Illan at Tribal Fest 12

[@YumikoYoshihana]

He may have won a contest but the entire tribal bellydance community received the gift and prize of his presence. Absolutely stunning, amazing dancer. So wonderful to see such brilliant performances.

[@Smartapants]

It was, without a doubt, the most electrifying thing I saw at TribalFest!!

[@Cjiscj777]

Ive been in the belly game for 20 years and I have never seen anything like this! Excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor.....unbelievable!

[@animenadie]

He makes me want to smother him with hugs and adoration. He also inspires me to keep practicing to be a better dancer. I've never seen anyone put so much heart, soul, and fun into such fluid motion. It's like he's making the music instead of just dancing to it, and that's how I describe him to everyone. What a sweetheart at the end!

[@imaginecreatebe]

Words cannot describe how amazing this man is. He's been officially added to my bucket list of dancers to take workshops from (The others being Rachel Brice and Zoe Jakes).

[@KissOfTheVampire483]

I wasn't so fascinated by bally dance until I din't saw him. His moves are like a magical hypnosis...they have completly conquered my heart

[@irinasuikanen2270]

Excellently! The spirit of Wacław Niżyński lodged in Illan's wonderful body...!!!

[@DaimonEclipse]

This is the best performance I've seen by him. He just keeps getting better. I love how his personality is really starting to show. Can't wait to see what happens next =)

[@Lucretia24]

[@bellyfringe]

and cue standing ovation....congrats Illan!!

[@katiadeluca4480]

Fantastic!!!

[@Maripousa77]

I saw a few moves he did that I have ever seen on any dancer. I think he invented a couple of new moves. :)

[@annabelle6044]

Beautiful !

[@Lux_mundi1]

Simply perfect!!!

[@HelenManzella]

he is an amazing ballet dancer!

[@ashleynorman3129]

AYYYYY get it for real, that was amazing.

[@despina013]

Some girls daydream about One Direction. But then, they aren't belly dancers. So they don't look for videos to use as examples. So, they never ever see Illan. Which is just sad, 'cause he's a hundred times better than any teen pop idol -- and he only dances! I love this. :D

[@Densoro]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much

[@AdoniaTT]

Illan is beyond words or description....He was 19 in this video?? insanity

[@celestialchik]

Lol, I wonder if the chalk was *supposed* to get all over his face XD And aww, shy Illan at the end. He just wanted to book it out of there. For all his sensuality when dancing, he seems to be a bashful person :3

[@ellewoods2920]

Illan Riveire aka Mr. Badass .. Get em Illan ! 😀🌹

[@Pastagoya]

Incredible!!!

[@LoremIpsum88]

Standing ovation :) !!!!!

[@dchperemi]

I think I'm in love with him dude

[@MariaAya]

Amazing Amazing Amazing

[@artbyamalk]

I had the great chance to meet this year in Vienna. I was totally suprise. His workshop was full. He is so friendly and nice. But I want to know where he got that skirt from! I want it!

[@StacyBS]

It is called Tribal Fusion, a mixture of American Tribal Style belly dance, classic belly dance, and any other dance form that the performer wants to mix in - usually hiphop and breakdance moves.

[@Lorefusion]

OMGOOOOOOOSH!!! He is Unbelievable!!!

[@BabyOctopus13]

Love!!!!!

[@louisxiiii]

"No description available" -Nor is one possible. As good as it gets.

[@Catherina347]

He reminds me to Anakin Skywalker.

[@bansheebah]

You know, You're not the only person, when I first saw this video... that was one of the first thing that popped into my head!

[@djosiane]

this kid is amazing!!!!

[@luanaduarte01]

cheers! :DD

[@SiminaDar]

KZbin needs a love button.

[@AtashaShih]

Illaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!

[@ingridgott1]

wonderful dancer

[@spiriri88]

God, I've got the exact same first same, so disturbing

[@OrientalFireFusionBD]

It's Called Tribal Fusion Bellydance

[@winterraven7656]

I dont know if he is shy, or just doesnt know enough words in english, he is french, and only 19. there is a great video of him teaching a workshop in moscow.

[@maryy9649]

T amoooo

[@arrullodeluna]

Wow!!! He was amazing! and Perfect. Beautiful interpretation... I just have an innocent question. This performance seems to me more contemporary dance than tribal, actually most of the performances in Tribal Fest (except for our universal love ones, such as RB, FCBD, ML...) looks more of this kind. What are your opinions? I'm curios. What does people think about tribal turning into something different than what Tribal Tribal means.

[@cherrycore13]

OH MY GOOOOSSSS!!!!! *-*

[@AtomicSolar]

im not into belly dances but this performance is amazing.

[@bansheebah]

Hot damn!

[@AliceBoccaleoni84]

Please, What's the name of he song?Thanks^_^ Illan è sempre il migliore...ci stupisce sempre con qualcosa di nuovo ed imprevedibile!!!Bravissimo!!!

[@aiaimom4997]

凄い！！

[@HyndusSidArtStudioCz]

Perrfect wauuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@desiderius.m.rainbow]

Watching you dance makes me happy! :) What´s that song?

[@Manarox2142]

It is any type of the Arab dances? How it is called? Это какой то вид арабских танцев? Как он называется? Es ist welcher jenes die Art der arabischen Tänze? Wie er heißt?

[@desiderius.m.rainbow]

What´s that Song?? It´s great!!

[@sarahgray430]

A wonderful performance, but what is the significance of the toy unicorn?

[@Yashila]

And he's only 19!!

[@firestonemagic]

a guy who dances better than some of these women.....crazyness!

[@sisibellydance]

WOW!!!!

[@winterraven7656]

Everything evolves : ). there would be no tribal fusion if belly dance had never evolved. Its interesting to see what new dancers bring into bellydance. Dance needs a primordial soup somewhere for evolution. I like the founders mentioned above especially. But younger folks coming on to the scene cant all be carbon copies of the origional classics. To keep it interesting, dancers need to experiment, stretch the mind and be creative. Tribal fusion would not exsist today if the founders had not .

[@lakilea]

this is soooooooooooo epic :D

[@anthonysnell9458]

just about the belly dancer ive ever seen
