She is the best belly dancer out there. She maintains the true art form but still possesses just enough of a modern flare that captivates audiences who are not seasoned belly dance enthusiasts. Her skill and athletic levels are top of the line and everything she does is very, very classy.
As a Martial Artist, I love to watch great belly dancers, because it's a great lesson in internal muscle control, as well as moving energy through the body. Keep it up ladies, you inspire me with your discipline and artistry.
I love how she makes it look so effortless and relaxed. Very refreshing! And yeah, she's got a belly but that's the beauty of belly dance. It can be mastered by women of all shapes. Do you really wanna see a 6 pack in that costume?
C'est magnifique ! Je n'ai pas de mots pour exprimer : Elle est magnifiquement belle, elle danse magnifiquement et c'est une sacrée performance. J'adore les percussions et son costume ! Je suis hypnotisée...
Ok, let's not get confused here...what Shakira does in her shows and videos are completely different to what these dancers like Jillina are performing. Don't misunderstand, I love Shakira and her music and dancing, but she incorporates "her" style of bellydancing to enhance her dancing act. Dancers like Jillina are "professional dancers" trained for countless hours, perfecting their craft. If they work hard enough and with luck, they can make a living at it. I salute these women AND men who are professional bellydancers!
Yeah what she does in her show has a latin american twist on it but she DOES in fact know how to belly dance! Check out her dancing at the Morocco Mawazine festival, and I'm sure she also trains a lot as well :)
Shakira is the one who's doing it right her mother is from an arabic country jilina is just jumping around belly dancing is about keeping your feet on the ground and wht she've done with her hair at 5:46 07 :05 is called Jdib and it got nothing to do with belly dancing tht's another type of she's just ruining our dance we arabs don't dance like tht no one can do it like us lol
As a non Arabic woman, of non Arabic ethnicity. It is painful to have that come into account when it comes to the dance form. I have spent my whole life training and learning the traditional forms of these dances. Not to steal but to share, not to invade but to carry on these traditions. Because others have passed on the knowledge for centuries it has survived entire cultures. The languages, and cultures of the ORIGINAL dancers are forgotten, their lives dust. Because it was shared it lives beyond them, will live beyond us. I love this dance more than any other dance form. Please don't turn out anyone seeking knowledge and skill because of where they are from.
Everything about this performance is perfect; the exquisite costume, the setting, the drum, the intensely exciting dance, and of course the beautiful Jillina herself. Utterly hypnotic !!
I could watch her all day. Her dvds were among the first "instruction" I ever got when I was starting out. Lots of people seem to like to criticize her, but I think she's among the best. She'll always remain a personal favorite and a source of inspiration.
Ah Jillina! One of my all time favorites! My first teacher and still one of the best teachers I ever had. Such an inspiration to me and to so many of us!!
I think it is one of the best performances ever to hit a stage. Love the drum, the energy and the choreographing. And the stamina on that woman is unbelievable. encore yes yip yee
lol. well, she was in her mid 30's when this was filmed at least. YES it takes a lot of skill to learn. Her stomach is almost flat, you see her muscles even. Belly dance is a dance that celebrates femininity and the beauty of being a woman. WOMEN like really thin women, men like women that look like women. The media has messed up our idea of healthy body weight. Pro dancers like Jillina train like crazy, she is basically an athlete and I guarantee very healthy, not at all 'over weight'
JILLINA, UN DELEITE VERTE DANZAR AL SON DE LOS DRUMS... EXQUISITA, BELLA, SENSUAL, GRAN MAESTRÍA Y DOMINIO MENTAL Y CORPORAL, MOVIMIENTOS FLUÍDOS Y PERFECTOS,... REALMENTE UN PLACER VERTE! GRACIAS. DANIEL.
Her dance is so harmonious with the music; this is sheer mastery. People can say whatever they want but if they locked themselves in a room trying to learn some of these moves they'd never haste to criticize and judge even belly dance masters
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS SO AWESOME I CANT BELIEVE IT. REALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Sexy DeathEater yes, I still think Shakira is the queen of belly dancing, none of this girls match her, maybe they got the right original steps, but shakira takes it to another level, her Technic is amazing and not amazing like for a nonprofessional like she is but amazing like really amazing, her moves are stronger but without losing class or looking tacky, plus she has a killer body than all of the dancers i've seen so far.
No offense but Shakira's moves are tame, they are nothing in comparison to this lovely lady and other dancers. Plus, you gotta have a tummy/pudge so you can preform a lot of the moves correctly and perfectly.
+Sexy DeathEater agree.. Shakira may use some of oriental movements in her shows, but, in my eyes, she is in comparison with dancers like this "woody" she only simulates the oriental dance (I like her singing, by the way, I am not her enemy:)
that black color out fit, heavly desighned with terditional Afghan, gypsy coins, top on the line. along her beautiful silver jewelry. she did Excellent.
Fantastic! She's so talented! For those of you who are saying she's fat, shouldn't you be off perusing pro-ana pro-mia sites and crying yourselves to sleep next to uneaten cheescakes or something?
Esta canción es una remezcla de la canción de Issam Houshan Drum Language, puedes buscarla en el Album Master of Arabian Percussion, es la tercera. La canción que utiliza Jillina contiene partes en vivo agregadas para su propio uso, pero la de Issam es la mas parecida.
she's not overweight, and belly dancers need to "have more skin" in order to show more the movement, and more skin is more sexy. lol at least my opinion. and when belly dancers have wider hips the move looks better to me,it's called belly dancing, you have to move your belly...
OF COURSE!! SUITABLE BREAST, SUITABLE PELVIS, SUITABLE STOMACH AND SUITABLE HIPS ARE NEEDED. ADDITIONALLY SUITABLE THIGHS ARE NEEDED. KOLOS AS WE SAY HIPS IN GREEK IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR BELLY DANCERS..
exhaleDM It's called Belly Dancing because when Napoleon invaded the Middle East it was the slang he and his soldiers used to discribe the dance, but obviously so much more than a belly in the dance. As for belly size bring them all shapes size and color!
Sou sua fã se eu conseguir fazer esta báscula e está vibração já estou satisfeita quadril já é mais fácil. Para mim você dança graciosamente e não É vulgar bj Claudete Moura dança Brasil

Thanx Ma Nel...you're right, only Arabs know how it's done.
What about styles, they can vary from the Arab neighbors, is this not so?

I had the blessing of attending to one of her workshops in DC. It was the best experience ever. Very inspiring.
