Bélé (Belle Aire) Folk dance of Trinidad and Tobago. • The dance we now know as the bélé, known to the French then as the Bel Air, was performed by women during social events in the planters' great houses. The slaves who worked in or around these houses quickly copied the style and dress, and later added the African Congo influence to reflect strong Congo overtones. The bélé strongly reflects influences from African fertility dances. The term bélé also refers to a kind of drum found on Dominica, Martinique and St Lucia. The rhythmic quality of the bélé drums add spicy and yet subtle sensuality to the movements. There are more than 14 types of bélé dances including the Grand bélé and Congo bélé, with each performed to its own rhythms and chants.","styleRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":755,"styleRunExtensions":{"styleRunColorMapExtension":{"colorMap":[{"key":"USER_INTERFACE_THEME_DARK","value":4294967295},{"key":"USER_INTERFACE_THEME_LIGHT","value":4279440147}]}},"fontFamilyName":"Roboto"}]},"headerRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":755,"headerMapping":"ATTRIBUTED_STRING_HEADER_MAPPING_UNSPECIFIED"}]}},{"itemSectionRenderer":{"contents":[{"continuationItemRenderer":{"trigger":"CONTINUATION_TRIGGER_ON_ITEM_SHOWN","continuationEndpoint":{"clickTrackingParams":"CL4BELsvGAIiEwi9iqv5ouyLAxWYxEIFHWFNIWE=","commandMetadata":{"webCommandMetadata":{"sendPost":true,"apiUrl":"/youtubei/v1/next"}},"continuationCommand":{"token":"Eg0SC2NtVGJpcDg5MUxVGAYyJSIRIgtjbVRiaXA4OTFMVTAAeAJCEGNvbW1lbnRzLXNlY3Rpb24%3D","request":"CONTINUATION_REQUEST_TYPE_WATCH_NEXT"}}}}],"trackingParams":"CL4BELsvGAIiEwi9iqv5ouyLAxWYxEIFHWFNIWE=","sectionIdentifier":"comment-item-section","targetId":"comments-section"}}],"trackingParams":"CL0BELovIhMIvYqr-aLsiwMVmMRCBR1hTSFh"}},"secondaryResults":{"secondaryResults":{"results":[{"compactVideoRenderer":{"videoId":"TXr2rHqNP4E","thumbnail":{"thumbnails":[{"url":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TXr2rHqNP4E/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwE1CKgBEF5IVfKriqkDKAgBFQAAiEIYAXABwAEG8AEB-AHUBoAC4AOKAgwIABABGGUgSShDMA8=
