Rachel and Illan, I LOVE watching you two dance together! There is such a great sense of the scared masculine and feminine all warped up into one amazing performance. It's really incredible!
These two are the most mesmerizing dancers to watch. I don't think it gets much better than this. Both are so exquisitely sensual and musical they are a delight to watch!
I must have watched this 5 times. I've never seen these 2 dance together. Now I think they should get married and have lots of babies. Beautiful performance.
Oh my! I can't. I love Rachel, but I couldn't stop looking at him. He dances so... Beautifully. The only male belly dancer that I've seen that doesn't dance in a feminine way. He has his own way of belly dancing that I've never seen before. I think I've fallen in love jajaja
Honestly, I think that the term "best" doesn't make 100% sense when we're talking about art & artists. There are amazing, inspiring, talented dancers that have all kinds of different strengths and different ways of expressing themselves and/or the music. Deciding who is "BEST" is sort of like having to choose a "best" food or a "best" yoga pose. There doesn't have to be a #1, we can all just be ourselves! Love to you guys, and thanks for all your support!
I agree. We Americans like to rank things, but all artists and arts should be admired for their individual beauty. Peace, joy and love to you and everyone. 🙏
This is FANTASTIC 🌹 .. She's the only person who can " hang " with Illan on the dance floor . And yes , Illan is a " badass " dancer as WE ALL KNOW . 😀🚶💖 😯 Get 'em Mr. Riveire. ! 😇
Yes, his new fresh style is the reason why I said "the best tribal fusion dancer of the future". He is so young and I am excited how he surprises us. And he will.
I don't think Rachel feels all high and mighty like that, she loves to dance with people that inspire her more than anything, I think. Illan is a very inspiring dancer. Not just a great tribal fusion dancer, he is much more with all those crazy turns and intensity.
Love Rachel of course, but Illan has taken bellydance and turned it into something a bit different for the guys! He is the only male bellydancer I've ever seen that I like a lot. Has he created a different type of dance? His energy is focused a bit differently so it reads more masculine. He is not copying women but doing something different, at least this is how I perceive it.
They are both amazing dancer! But Rachel is for me so fascinating. And he too. Its not criticism to all other dancer. There are a lot of beautiful dancer and Rachel dance definitely a lot of great duets. But when she dance with Zoe Jakes or Mardi Love I look mostly on her. When Illan and Rachel dance together I see in both the same fascination. :)
Not to mention, if dancers are doing their jobs properly and not falling into mimicry, then comparing dancers should be akin to comparing apples and oranges (eg, even from the same "school", rachel and zoe are completely different). If a dancer is herself she has her own thing to offer whether technically, musically, emotionally, accessibility (list goes on), and this is especially inspiring when crossing genera's, schools, philosophy's and techniques.
Rachel Brice could never dance a duet like this because there wasn't someone who was on her level. Illan is probably the male version of Rachel Brice (in his own way, of course). The best tribal fusion belly dancer in the world and the best tribal fusion dancer of the future on one stage. What could be better?
If at some point in the future, alien invaders plan to destroy the human race, we will show them this video and, their alien eye-stalks filling with alien tears, they will shake their alien heads in awe and leave us respectfully in peace.

The more I watch this the more I see all the little subtleties and nuances. Absolutely beautiful and inspiring. Thanks so much.

Beautiful performance.
The beauty is itself the mix of different cultures, styles and people!
That's rich, transcendent, amazing! That's really art.
Fantastic pairing. You two are amazing together and compliment one anothers skill and style. Keep up the inspiring work!
The perfection exist, this is the example!!
Gorgeous. Rachel as wonderful as ever, and Illan is like the Nijinski of fusion dance.
Lindo demais. Me emociona como eles são conectados.
Wow! Even better than their performance at tribal fest. This is IT. LOVE IT.
Oh my! I can't. I love Rachel, but I couldn't stop looking at him. He dances so... Beautifully. The only male belly dancer that I've seen that doesn't dance in a feminine way. He has his own way of belly dancing that I've never seen before.
I think I've fallen in love jajaja
GOOD MORNING

Потрясающе!
FABULOUS
I love these two!
Wow wow :'') es hermoso!! Morí x_x

Damn, those backbends almost made me fall off my chair with excitement.
That... wow. That rules.
They compliment one another’s styles so beautifully. It would be hard to put any other dancer next to Illan, he’s so dynamic. But Rachel!

You'd da BEST
Illan! Look at him go! Spin!

yes "calculate" Amon Tobin
I always add titles and musicians at the end of the videos ;)
It's listed at the very end of the video. :)

I think Mardi Love and Zoe Jakes are also on her level, and Rachel's duets and trios with them were also great
Buenas!! Saben como se llama el nombre de esa canción?

Anyone know what the music is?

do Ilan, Mardi and Zoe also study yoga?
Also Sera Solstice-- different, but just as talented, I think.
I dont think that she thinks that but I think that. :)
