Movie Reviews of Secrets of the Stage - A Performance Course for Belly Dancers by Michelle Joyce (Vol 1)
Movie Review: Solid advice for coping with stage fright & giving your best performance
Summary: 5 Stars
This video has solid advice for those who are beginning a career in performing belly dancing. The narrator has a friendly, down-to-earth style, and a clear speaking voice. I particularly enjoyed the segments where performers told us in their own words about their struggles with stage props, stage fright, and their solutions for various performance issues---these segments were voiced-over their actual performances. The segment with the performer dancing on goblets was particularly enlightening for me. The segment of relaxation exercises at the end would be useful to those who have issues with stage fright. This DVD has good photography and played fine on my DVD player, but I was not able to get it to play on my computer. I don't know whether this was because of the DVD or because of something quirky with my computer.Movie Review: Very Helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun dvd to watch. I learned a lot from the various performers that were interviewed and showcased. All of the dancers were beautiful performers and very generous with their tips. Michelle also has a very nurturing, upbeat energy which I appreciated very much.Movie Review: Another helpful tool form Michelle Joyce
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this DVD! In addition to exposing me to some very talented dancers with whom I was previously unfamiliar, I glean those performers' perspectives on choreographing, listening to music, trouble-shooting while performing, approaches to creating stage presence. . .all while watching their performances! When I have a performance coming up, I'll often play this DVD while ironing, grooming, getting ready for bed during the week prior to the gig. Even if I can't watch it, I find listening to the dancers to be very supportive and encouraging. As each performance begins, the dancer's name and the name of the musical piece and the main artist appears. Identifying the music and musicians is important to me, and this way I'm also introduced to some great music! Movie Review: Love It!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD after working with Joyce's "Pop, Lock and Shimmy" and after reading Amanda Niehaus' Amazon review. I found this DVD just as inspirational and useful, and wanted to give it the hard-earned 5 Stars. Movie Review: Useful but a bit pricy
Summary: 3 Stars
This DVD has a lot of very useful information. It helps you to get prepared physically and psychologically before performing on stage. But I think the price should be lower.
