Product Description:
Stark...intense. The phenomenon of Gothic Bellydance or Raks Gothique is a multitude of poetic visions born out of the Goth, or Gothic, subculture, music, imagery and fashion, and expressed in the language of Bellydance.
Gothic Bellydance incorporates many Bellydance styles: Cabaret, Tribal Fusion, modern dance, echoes of Gypsy dance, Flamenco, Asian, and Indian dance all called to express the darkness and mysteries of life, death, and eternity that inspire Goth philosophies and lifestyles.
This first of its kind, groundbreaking collaborative project brings you the work of innovative and uncompromising 'dark fusion' artists including recognized pioneers of Gothic Bellydance. TeMPeST and Ariellah of California, Asharah, Ya Meena and Raven of Washington DC, Jeniviva, Ayshe, Jehan, Tanna, Blanca, and Neon of New York City, as well as music by outstanding composers and performers including Solace, Jehan, Collide, Knossos, and Gypsy Caravan.
Enter our dark labyrinth and meet souls possessed by an ancient evil spirit, a black-winged fallen angel, an incarnation of Kali and Isis, a leopard-woman from the island of Dr. Moreau, a tormented silent movie vamp, a Gothic 'Lolita' in love with Death, a wanderer in spiritual exile, a snake morphing into a human, a seeker violated and redeemed by divine domination, a Siren exercising her lethal charms, a worshipper of a winged serpent, a flame whose deadly habits are all-too-human, a run-away gargoyle, a maiden transforming into a warrior sorceress, a haunting deja vu where victim, violator and avenger merge into one... and more.

Rating:  - bummed about this DVD
I am bummed, and honestly offended at this video. I am no prude. But the knife scene....ugh... What's next actual animal or human sacrifces??
I really like Jehan, and her other 2 DVD's, The Temple of Jehan, and Sacred Bellydance, but this was too much. The Lesbian S& M scene? Porno or Bellydance.....mmmmm, gonna go with Porno. Hey if that's what you're into, it's your business, but I'm bummed this is listed under Bellydance DVD.....It is misleading. I also love Neon's stuff usually, so i was just surprised all around. yikes! Ladies, i love you all, but what were you thinking??
The blood on the lip scene, eeewww, gross.
I have been dancing 9 years, and I have never danced with blood on my lip.
I am hoping for another Jehan video though....just not one like this!
...Agree with the other reviewer, do NOT watch with your kids around!!!
Rating: - What's Middle Eastern about it?
Belly dance is Middle Eastern. What's Middle Eastern about any of these dances? It's so fusion, it's not belly dance anymore! A couple of these dancers are very good, but not at their best in this video. Jehan Kamal is a fantastic dancer who sometimes lapses into very bad taste. An unfortunate production.
Rating: - what a waste
I'm no goth; however, I am a very experienced belly dancer. I was under the impression that this was a darker, sexy approach to belly dance. I wish I had read reviews and spent more time researching this product because as I watch it now, I discovered that it's a cheesy celebration of the gothic pop culture insulting the art of belly dance. The effects were cheesy and the choreography took no thought nor talent; total waste of my time and money.
Rating:  - Gothic Bellydance - Darker Side of Fusion
Darker Side of Fusion was again, like I said for Revelations, not bad but not great. There were some dances that were entertaining, and the dancers did well, but the feel of the Dvd was lacking somehow. It just didn't give off that Gothic feel and some of the music didn't flow with the scenes. I'd say, if you could, rent this instead.
