5.0 out of 5 stars Four Yard Veil, August 28, 2008

This review is from: Fabulous Four Yard Veils with Shoshanna - Belly Dance (DVD)

In this video, Shoshanna has explained everything well, using
different analogies to illustrate what she's doing. To assist her are
two other dancers using different types and sizes of veils so you can
see how differently each veil behaves. For the more complex moves, the
veil is dropped so you can focus fully on the move itself and see what
you need to do. With each move taught, Shoshanna gives tips and tricks
and talks about timing and moving through space with your veil. She
also touches on which veil she thinks works well with the move she is
teaching.

There is a troubleshooting section in which Shoshanna talks about what
you need to do to prevent and get out of mistakes. She gives advice on
getting comfortable with your veil. And she advises you to actually
practice mess ups and learn when to just let go of the veil.

After the technique section there are 2 combination's using everything you have learned. The music that she has chosen to use is very likable and suited for using a veil. At the end Shoshanna does a lovely performance with her 4 yard veil. The DVD is 1 hour and 20 minutes long.

I feel that this DVD is reasonably priced and that I will enjoy
working with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars For all types of veils, August 24, 2008

This review is from: Fabulous Four Yard Veils with Shoshanna - Belly Dance (DVD)

Though Shoshanna does teach with a 4-yard veil (and give tips about handling long veils), the information on this DVD can be used with a variety of veils, as demonstrated by her assistants, who follow along using shorter ones, or circular ones.

The DVD is well structured and chaptered. It includes a warm up (with concentration on warming up the shoulders, arms and wrists); a description of veils of different sizes, shapes and materials; four basic moves, nine intermediate ones and three more difficult ones; troubleshooting tips; two combination sequences basically to provide practice with transitions; and group and solo performances. Information is provided about the music she uses.

Shoshanna is very comfortable in front of the camera and gives clear and complete instructions. If you're interested in veil work, you should definitely add this DVD to your collection.
