Movie Review: A perfect blend..
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so excited to receive my copy of The Belly Dance Rhythms Workout!
If you have been searching for a great recipe to stir up a drum solo, here, it is! This program doubles as a workshop in rhythms while abundant in constructive ingredients to get your entire body flowing in accented moves and high energy movement.
The welcome section offers a great concept of weight loss. The program is also presented as a dance fitness program which is not cardio or aerobic in nature, yet it's accented moves will help burn calories and promote weight loss. Raquey includes a segment on identifying drum pattern structures using low and high sounds. The key ingredient to interpreting and performing a successful drum solo is to understand the rhythmss.
Because of the extensive wealth of information in this program,I have been reviewing it for several weeks.I did not only want to write about its contents but rather the end results and what I have gained from it personally.
As you enter program you will find it very carefully thought out and executed, beginner friendly and challenging enough for the seasoned dancer who wants to vary moves and add new ingredients. Here, the rhythms of a primary and bass drummer are performed live, and Raquey teaches this segment in identifying drum patterns in high and low sounds. For fun, I incorporated zils using the rhythm patterns, while learning the moves. Try that for a challenge!
Offered here are the most popular belly dance rhythms: baladi, maksoum, masmoudi, ciftetelli, and saidi which are dissected for beginner and intermediate students each with four combination variations. This section is a great resource of rhythms, and the perfect guide to your drum solo creation.
Neon's lesson plan carefully illustrates every combination, rhythm, offered in two tutorials, beginner and intermediate with varying speeds, while the two professinal drummers work alongside. It is easy to follow along as Neon dances each beat of the drum with her body. The tutorial section is attention grabbing as Neon pops out of fantastic surreal backdrops in vivid color and detailed computer graphics.
You may choose to learn from this program with voice cues or music options only. Neon's grace and energy has you joining right in articulating the hips with accents, varying chest moves, hops, grapevine, and so much more.
I have been using the program to shed the holiday pounds and have built stamina and endurance while having fun and increasing my vocabulary in dance. I dropped the extra pounds that kept me out of my favorite jeans while toning my abs which got a work out!
In my experience, this program is fantastic in every aspect it represents; a very enjoyable, high energy dance workout, a priceless learning tool as a rhythms workshop!
My personal opinion:
Before viewing this program, please take the time to internalize the welcome presented by Neon. Her concept on weight loss and muscle tone is directed at a continuous flow of movement because it simply burns more calories from fat. For some, hard impact aerobic programs tend to be short lived simply because they are too rigid and not appealing to return to. I have found this to be true for myself, and in my classes, and the luscious belly dance fitness program proved it well for us.
Belly dance is an elegant, sensual, and exclusive dance. It requires discipline in order to engrain. Once muscle memory is engrained the body will respond quickly and it is mesmerizing to watch. Belly dance is multi facted and the drum solo is one of the most fun and fitness programs that can bring great results. This program is not only a work out but is instructional and wide spectrum. It is easily one of the best workshops; I have ever attended without having to leave my home.
Since this program is both a workout and instructional here is what I gathered. I recommend for beginners :
The tutorial section is very carefully planned for execution of moves. Neon has painstakingly taken the time to organize 40 dance combinations and divided them into a beginners section, and progressing into more advanced movement. Its your choice to learning with voice cues or simply folloing along while just watching and listening to the drumming. Each pattern has a 4 different sets of combinations that will blend into a choreography when finalized. Amazing is the way Neon integrates staccato and fluid movement.
