Product Description:
Bellydance Basics & Beyond is a 2 hr. 20 min. program designed to teach the fundamental movements of bellydance and encourage their practice in a wide range of dance combinations.Jenna's methodical presentation of bellydance basics begins with POSTURE the foundation on which dance movement is built. The BASIC ARMS section teaches you how to maintain and enhance a beautiful elongated body line through graceful positioning of the arms and hands.WARMUP includes select dance moves and dynamic stretches and is designed as a light total-body workout.The FOOTWORK section lays the foundation for traveling steps focusing on a number of patterns such as basic walk 2-step and triple step traveling and ways to change directions.ISOLATIONS of shoulders ribcage and hips are building blocks of bellydance movement. Jenna breaks down slides lifts drops arcs and sharp accents. Some of these elements are dance moves in their own right and others help to form compound moves.COMPOUND MOVES are the essential vocabulary of bellydance - circles undulations and figure 8s. Jenna's technique of building them from the smallest and most basic elements up ensures that they are performed with effortless grace. Next Jenna shows how to layer simple and compound moves on top of TRAVELING steps.PRACTICE COMBINATIONS offer five 5-minute practice sessions made from many exciting bellydance combinations. As you follow Jenna you can listen to the music together with her verbal cues or you can select the music-only option. This section offers a series of excellent technique drills and can be combined with the WARMUP for a fantastic 30-minute moderate workout. The last session contains stretches and can serve as a cooldown.System Requirements:Run Time: 90 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HEALTH/FITNESS UPC: 188883000109 Manufacturer No: 30122

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - BellyDance basics and beyond
I only have a year under my belt as a newbee dancer. I have done much reading and alot of video reviewing and by far this is the best DVD to reinforce the basic fundamentals which are the building blocks !! Jenna is cler and consise ! I've also learned new techniques and a better understand of teh ones I've learned in class! i highly reccommend this DVD to anyone! BRAVO!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent basic belly dance instruction.
This is great basic instruction. You will press pause a lot, because there is so much packed into this DVD.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I have never belly danced before

I also had lower back problems since January so I wanted to make sure that the video explaines everything in detail and extra careful about posture, meticulous about techniques. Well, I wasn't disappointed in Jenna's, I love it all the way. She breaks up every movement in such detailed segments that you have no room doing something wrong. However, I do agree with those reviewers who says that this video is not the flashiest; there are no costumes ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Technique, technique, technique

What's good about it, though, is that it teaches introductory bellydance vocabulary with very clear descriptions of what happens when (and where). Lots of other bellydance instructors teach technique well, but the best of them can be intimidating. (Some are too fast; some just have a lot more endurance than your average beginner student.)

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great DVD for uncoordinated beginners
The other reviews have covered many of the wonderful things about this DVD - 2 1/2 hours of instruction, separate clips on arms, hips, etc, practice sessions with voice & music or music alone, the instructor faces a mirror so you can see her front and back while she's teaching a movement. All that is great. What I love about this DVD is that I am uncoordinated, and she breaks the steps down so that I can focus on just one thing - not worrying about arm movements while trying to do hip movements. ...
