Movie Reviews of Fluid Precision - Contemporary Tribal Bellydance
Movie Review: Welcome addition to my tribal fusion collection
Summary: 5 Stars
What you'd think of this video depends on where you are in your dance journey. If you're an absolute beginner at dance - find something else first. If you're an absolute beginner at belly dance - work at the muscle control for a bit first. If you're new to tribal, use this with one that spends more time on the basics and has an easier warm up. I really think this video is, however, just right for me. I'm a beginner too, but one who's been drilling movements and doing some yoga for a while now. I'm also someone who's hooked on tribal fusion style exercises and combinations. I already have thirteen videos in the tribal style alone, but am perfectly happy to acquire more of them. The exercise drills give me more variety to work with each day so I don't get bored, they keep my muscles in good shape to do the "regular" belly dancing I also work at, and the combinations add to a repertoire I absolutely treasure. And that's the perspective I'm coming from.
The editorial description and the video preview pretty much show you what's going on here. I actually like some of my other tribal videos (from the same stable, incidentally) better, but that doesn't mean this one doesn't have something unique. If you don't have any other tribal fusion videos, I'd recommend considering Tribal Fusion NYC, East Coast Tribal and Contemporary Belly Dance and Yoga Conditioning - all also from World Dance New York. What this video brings, apart from spicy new combinations, is a solid, challenging yoga workout. It includes some poses you don't see done in dance videos so often. These have to be done pretty carefully too. The other unique thing is the interesting level drops and floorwork used. In fact, there are two separate floorwork combinations altogether - and that's another thing that the other videos don't have. Because of the level drops and floorwork, being very, very careful or even avoiding if you have knee problems. Come to think of it, the selection of yoga poses also involve the knees.
The instruction on some of the other tribal fusion videos is warmer, the isolations are taken up more comprehensively, they're even drilled on some of them -- but this video has its own value to offer. It has the next level in yoga warm ups, very nice and challenging combinations, and floorwork as an extra.
A word has to be said about this music. It's been written specially for Kassar. Songs for Kassar is an interesting creation from Pete List. You can check him out at petelist.com.
Tribal fusion is always stunning. Even after I've seen so much of it, I find it jaw droppingly amazing each time. The Kassar combinations are no less.
