Description
Belly Dancer in red, portraiture. The Belly Dance is is a range of dynamic and emotional expressions. Characteristic movements in the dance include curving patterns, undulations, thrusts, lifts, locks, and drops, and shaking or quaking body movements. The focus is on isolated movements of individual parts of the body with little notice given to the footsteps. Arms and hands move fluidly, like serpents or ribbons in the air. Unusual strength and control is demonstrated in the belly area.

Charming work, Joan! My sister is an accomplished belly dancer (she also plays dumbeck drum and collects textiles; this grew from belly dancing - LOL) so I have a special appreciation for this image:>) V/F

A fine image, Joan! However, it brings back memories of when I was a tour leader in Cairo and got hauled out of the audience to perform with the belly dancer. Aargh! :) vf

Joan, Fantastic capture of this belly dancer in motion as she goes through the steps of her dance. Remarkable clarity in the photo with the subject moving and everything in the photo still very clear. Great background puts the viewer's eye right on the belly dancer. Excellent photo, voted, google, tweet and FB promoted and chosen as my Pick of the Day in the group, Lets All Participate
