omg this is one of the cutest videos ever.  Usually I am not crazy about kids doing belly dance, but this is really and truly adorable.

Oh. Dear. Gods.
That's painfully cute. And for a rather little toddler, she's got a pretty good grasp of belly dance. Dayum.

That was soooo cute.

My troupe mate's youngest loves to dance with us if she's awake and around when we're practicing. Mostly she just holds onto our hands and wiggles. After seeing my teacher's troupe dance at the faire, that very day she demanded (at that time, she was 2) that her parents get her a little wooden scimitar. As soon as her daddy handed it to her, she put it on her head!

I always enjoy it when the little ones dance for their own enjoyment, and not because they have been coached and trained to.

Yeah, that's what I think it is--kids dancing for fun is great, kids reining in their natural enthusiasm and creativity is sad.

Though I do love that footage of little Ansuya doing cane on one of the BDTV dvds :)
