Melina: Dagger & Sword

This here is the Oriental Dance talented goddess named Melina. She is one of the daughter of Rhea of Greece. She comes from a family of dancers and has been dancing almost all her life (not including her circus acrobat career). But she is an amazing performing, I am especially excited to showcase her youtube clips here on my blog because what she does is so unique. This dancer is fierce!

Here 's the first clip of Melina performing live at a restaurant wearing a fuchsia pink costume and dancing like a star.

What sparked my interest at first was her costume, I love the way she put it all together. Then I began to concentrate on her dancing. I became enchanted with her movements. She has wonderful snake moves and fantastic cabaret turns. She looks so playful in the first song. I love her high energy. I admire her dance character and skill.

In the next clip you can see Melina getting down to a drum solo. Here you can see her dynamic dance technique and skill. She grooves out that drum solo. I totally love it. Melina is a ball of fun to watch. Her oriental style is absolutely wonderful. But wait there is more...


Next clip
Wicked balancing of sword on dagger!

I believe the title alone speaks for itself. And when you see Melina actually balance the dagger on her teeth and then place the sword on top of the dagger, you are completely blown away. I have never ever seen a dancer perform this kind of balancing act. I can't even understand the mechanics of the trick. This is unbelievable and so amazing to watch. I wish I could see her perform this in person, it's probably so much fun.

Melina is a one of a kind dancer... like a jewel to treasure.
