Movie Reviews of Tribal Fusion Bellydance - Pop & LockMovie Review: A belly dance buffet Summary: 5 Stars
My experience with this program was terrific! I enjoyed learning the elements of "pop" "and lock" and all its variations from this program. I have been intensely working on the choreography which is so much fun. The entire contents, background music, the choreography selection, and the combinations that make up this fabulous modern fusion were very well detailed and brought forth.
This instructor welcomes the viewer with confidence and an impressive background in dance, quickly drawing the viewer in. The lesson plan is superbly planned out. The menu options are usuer friendly and will direct you exactly where you are in the program.
To begin: Intense Yoga warm-up with sun salutations
Level one technique: prepares the upper body with chest pops, circles shoulder locks, broken snake arms, liquid style arms and hands
Some of the lower body movements include piston hip locks, abdomen tucks and release, pelvic squares, downward mayas, etc.
Level two is quite simply a challenging belly dance buffet. Delicious moves such as: arm waves, snake arms, shoulder locks, variations of chest circles, chest pops, upper body undulations garnished and layered on chest shimmies, very challenging but lovely!!!
The lower body isolations in this section are layered on hip shimmies such as: omi circles, figure of 8's, pelvic squares, piston hips abdominal tucks and releases; then upper body isolations are layered on hip shimmies!
The drill section is awesome, continuous and directed at the muscle groups that must respond to the choreography to come. The footwork is next, "floats" such as "zig zag", and "moonwalk". Plenty of repetitions and well broken down for ease of learning and yes get ready to layer upper and body moves as well.
Upon viewing the choreography demonstration, I couldn't wait to join in. The music is "CHA CHA" by Baltan Beat Box, it is upbeat and modern and there are about nine combinations to learn. It is totally realistic and attainable as it is perfectly exemplified.
The entry level dancer may find this program difficult. The pops and locks are intense..I felt the warm up is very disciplined and I mentally prepared myself for it. At a time, I felt as I was in belly dance boot camp? I felt that I left a yoga class and stepped into Pilates, and finally belly dance. HOWEVER......being a serious dancer, I am familiar with the discipline required to prepare the body for the intense moves and layering, at the same time improving precision. Good things don't always come easy.
Because I mostly seek programs that are deeply rooted in the basics, the rewards from this program are bountiful. This great technique elaborates the basics, transtions into advanced moves and the choreography adds the finesse.
