a feature of Russian dancing it seems. I like the polish of it with these dancers. I dunno - it's different than American highly choreographed numbers somehow.

As going all the time at NileGroup and keep in mind that 1/3 of the students are russians I've seen many.
By far the more enjoyable for me and I've seen her live also is Jasmin.
I just love her dance spirit, the relaxed way she dance and the amazing "easyness" she gives in teqnical things.
The bad thing with russian dancers is that not many speak fluent english so dont have the pleasure to speak with them as much as i would like.
But with the ones that speak we have the greatest dance conversations.
Just 2 things that all the times we chat with the girls are that most of the russian dancers tend to have an "athlete" attitude for bellydance, and also the speed thing.
Teqnical on my opinion are the best group i've seen, the feeling is missing.
Thats why russian dancers that have the feeling (like Jasmin, and Nour ofcourse) just rock !!!
Maria Aya
p.s. lets not forget our own Nuringa who her choreograph work is from the most amazing in arabic style

Thank you for posting the videos, they are beautiful dances. I read about them on the other thread, and I love the way they dress. Very feminine, and not too over the top in my opinion. They also have the body to wear more revealing costumes.

I've seen that youtube b4 when I did a search for Shik Shak Shok and wondered about the dancer. I love that version of the song.

Kateryna,
Do you know where a person could purchase videos or DVD's of "Natalia Strelchenko?" I discovered her shortly before this post and would love to have a DVD of her, her dancing is wonderful. I could not even locate a website for her.
Thanks,
Lisa

Lucinia,
In response to, "Here are my favs. I've download all Russian dancer videos and have them on disc.... so cool they provide this service..."
How does one do this? I am not very familiar with My Space videos. I could not even locate the clips you posted.
Thanks,
Lisa

Irina
I've seen that clip of Irina Popova before and I just love it. Its not easy to be so earthy and so elegant at the same time, yet it just looks very natural to her.

I found out about belly dance popularity in Russia and started following russian dancers when I moved to the States, so I don't know | |
