Movie Reviews of The Art of Exotic Dancing for Everyday Women: "DEVELOP YOUR ROUTINE"
Movie Review: Stripping for Morons w/horrible excessive/drowning camerawork
Summary: 2 Stars
First off is an annoying 45 second intro before the menu that you cannot fst fwd through at all. Even from the extras or chapter search, every time you hit menu, you're stuck.
INTRO 4 min: w/Leah, the author/producer, giving the usual marketing spiel & how the dvd is constructed w/her teaching one of the basic students, SUZY, a recap of the core moves, to put a routine together & then 2 of the class teachers, Coralissa & Molly & their story showing you their style.
CORE MOVES 3 min: recap of: walking (step, drag, step..) eye contact (confidence is key), hip rolls (reg, revolving/turning, while squatting, while kneeling, floor work (poses/transitions of arching your back, lowering your legs, stretching around)
MEET SUZY: 2 min.
TRANSITIONAL MOVES: 6 min of 1: hands: using hands to back/forth toward person, raise hands, hands to hips, hands to knees, hands all over your body. 2 & 3: Strike a pose, throw head around, tilting your head 4: Posing - your hands on yourself lead their eyes. 5: crawling on the ground
SUZY 2 min: more about Suzy
THE LESSON 14 min.: choose music you like, walking (FOUR MIN), hip rolls, model or 3 step turn, kneeling hip roll & spreading & closing knees, some floor work, which shoes, not much else.
HER ROUTINE 4 min: watching SUZY try her best, but the camera is all over the place trying to make her look better
CORALISSA 13 min: her talking (she's a prof. dancer) & distracting camera effects for 7 min. then her dancing for 3 min the routine w/such moves as lifting her leg over her head while standing (where do we learn that? HAH!). She's good, but athletic, complex moves always look good. 3 more min of her giving more tips on attire, music.
MOLLY 7 min: 5 min of her taking & excessive camera work & 2 min of dance. There's a bonus of transition moves taught by Molly such as, "Oh, look a wall or pole to slide down it.. hey watch out for SPLINTERS!!! Oh, you can do hip circles to it..."
This makes a total of 59 min including all the excessive talking, just like the first one. This DVD could have easily been condensed to 20-30 min which would have hit home better like a real class.
The extra special camera effects & camera moving here, there & everywhere was VERY distracting & kept you from seeing. Maybe to cover up for lack of content & even somewhat boring dancing from the "experts," ehhhh???
Only buy this if you are VERY shy & need woman talking & reiterating the same thing over & over & over & OVER & OVER again in a drawn out fashion.
Try something more sensual like "Art of Sensual Dance" by Susan Breemer, or more fun & more aerobics like Jeff Costa's Cardio Striptease (Either of his 2 dvds), Carmen Electra's aerobic striptease (Disc 1 is best), Urban Striptease Aerobics (Disc 1 has better moves), or Felinity: First Step.
