Shakin' that ass..... I mean belly.

I told you didn't I that I would show you belly dancers not beer bellies dancing the night away. Put it this way if these ladies shakin' bellies, booties and other b bits didn't show up I would have lured those beer bellies out out of the pub and into action behind darkened veils in a carry on style. Think the hairy stomachs hanging over might have given the game away though don't you? Anyway back to the jiggling ladies. Here they are as promised as some of you out there would say. .... You go girls you got it going on.... is that OK Svg?
Obviously I took more that one photo of the ladies(can anyone name them and some info please?) about (25) and they will be making an appearance at various intervals. I just wanted to show you this one so you can see the Isle of Man Bank in the background. Just for those who often ask is this really in Ramsey. Is this really the Isle of Man? Oh yes it is!Occasionally we get to have what other places have, maybe not belly dancers, (though personally I think every town should have them), but something called a good time. Pity some kids had to take the p..s though of the dancers and the bands playing. Pity I never got the evidence on camera. Oh no, wait a minute I lied ..... I did.

Looks as though fun is being had by all. Cool shot, Babooshka! And a great one of the bank as well which I'm glad you included just so we know for sure where we are in this one.
ReplyDeletei think that these ladies are fab. and using the bank as a back drop so we no you aren't fibbin'...clever one you are.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of music was playing while they danced their a**** off? did they have little clanger things on their hands and bells and all as well?
call me inquisitive...lol
have a wonderful tuesday.
Babooshka: I just want to know if you joined into the dance? Fun contribution to MW.
ReplyDeleteFishing guy - No dancing for me by belly is too flat.
ReplyDeleteErin- Yes they did have those clanger things and bells. The music was soft and swirling. Well that's what it sounded like after a beer or too.
The dancers add a lot of color to the scene, in more ways than one. I can see many of the spectators were trying out the moves.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we didn't get the beer bellies.
ReplyDeleteTheir colorful costumes and the back drop of the city street make a nice photo.
Summer is the time to visit your world. Many happenings going on. I wouldn't mind a good laugh today if you showed some beer bellies. That would make me feel a lot better about my love handles :)
ReplyDeleteIf it's a hairy belly you're wantin' I can provide dear Babooshka.
ReplyDeleteBut I much prefer these lovlies. Truly.
Okay, so where are the bellies? I see dancers but no bellies! Did I miss something? I certainly saw those balloon-like red pants!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking very closely at these images from Friday night and phew! No sign of me yet! I was there though working hard (So no camera)and keeping an eye open for you and Pete.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the ladies performance. I always enjoy these ladies dancing. To answers readers questions. Yes they did have cymbals on the their fingers. The ladies had, without being too delicate, plenty of tummy to roll. You can also see the Mitre Hotel a Ramsey landmark in addition to the bank.
ReplyDeleteWell done. Look forward to the other 24.
Looks like we both posted what we previously promised this week. And those are some weird pants those girls have.
ReplyDeleteAdore those brightly coloured silk? pantaloons! They would certainly give a flash of colour! Great post!
ReplyDeleteCool as F.
ReplyDeleteMC Hammer called, he wants his pants back! ha ha ha
ReplyDeletei hear it can be great exercise...
ReplyDeleteI tried belly dancing once. It definitly works those stomach muscles !!!
ReplyDeleteCool photo of a fun time...
I nitice there are a couple of kids trying to get the rythm going...
Sighhhhh ... I think I need a spell checker..
ReplyDeleteFun photo!
ReplyDeleteHey B, this is so cool. I know it's hard but I'd really like more of this king of image. You rock
ReplyDeleteThey say belly dancing is great exercise. I like to watch it, but I'm not game to try it!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a tease Babooshka. Which one is you?
ReplyDeleteLooks fun, great shot! More, more
ReplyDeleteWhat a dance !!! must be fun :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Show us some more belly dancers! Not native to the Isle of Man! R U a belly dancer 2?!
ReplyDeletehmmm, been trying to shake a bit off my belly, maybe I should try that :D
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and a fun post. Ironically when I was young and slender without much of a belly to move I took belly dancing. Now that I'm an older woman with plenty of belly, there's no way I'd take belly dancing although I have friends that do and say it's a fun way to exercise.
ReplyDeleteGreat now I have that old Renault Megane advert stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice shots.
BTW, Thanks for all of your encouraging comments on my blog. I appreciate it very much.
More than the dance troop, it's the kids in the background shaking their bits that I love! :D
ReplyDeleteNice shot, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnd was the music good?
I have no belly to shake. I am just the humble photographer. So you want to see more of them. Will do.
ReplyDeleteHilda-The music was lilting gently, a little like myself after a beer.
:)
ReplyDeleteI loved reading about this fun shot.
looks like fun for all!!
ReplyDeleteshakin that ass lol! 'baggy jeans' and flat shoes that's what donatella versace would call ugly, but this shot is excellent. oh well, taken by a professional :-) happy tuesday!
ReplyDeleteYou should send this to the paper and show them how photos should be done. When was the last time you saw a decent photo in there?
ReplyDeleteGreat picture and lovely costumes. Belly dancing is in Christchurch quite popular as well We have several groups here
ReplyDeleteI love the costumes
ReplyDeleteI've heard it's great exercise, and looks like fun, too. If nothing else, those ladies must have a great time with the clothes and bells.
ReplyDeleteI guess we all need a bit of "shaking" at times :-) Lovely costumes.
ReplyDeletehi babooshka, thanks for youir comments in my blog!!be welcome to visit anytime you want, I hope mine we´ll be as popular as yours someday!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like fun. They say belly dancing is a great way to exercise but I would probably throw my back out trying it.
ReplyDeleteYeeeeeHawwwww! Everyone dance!
ReplyDeleteOh, shimmy, shimmy shake ém!!! Have you ever tried? It is great fun.
ReplyDeleteI do like your blog. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove the red trousers so vibrant. Looks like a good time in Ramsey. More of a party than sheep crossing a bridge. (that's what I did)
ReplyDeleteShe is having fun in her bright outfit amusing the crowd no doubt.
ReplyDelete«Louis» was (ahem) udderly fascinated with this post...
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like shimmyin' those shoulders! I used to do a little of the old belly dance myself but considered it a passtime for behind closed doors, in the company of like-minded and similarly clad women attending the same class in the same draughty hall! Hats off to these women for entertaining the crowds in Ramsay. Perfect shot for My World - what with belly dancing fast becoming a British tradition...?!
