Movie Reviews of Bellydance with Zils

Movie Review: A Nice Addition to Have
Summary: 4 Stars

What I liked:

Elsa encourages us to be ambidextrous by not using a leading hand.

Elsa names and teaches 7 different patterns to the drum with various combinations.

What I didn't like:
Elsa is not facing the mirror with her back towards me (my pet peeve) which made it difficult to follow especially since she is not using a leading hand.

The number patterns that she teaches stays on the screen for only a short period of time.

I also have Michelle Joyce's Killer Ziller DVD and they both will enhance your dancing with the zills. Both have different things to offer.


Movie Review: Just what I needed
Summary: 4 Stars

I was hoping to find a DVD that provided good instruction on Zil work and have found it here. Elsa presents the Zils and accompanying examples of dance to help transition the beginner into the feel of the rhythms.

More than a simple right-left-right, Elsa teaches you the advantage of listening and interpreting the beat so that you need not be tied to coordinating the hand and footwork. This system is simple and joyful. The doumbek of Raquy Danziger is amazing as well.

Movie Review: Bellydance with Zils
Summary: 4 Stars

I think this DVD is a great tool
in learning zils to add to a bellydancer's
profile.

I liked the way Ms. Leandros broke down the different
rhythms-baledi, saidi, etc. and then accompanied it
with a short choreography.

My favorite segement was the intro where she & Raquy
demonstated zills vs. drum syncopations-very helpful!

Movie Review: Great for beginners!
Summary: 4 Stars

If you've never played zills or have little experience this is a great instructional DVD for the basics. She shows you the basic rhythms that are used most often. She is not the best dancer but is very skilled with the zills. This is far too basic for the experienced or advanced ziller.

Movie Review: Zils and Drums
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm a beginner so this DVD was a bit too advanced. Great demonstration though on drumming and zil techniques by Elsa Leandros and Raquy Danzinger. I will definately keep for future referece when becoming more advanced.
