Movie Reviews of Turkish Style Belly Dance
Movie Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent instructional dvd on Turkish style bellydance. The instructor Elizabeth Artemis Mourat seems to have a lot of respect and enthusiasm for this subject manner. So far this is tmy favorite dvd on Turkish Oriental Dance.
One special feature is a mini documentary about the differences and similarities between Turkish and Egyptian styles of Oriental Dance and their evolution. I found this introduction helpful as I have primarily studied Egyptian and American styles of bellydance, so the comparison approach worked well for me.
The instructor also does an excellent job of explaining the slow and fast 9/8 rhythms that are popular in Turkisha and American styles of dance. I was especially interested in her discussion of the similarities and differences between "Romany 9/8" and "Caberet 9/8".
She then teaches a variety of isolotions or moves and combinations. Her instruction is clear and engaging and the moves are energetic and fun!
She concludes with an excellent performance that demonstrates the passion and energy of Turkish Oriental Dance. Overall, the dvd presentation is very well organized, flows well and the production quality is high. This dvd is suitable for dancers of most levels except possibly very experienced Turkish style dancers.
