um.. excuse me miss but i think your dress is on fire. i really want to see a vid of this, if you stop spinning does the dress just fall and burn you or are their supports underneath to prevent that.

I'd have hoped you were aware of the sacredness that whirling has to a lot of people (that I know)... the ambiance of the video doesn't quite reflect that...

Don't get me wrong please, I like naked skin... no... I worship every inch of naked female skin... I'm not a traditionalist... and women DO perform whirling even in Islam... and whirling itself is not necessarily a strong tradition within their faith... yet...
When people from the East - or from a traditional background - look at the West, quite often they take offense by the way that Westerners use sacred rituals and turn them into something... profane.

Tsk Tsk! I wasn't talking about flesh. The skirt all wrapped up in a strange circle flower thing. Looks comfy to crawl into for the Big Zs. You are terrible at times FT

Mmmm yes, it's an American tradition to screw up other cultures. We call it "fun".

Well, to add onto the fire of the discussion, isn't it a little of the same that happened to poi? Somebody to an old tradition out of it original context - and sat fire to it - and made it into something new!
I think it's very beautiful and especially creatively made! Respect to Lara!
