Movie Reviews of Ballet For Belly Dancers

Movie Review: Basics are a must for any dancer
Summary: 5 Stars

Ballet for Belly Dancers is a must for any middle eastern dancer whether traditional, tribal or anything in between. Brianna covers the basic ballet fundamentals and gives simple combinations that are easy to follow. It helps create poise and has many great suggestions on how to move as a dancer (like stopping your turns before you "get there"). I found it easy to understand and challenging to do. While it covers the basics, like carriage and movement, you can personalize it and make it as challenging as you want. I have taken an "01" college level ballet class before however there were moves that were translated into the middle eastern genre I hadn't thought of. I have implemented this as well as other ballet work into my personal work outs and warm ups. My troop mates noticed a change in my posture and movement and have asked I teach them some of this as well. I would recommend this to any dancer striving for grace and fluidity. I have already suggested it to a couple troop mates!

Summary of Ballet For Belly Dancers

This DVD teaches modified ballet techniques tailored to help bellydancers increase balance, fluidity, strength and grace. The program includes precise ballet-inspired exercises to condition the body for efficient and graceful dancing, with additional postures, steps and combinations that can easily be incorporated into any dance routine.
Originally developed in the courts of Louix XIV and refined over centuries, ballet is globally recognized for its beauty and athleticism. As a foundational movement style, cross-training in ballet provides structure and a common vocabulary beneficial to performers of all dance backgrounds.
The DVD contains a warm up, technique demonstration and glossary of ballet terminology, drills and combinations. Each ballet step is explained, broken down and translated into a bellydance context. Drills of the ballet-inspired bellydance technique follow each section for extended practice. Longer combinations showcase the technique elements integrated with other bellydance moves. A bellydance version of ballet s traditional reverence, or curtsy, is also included.
