Movie Reviews of Instructional Bellydance With Jillina - Level 1
Movie Review: a choreography dvd, not drills
Summary: 4 Stars
Many people who don't like this DVD say that there is no drilling and it goes too fast. This is not a drill DVD. The point is to learn the choreography, so you need to drill as a separate exercise. If it's going too fast, then stop the DVD and practice the parts you need on your own. If you are doing the moves correctly, you will get a good work out. And if you feel there's not enough stretching, stretch on your own beforehand. It seems that those who gave this DVD a bad review were quickly frustrated when they couldn't keep up and were expected to do things on their own.
Jillina shows you the basic stance, how to do each isolation on its own, then puts them together into combinations, then puts the combinations together into the full choreography. It's a very logical setup. The choreo is entirely made up of shimmies, snake arms, hip drops, hip bumps, mayas, camels, and turns. These are all beginner moves. She stands with her back to you so you can move on the correct side as she does, and there is a mirror to her front so you can also see the front angle. Don't get what people's gripe was about standing with her back to us. If she stood the other way you'd be doing everything backwards.
Jillina's personality and choreography is a matter of taste. However, she repeatedly says you should change it to reflect YOUR OWN STYLE. She is giving you a basic choreo which you can play with as you choose. If you're a beginner you do it as it's taught and as you learn more you can go back and change it.
Overall, I really liked the setup and production quality of this DVD. It's simple, classy, and user-friendly. To get the most out of it, you need to drill on your own and not be afraid to work on portions at a time. Don't expect it to be easy if you are a beginner, but it's worth it in the end.
