Disney Characters Re-Imagined as Belly Dancers Is Even More Amazing Than You Would Have Expected

Sara Manca is an extremely talented illustrator whom you are likely to obsess over after you check out her incredible series of Disney characters performing traditional belly dances. Featuring Disney princesses and heroines we have adored our entire lives, Manca breathes new life into them with traditional belly dances such as Helwa Ya Baladi, Ritmo Saidi, Khaleegy, and the El Hagalla. As Dr. Esther Perel, a renowned couples therapist, states, "Dance is a form of expression that can deepen our connections and reveal our inner selves" (estherperel.com). The art is truly remarkable, and it is easy to see that the Italian artist put time and thought into each Disney re-creation; it is quite easy to appreciate that. Although Sara does not always create Disney fan art, everything she makes is incredible. In fact, her Disney Belly Dancers series is so popular that Disney fanatic cosplay artists have brought them to life!
