Movie Reviews of Bellydance Basics and Beyond: Technique for a Solid Foundation

Movie Review: A must have!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a must have for anyone that is interested in belly dancing. If your looking for weightloss or just wanting to learning the dance! As we all know posture is everything in dance and I like that Jenna reminds you of it continuously. If your like me and are not too good at keeping yourself in good posture, that by itself is a good workout! On the menu screen she has EVERYTHING broken down (her intro, posture & arms, warmup, etc.). You can tell she really knows her stuff and really explains everything well! Its like having a personal dance instructor in you own livingroom!
I also like that in her dance routine with her students, that you don't have to already be a skinny risqu? looking girl to learn to bellydance. Even though you may not be the thinnest, you can still dance and look attractive!
I highly recomend this DVD! It really is a total body workout!

Bellydance Basics & Beyond is a 2 hr. 20 min. program designed to teach the fundamental movements of bellydance and encourage their practice in a wide range of dance combinations.Jenna's methodical presentation of bellydance basics begins with POSTURE the foundation on which dance movement is built. The BASIC ARMS section teaches you how to maintain and enhance a beautiful elongated body line through graceful positioning of the arms and hands.WARMUP includes select dance moves and dynamic stretches and is designed as a light total-body workout.The FOOTWORK section lays the foundation for traveling steps focusing on a number of patterns such as basic walk 2-step and triple step traveling and ways to change directions.ISOLATIONS of shoulders ribcage and hips are building blocks of bellydance movement. Jenna breaks down slides lifts drops arcs and sharp accents. Some of these elements are dance moves in their own right and others help to form compound moves.COMPOUND MOVES are the essential vocabulary of bellydance - circles undulations and figure 8s. Jenna's technique of building them from the smallest and most basic elements up ensures that they are performed with effortless grace. Next Jenna shows how to layer simple and compound moves on top of TRAVELING steps.PRACTICE COMBINATIONS offer five 5-minute practice sessions made from many exciting bellydance combinations. As you follow Jenna you can listen to the music together with her verbal cues or you can select the music-only option. This section offers a series of excellent technique drills and can be combined with the WARMUP for a fantastic 30-minute moderate workout. The last session contains stretches and can serve as a cooldown.System Requirements:Run Time: 90 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HEALTH/FITNESS UPC: 188883000109 Manufacturer No: 30122
