Dance Critical Analysis - Essay Example

Your full November 28, Dance Clip For me, dance is such an artistic and creative movement of body that expresses a person’s feelings, ideas and thoughts, and helps relieve stress while developing motor skills at the same time. My favorite dance style is belly dance. The clip I watched on YouTube was a true depiction of my definition of dance (“Egyptian Belly Dance”). It was an Egyptian female dancer, with not a very flat belly. She was doing Egyptian belly dance. She swayed her hips, and moved her body in a beautiful manner.

A variety of energetic and poignant expressions were being portrayed in the way she articulated the dance steps. Her body was expert in making curved patterns, waves, propels, rises, and drops. Her body movements were quivering and quaking with the music, which was some Egyptian melody. Since I knew that in belly dance, the audience is supposed to give attention to individual movements of all body parts instead of foot movements, I closely observed the patterns the dancer was making with her body parts, and especially, the belly, which was moving with extraordinary vigor and control.

I saw that her hands and arms were moving sinuously, just like serpents fly in the air. The background was striking, and the colors in it and the dancer’s dress were vivid and bright. The dance itself was very emotion-evoking, as I found the dancer dancing in the happiness of finding her love. I would love to learn and attempt this dance style, and if I get a chance, I would definitely pay to go see this dance in person. Works Cited“Egyptian Belly Dance.” YouTube.com. YouTube, 2012. Web.
