The Art of Belly Dance: Arabian Sands
I had the joy of meeting & taking class with Paulina on Arabian Nights @ Sea Cruise in Sept 2009. So I was very delighted to to find her DVD. I knew that Paulina was an excellent teacher, this DVD does live up to my expectations.
The lessions are very basic so if you are a beginner you will really appreciate the movements broken down into sections with ample time for practicing each move. For the advanced dancer it works well for warm up and technique reminder. Then move into the work-out section with Jindra who puts it all together with fun choreography that is easy to follow.
Moves covered on the DVD are:
- Horizontal Figure8
- Twisting Shimmy
- Hip Drop
- Hand Ripples
- Upper Body Slides
- Beautiful Arms
