Movie Reviews of Bellydance with Zils
Movie Review: Great way to start getting in better shape while learning about culture and dance!
Summary: 5 Stars
People who want to workout and maybe learn how to play a little new music might want to invest in a copy of Bellydance with Zils. This dance, music, and performance viewing DVD is a great way to start getting in better shape while learning about culture and dance.
Watching belly dance and musical performances is a great aspect of this DVD and even if you are not in the mood for dance lessons or fitness, taking a look at these might inspire you to get up and start moving. Drummers Raquy Danzinger and Brian Carter join star/instructor Elsa Leandros and play some traditional Middle Eastern beats on a drum called the doumbek, as Elsa demonstrates dancing and using the zils (finger cymbals) in both coordination and contrast of the drum beats.
Elsa is a methodical yet fun instructor, and though she does speak with an accent it is not so heavy that it cannot be understood and tends to add to the special cultural tone of this how to belly dance video. Elsa covers basic belly dance steps that both beginners and advanced students of dance fitness can use, and goes into great detail on exactly how to place the zils properly on the fingers. She encourages people to dance simply while using the zils, which in my experience actually heightens the cardiovascular workout.
Unlike some of her sister belly dance and music instructors, Elsa does not simply demonstrate a move and then go on to the next. She is great at repetition without making it boring, which is a treat when it comes to try to do three things at once: exercise, learn special dance moves, and get a little more musical at the same time.
Other Sections Rating Excellent
A performance of just Elsa dancing with the zils is very moving and inspiring, and begs the question of how long it takes to dance and play the finger cymbals with such fluid precision.
For those ready to try their own dance and finger cymbals combination without Elsa on the screen, there is a "music-only" section that allows the now-experienced dancer and zil artist to practice and see how much they really know.
