Pictures of dancers with Killer figures

sumayasaahir · 07-26-2007, 12:51 PM

So, Im taking the advice of some magazine and putting up 2 pictures on my fridge. One of me at my old weight, and one of someone whose figure I aspire to. I figure the picture should be of a dancer. Anyone have any pictures to share with me of your favorite figures?

Rania's abs of steel:

Really, tho, I think you need to look for a figure that's similar to yours so that it's attainable...otherwise it might just be discouraging to have a hot body on your fridge!

Bozenka!

Love her shape, love her dancing, loved her workshop.

sumayasaahir · 07-26-2007, 01:09 PM

Ill have to pass on Rania. For some reason, I cannot bear to watch her

Similar to my figure- you mean short and squat? Lol

Ha! I just mean think if you're trying to look like Sonia but you're shaped more like Bozenka, it's not going to be encouraging to have Sonia on your fridge. There are lots of skinny dancers and lots of pear shaped dancers and even some top-heavy ones...but if you're gonna put a body on your fridge as an inspiration, she should at least be shaped somewhat like yours. Unless you're going for the WW__Eat type of inspiration?

I just want to have my old body when I weighed less. It was pretty nice.

nasila · 07-26-2007, 02:04 PM

actually, I can't view the pics on your website, but after watching your delightful YouTube clip I think your body type might resemble Aziza's (although you may be a little more hour-glass shaped). Hope that's not offensive at all... :)

How about this?

This woman has looked amazing her entire life. I'd kill for her looks. Salma Hayek and Catherine Zeta Jones are two of my other favorite body role models.

dancerwise - Aziza or Bahaia. I'm not into the hard body look. don't find it feminine and attractive, in my traditional old mindset :) but, fit and feminine is wonderful.

Let's not forget Juliana, 3rd album down.

I think Bahaia is both attainable and goal-worthy.

sumayasaahir · 07-26-2007, 04:48 PM

Ooo I like Bahaias figure. I wanna be toned but still juicy. I def. have an hour glass figure. My (relatively) small waist is the one good thing I can thank my Mexican heritage for.

I think Bahaia mentioned that she is petite (vertically challenged, but probably not as much as me). Who are some other shortie dancers out there?

Bahaia, I hope you don't mind watching me from the fridge!

Dani: Damn Sofia is a bombshell. Problem is, when I loose weight, there go the boobs. If I could maintain this full C, whilst whittling away the rest, that would be ideal, no?

Id love to have Dina's long legs and curvy yet firm abs. How tall is she anyway?

*maria* · 07-26-2007, 05:13 PM

Sophia Loren is my all time favorite movie star and beauty!
she just is fantastic at any age....
I agree with DAni, I don't like the hard-body look either, especially in a bellydancer.
But that's just my humble opinion.

tahiradancer · 07-26-2007, 05:33 PM

Sumaya - Bahaia isn't that much taller than you!

I want to look like Sophia. . .

This one of Ava Fleming is better for appreciating her killer figure:

Does Dina have long legs? I always figured she was pretty short...Or maybe it`s just wishful thinking as I am really short myself and want to think I can look that good

Sumaya, I would really love Dina`s abs too, they`re perfect! Let me know if you find a way to keep that C-cup, I`m fighting the same battle

sumayasaahir · 07-27-2007, 07:13 AM

I promise to divulge all secrets to keeping my bust if happens :)

Oh yeah... I am in a constant struggle of maintaining the ideal weight between small butt and no boobs and round butt with some boobs. Never more than an A size anyway....
But hey, as long as we can stuff our bras!

sumayasaahir · 07-27-2007, 07:41 AM

Lets stuff away sister! :)

Adishakti · 07-27-2007, 09:27 AM

Yep - I'd go for Bahaia's figure too! She looks to be fit yet still jiggles in the right places.

Ava's got a lovely figure, but I wonder how realistic it would be to maintain a figure like that. She looks to me like she works out a LOT!

How about Hadia?

danidance · 07-27-2007, 09:33 AM

Ava is very thin. I think she's naturally super thin. Remember - photos add pounds, which should always bear some impact on our "ideals." If someone looks uber trim in a picture then, well, .....

I love the healthy rounder look and even then, let's be serious, Bahaia and Aziza are tiny. It's not like we're talking "ROUND"...I'd pretty much die for anyone's well-proportioned figure that can sustain a size 6 without working at it. HAH

bahaia · 07-27-2007, 10:48 AM

Honestly, I should have pictures of myself on the fridge!

I've been a very bad girl - slacked off and chunked out a bit.

I've been totally unmotivated but I'm trying to get back in a routine.

I'm 5 feet tall. I'm short - but not really tiny and definitely not delicate.
What I've got working for me is proportion..... currently extra juicy at 39-29-39. I wear size 10 in petites

To maintain the look in the green costume photos from my Bhuz ad requires 30-45 min of cardio at my target heart rate 5x week, plus 2x wk lifting good 'ol fashioned weights. Keep in mind that I love to drink beer and I typically eat well but do not diet.

Aziza and I have very similar upper body, height, and toso/leg proportion but she's a little slimmer through the hips and booty in general. Nice to know, huh?

joanneraks · 07-27-2007, 12:33 PM

Bahaia - I love your body and your whole look!!! :) Thanks for sharing the personal info that might help the rest of us gauge where we're at and where we want to go. And I agree with everyone else that says you'd be a perfect bellydance role model. Maybe you should start marketing some magnets of yourself? :)
