yes this is the belly dance feel I was after on youtube today. Not just shaking as fast as you can with no real feeling it or intention. She dances not with her body but with her eyes first and the body follows. With graceful and powerful yet creativity too. I love this. This is the belly dance or closest to it that got me interested as a young girl and every moment since in belly dance. Thank you for this refreshing to see on youtube where they got a load more people who flash and fast can you go moves on you tube that well they are belly dance but there not deep just flash and so sustenance. What do you know it is irina of course! I always recommend watching her and I didn't even notice it was her until after I posted this comment and had to edit it to say so. I also highly recommend Horus all the time for years!
This is definitely a new style of belly dance. Traditional belly dance does have fast movements but it's totally heartfelt when it's done well. Some women focus more on technique and flashiness depending on what they want to do. I really like Soheir Zaki as a great example of raqs sharqi.
This is one of the best tribal belly dance performances I have ever seen. Everything in this interpretation is on point, capturing the wariorr theme, the execution is perfect, not overdone at a single moment - and the fact she did not smile once made it even better. A less controlled facial expression would only have ruined this incredible piece of dance art.
Magical. Hypnotic. Thank you for using your body as a vehicle of art, power and grace for all of us to be inspired. Your curves and rythm reminded me of the strength of water.
I'm not a dancer, but I love to dance and especially watch people who love to dance. Irina is mesmerizing. The control she has over her body and her mastery of the movements is exquisite. She is at once unmatched beauty and feminity, with equal parts of ferocity!!
This Amazon warrior conquered all without firing a shot. The music was oddly satisfying, Irina was beautiful and lithe, like a snake in the tall grass. Totally enchanting. I never thought there were so many talented ladies on the fusion dance circuit. This ethnic fusion thing seems to be taking on a life of its own. Long live the ancient art of belly dancing!
Very graceful and sultry, timing is on point! Exquisite performance with perfect creativity. You are the music if it could be seen, you translated every beat of it precisely. Keep shining bright one! ✨💖✨
I think watching this video has been the longest I've sat in complete silence, with an undivided attention, in a very long time. The movements are so hypnotic. Amazing control. Incredible beauty. Thank you. :)
So perfectly coordinated to the music, so fluid, much different from the usual dance that is about only the feminine aspect. This is a dance that can be only performed by a woman who truly possesses a warrior woman spirit. That was perfection !
Since i start learning belly tribal dance, and learning online from brilliant dancers like Irina, i feel more confident..and happy with my feminity. Thankyou for spreding such a beautiful powerful energy
4:48 I know it's not, but I love how with the lighting, that the material looks like animal fur; as if she hunted her prey and made clothing like a true amazon warrior!
me too. otherwise these days belly dance means just exposing cleavage and moving as fast as they can. this is pure talent no nudity no vulgarity. pure talent😍
superb dancer superb dance superb music Irena Akulenko formidable warrior dance moves best video love this amazing sequence of dance fabulous excellent my favorite
Always so elegant. Irina is like a big cat morphed into human and dancing about stalking prey. Love her movement!
Ok I can’t be the only one who thinks this MASTERPIECE of dance would be the dance a fire bender would dance to.
Yes 💀🙌
I think it's more a water bender. It's too pacific for bender 🔥

This is Tribal/Fusion belly dance, is different from the traditional style which is a lot faster.

She's such an amazing dancer! She's an automatic Must Watch.
Love her dancing and she's beautiful too.

This is the default Russian facial expression. She doesn't need to control her face. Being warriors is historically in the blood of Russians.

Irina is flawless as she is beautiful. She moves like water... flowing. Love to watch her dance. ❤

Very smooth moves and a beautiful costume ! A outstanding performance !

Nancy, are you into belly dance as well? So pleasantly surprised to see you here..
I think watching this video has been the longest I've sat in complete silence, with an undivided attention, in a very long time. The movements are so hypnotic. Amazing control. Incredible beauty. Thank you. :)
Definitely the best one that I’ve seen so far; she tells a beautiful yet terrifying story (of war), with her fluidity of her body & dance.
It is really great to see the younger generation of dancers with power and a fusion of grace and inner balance! Brava!
It's been a long while since she's done a dance, like always she is brilliant and beautiful
Irina is magical! I love her!
Her body is like a full orchestra and her dancing is like the music. I can't describe it better.
She's so good. One of the best if the THE best!
Amazing ,She looks very powerful while dancing
