Movie Review: Artemis ISSS the Turkish Queen!
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent DVD, but boooring! If you can sit for hours and listen to her talk about Turkish style dance, then go for it. She is the best Turkish teacher around, well, except for maybe Eva Cernick....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.
Movie Review: Love it!

I'm relearning belly dancing at the almost age of 60. I really like the way the moves are presented. If I don't get too wiggle happy I can make it through the entire DVD and still move the next morning.Movie Review: Great intro to Turkish
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent introduction to Turkish Oriental dance from one of the best Turkish dancers and teachers in the US. Artemis begins with a brief history, including a discussion of Romany culture and video examples of the differences between Egyptian and Turkish-style dance. The DVD, which is easy to follow and very comprehensive, provides instruction on uniquely Turkish rhythms, pelvic and hip articulations, turns, and hand gestures. Artemis also includes some slow and fast combinations, a cute choreography, and a brief improvised performance. I have been taking beginner to intermediate-level dance classes with Artemis for about a year, and I still found lots of fresh material in this DVD. Both beginners and advanced dancers will benefit from it.
