Negative Positive
Title: Expected more
Review: Shantell Powell's review is very thorough, however, I have to deduct points for the very poor production values compared to other instructional DVDs at similar prices. The amount of actual demonstration and information in this DVD is very small in contrast to the extensive ren faire footage, much of which adds little to the teaching. The instructors themselves, in particular Cory Zamora, are good and pass on useful information. One can condense the useful material in this DVD to about 20 minutes at the very most--helpful, but really not worth scanning through the whole DVD more than once. The few demo sections at least are shot so that the viewer can see the entire body. I really expected more, particularly based on the previous reviews. I own about 25+ instructional bellydance DVDs. This one is probably at the bottom of the stack. I really wanted to like it more but I have to be fair.
Is the review positive or negative?
