This reminds me a lot of Bharatanatyam and tribal belly dance. One of the most perfect examples of fusion. I just love the lighting, choreography, body shape, costume, and makeup - literally everything. So beautiful and gorgeous and at the same time so emotional! She looks like a goddess in a temple!
Oh I didn't know that - thank you! I watched an Odissi video but can't really spot how it is different from Bharata Natyam.. It would be grateful if you briefly tell the differences :D
Well, I am a Bharata Natyam dancer myself. There are a lot of difference between the two classical dances. Only the mudras are same, but how they are used is different. In short, Bharata Natyam has more masculinity or Tandava and Odissi has more feminity or lasya. Odissi is more flowy and smoother than Bharata Natyam, that's why it meshes so well with Raqs Sharqi.
Innocence, Sexuality, Divinity, Elegance...complete essence of Womanhood...your craftmanship, just spoke to my Soul...thank you for Blessing us, with your beauty, and dedication to the dance...I am humbled, and inspired by your Inner/Outer Goddess Nature...reminding me of mine, laying dormant for eons....NAMASTE, & Blessings for your gift...Tears of emotion xoxo
Wow! She is so beautiful! I can see the movement of the energy surrounding her and the way she moves the energy within her, the way she flows is extraordinary! I loved this dance, its a dance of a goddess. bravo!
This is the first time I have seen both bellydancing and Indian-style dancing combined, and it was done sooo seamlessly. The costume was perfect and the music? Oh, man! The music was just plain divine! I have got to get one of Irina's dance fitness DVDs!
Can't believe 2 people disliked this. You'd have to be lacking in cultural appreciation and imagination to not be in awe of what she has put together. I couldn't stop watching it.Nothing short of amazing as her choreography usually is
The most (expletive deleted) beautiful thing I've seen! An amazing combination of the soulful sound of the sarangi with the dancer's personal beauty and traditional Indian dance movements.
I come back here, when I need inspiration for the goddness, Irina with the most beautiful choreo that I have ever seen😍 Sweet, pure, soft, balance... The female expression💓
+Irina Dances Truly amazing talent you have then because your outfit is beautiful! This was such an inspiring performance. You looked incredible and your dance was flawless :)
I am a martial artist & as in every art emotion brings it out the best of it....Irina your perfomance is extremely superb... i imagine this a as cliff by the ocean waves gracefuly passing by right after a storm...
I watched this woman live...SHE IS MAGIC! I fell into a trance within seconds of her staring at me while she danced. The only one that comes even close to this woman is Shakira. Keep thriving Irina!
Irina, you are just wonderful, your movements are so graceful, everything in this dance is mervelous. Your outfit is also gorgeous. Do you give some crash courses? I'm from France, and I'd love you to be my teacher, even for some days! Amazing
I have watched this video over 20 times.... she is utterly captivating. I desire so badly to learn this choreography and greet the sun each morning with this dance.
Mil beijinhos de Luz Geisa... maninha mais linda... Tenho tantas saudades tuas... Uma chuva cintilante de flores de luz a cair sobre ti.... Continua a irradiar e a ser como só tu mesma... Beijinhos na alma irmã e amiga.
Gratidao Minha Querida Bia, Irma e Amiga, continua Tu Tb ♥ :) Um Beijo e um Grande Sorriso de Coracao a Coracao :) *** & 1000 So'is a Brilharem Eternamente Para Ti ☼ ☼ ☼ :))))))))))
Irina's artistry & costume are remarkable. I liked this video so much that I couldn't decide which playlist on my channel to add it to. So in typical TH-cam playlist-nerd fashion, it's on 3: World Dance, India World Mix, and Belly Dancing :D
Beautiful. Powerfully moving. I loved this though, for me, the cinematography interfered some with the experience. I would love to see her live front row seat.
Irina is my absolute favorite belly dancer. She picks really beautiful and classy outfits and music, and her dance is perfection.
Right?! Yet another gorgeous outfit. And I love how she dances like a ballerina as well.
Kira Lebedeva is awesome
i love her because she doesn’t sexualize the art unlike many others. she’s a true and genuine belly dancer
@@aquafinner1505 ... that, and without losing the sensual side.

She literally looks like a goddess!!! I'm here for it!!!
And you too... look like a modern goddess .
Irina's dance is absolutely mesmerizing. So elegant and beautiful. Such a talent, it makes me so calm and relaxed just to watch.
The combination between Arabian and Indian is literally everything 🥰❤️👌🏻
Agree it so is

True. But, It's not Bharata Natyam. It's Odissi. :)

I see. Thank you for the answer!
Doesn't matter both are indian dance forms - odisi, Bharatnatyam

Her movements, her costume, the lights are absolutely stunning she looks like a goddess.
This is such an elegant and beautiful artform.

You are a goddess Irina: my teacher, my inspiration forever. I miss you so...
literally got emotional watching this! soooo beautiful and one of my favorite belly dancers. by far the most technical and perfect movements on point.
***** haha
Selina Smith I couldn't agree with you anymore! !! All others pale in comparison to Irina!!!
She is So smooth and graceful!!! You watch other bellydancers and they're just letting it all flail around.
Yes!
Yeah, perfect costume designer for great compatibility with the Indian Fusion! Especially that flower arrangement at her hair styling! :)
A wonderful rendition of the Orissa dance form. The soulful sound of the sarangi was very complementary. Ms. Akulenko is certainly very talented.
That was the most beautiful dance I have ever seen! It looked like worship! How I wish I could dance like that...
This is the first time I have seen both bellydancing and Indian-style dancing combined, and it was done sooo seamlessly. The costume was perfect and the music? Oh, man! The music was just plain divine! I have got to get one of Irina's dance fitness DVDs!

It feels like watching a majestic bird dancing, these movements are something else. The human body never stops to amaze me.
