OT: Bow before your Lamia Queen (I know who I want for Christmas)

Art Historians would be out of a job if it weren't necessary to deconstruct art.

I would say the origins of what she is doing are more American, and the American gaze upon the Orient (not to wax too postcolonial here). Picasso was heavily influenced by African Art (at least for a time), but I don't think most would insist the 'origins' of Picasso are in African Art. Similarly, when an African artist uses western objects or influences in their art, few would claim that that art has an origin in the West.

If we just focus on the concreteness of her movements though, she uses illusion and arm and hand movements far more than Bellydancing ever did. Those are directly from Urban eletronica and rave scenes; some say born out of the necessity to dance in tightly packed spaces (like a rave) where there wasn't so much room to move about.
