Gosh, that brings back some memories! I used to ribbon dance as a kid! Not as well as that, mind...

Same here, I was a full time Gymnast, training for the Olympics in my teen days.My specialities were the floor and ribbon, despite my health now I still practice my ribbon as it gives you a fantastic sense of beauty and control mixed together without too much strain on the body..well compared to floor anyway :s I have been wondering for ages if this could be incorporated into a Burlesque routine but while I think its beautiful and entertaining I need to find a character/story/angle to incorporate it ..... !!! Obviously I am lacking a little creativity at the moment

these girls are awesome!!

Far too many to choose from, but this has always been one of my favourites and is a classic example of the kind of 'challenge routine' and trick choreography which was so popular in American Vaudeville, and developed by many male stars of musical theatre (Bob Fosse, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire...) I still wince at the stair sequence every time!

HONESTLY, THE NERVE OF COME PEOPLE.

Well, I'm afraid you will have to sue Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Iran, Iraq, India and Spain. Furthermore you would also have to sue America, Australia and Canada, as well as Shakira, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera.

As they all use your patented hip movements and Belly rolls.

I wish you luck!
