Movie Reviews of Belly By Sandra Vol 1: Isolations (Bellydance Instructional)
Movie Review: Excellent for the Beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
Belly by Sandra is an excellent start for the beginner or great as a supplement for class practice.
The volume I isolations covers much more than basic isolations. In almost every chapter, there is a section for different variations, with added level, weight changes, traveling or arm positions. There is also a practice sequence after each section, with cues. You drill each isolation to music, then at different speeds to help strengthen and incorporate the movements into your body (muscle memory).
Sandra's teaching style is clear and to the point. She uses comparisons, descriptions of musculature, and visual explanations/demonstrations to help the student learn & understand how to execute each isolation flawlessly.
The chapters included are:
Posture
Warm-up
Rib Cage Slides
Chest Circles
Hip Drops
Single Hip Drop with Leg Release
Vertical Figure 8's (both up & down)
Horizontal Figure 8's
I would definitely recommend Belly by Sandra.
In my opinion, this DVD was informative and fun it would be a sound-learning tool for the beginner and can be used as practice for the advanced beginner.
NOTE: This dvd covers a large portion of the basic isolations for bellydance, but not all of them. Coupled with the material on Sandra's Volume 2, should round out and complete your basic dance vocabulary.
