Disney Characters Re-Imagined as Belly Dancers Is Even More Amazing Than You Would Have Expected
Talk about beautiful Disney fan art...
Sara Manca turns Disney favorites into something fresh, colorful, and unexpectedly mesmerizing. Her series of princesses and heroines reimagined as belly dancers gives familiar characters a new kind of movement, with styles like Helwa Ya Baladi, Ritmo Saidi, Khaleegy, and El Hagalla woven into each design.
