Title: The Temple of BLAH
Product review: I'm somewhere in the intermediate range of bellydancing. I've been doing it for about a year and have taken a class and done a couple DVD's. I am, by no means, an expert, but I am a fairly good dancer by nature. And I don't care much for this one.1. The narration is useless. The ONLY way to follow along is visually. The narrarator will commonly tell you to go into some pose, or do some move, but she's using a name like, "temple pose" without explaining it.2. There is no slow break-down of the moves. I can see how a highly experienced dancer might get bored by that part, and therefore, enjoy the lack of direction in the DVD. But some of the moves can harm your back and neck and there is no attempt made to teach these moves in a safe way. I call that sloppy and irresponsible.3. Eh. Nothing moved me. It wasn't horrible, but it seemed very low budget.This is definitely an exercise DVD and not an instructional dance DVD. It was a disappointing gift, but at least I didn't pay for it.
