#SweetBabou been extra lovey today. @thebellydancebundle #21daysofbellydance day 11 (part 1) from @amandarosedance Shaabi Compare/Contrast Since I can't do this one physically, I'm go ahead and run it in my brain. For me, I love the more grounded, loose feeling of shaabi- though, sometimes, the energy of it completely wipes me out. Raqs Sharqi, though, has a more balletic feel - which is slightly less natural on my frame, but easier on my lungs. I love them equally, though, because they both offer ways to share the emotion of the song, as well as the dancer. Seeing what, in concept, is the same movement, done with different intensity and intent, it absolutely fascinating. #bellydancejoy #bellydance #dance #music #shaabi #RaqsSharqi #bellydancecat #catsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CGVz0iYFley/?igshid=1w6vot6hxhrc7
