Movie Reviews of Tribal Fusion - Yoga Isolations & Drills for Bellydance
Movie Review: Does what it says on the tin.
Summary: 5 Stars
People appear to either love this DVD or hate it.
I think it's less love/hate than have unreasonable expectations or don't have unreasonable expectations. Alot of the reviews on this site are infuriating to me because they completely miss the point.
This DVD contains BASIC DRILLS, ISOLATIONS AND YOGA POSES which will, if practiced regularly, improve your dance skills.
It is not a performance DVD, nor does it claim to be.
It will not teach you to dance like Rachel, nor does it claim it will.
Rachel Brice does not dance ATS, nor does she claim to.
What this DVD does claim to do is provide you with basic drills that will help you gain flexibility and core strength, and refine the movements that you learned from your own bellydance instructor. And it does a fine job at that.
I am a beginning bellydancer, at an intermediate fitness level, and I find it challenging. Luckily, the workout is divided into three different options, each one adding movements onto the preceding practices. Just so people know what to expect, the following is a breakdown of what is on the DVD:
The 15 minute practice includes:
- Half Sun Salutes
- Locust Pose
- Hip Locks on the Up
- Hipwork on the down
- Chest Lifts
- Undulations up to down (Body Roll)
- Cat and Cow poses
The 30 minute practice does a full sun salute with lunges and adds to the 15 minutes practice the following moves:
- Chest drops
- Undulations down to up (Reverse Body Roll)
- Pelvic locks front
- Interior hip circles
- Spread leg forward fold
The 45 minute prace includes everything above, except the hipwork on the down (I'm not sure, but this may be an error on the DVD, because the practice really clocks in at about 40 minutes). Added for this practice is:
- Double Chest locks
- Rib Cage Figure Eight
- 5 minutes of Corpse pose (with floaty clouds on the screen, and a doumbek drumming at about heart-beat speed)
To wrap up -
This DVD does what it says it will, and does it well.
No more, no less.
If you are looking for a shortcut to make you dance like Rachel, keep dreaming. If you want some exercises which, with lots (and lots and lots) of hard work, will set you out on the right path, I think this is a great choice. It's also about half the price (or less) of most Bellydance DVDs so that's a bonus as well.
Comments regarding the dance style, performance editing, and other irrelevant details are mainly catty and completely missing the point. Please disregard them, or you may miss out on a very useful and well produced tool.
