Gothic Queen: Jeniviva

For this Halloween, I decided to showcase Jeniviva's youtube clip. Why? Because Jeniviva is a big Gothic Bellydance hit in New York. And Gothic bellydancing is darkest side of Middle Eastern dance-- perfect for Halloween =)

Here is Jeniviva performing live at my moon along side the wonderful band Djinn. There is another dancer named Isis in this clip performing with a sword but she isn't seen much in the clip.

I decided to use this specific dance clip of Jeniviva because it showcases her performing with her long creepy dance nails. I love the dark settings in the room and the dim lights, I believe it helps pull out Jeniviva's character.

She's exotic, mysterious, majestic, and breathe taking. Many dancers alike admire her style. Here's a clip of her in action:

Notice her long slithery movements. She has terrific isolation control and technique. Her stage character is mesmerizing. Everything about her in this clip is so dark, yet sexy. She moves beautifully with the music.

A powerful dancer who knows how to bring in her audience and place them under her spell. It's no wonder so many run to see her perform.

Have a happy Halloween!
