An exotic dancer from the Persian Palace theme from the game I'm making. Belly dancing is really hard to pixel btw because you actually don't move your body very much, save your belly. Thus it easily looks kinda static an un-animated. But I added a little extra wiggle here and there to make it look more like a dance

Don't know why I didn't see your comment earlier?! Anyway... I actually tried doing a couple of different versions very close to what you did and in the end I decided to stay with this one. I agree with you though -kinda... Animation vise it looks better with more movement.
Great work, very funny animation. But why stop with just the belly! The whole body can move and I think it would look better. Quick edit: http://individual.utoronto.ca/lackey/pixel/edit/bellydancer3.gif
I know that in actual belly dancing the dancers mostly just use the belly (of course) but I think for the sake of a livelier animation we can exaggerate.
