5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Floorwork, November 2, 2009

This review is from: Flawless Floorwork: The Lost Art of Belly Dance Floorwork (DVD)

As someone who originally learned to dance back in the early 70's, I'm glad to see floor work make a comeback.

First there is a pilates-based strength workout which is great for core and upper body. I would have liked to see more emphasis on building strength in the legs as well.

Ruby gives a large enough number of moves that you will be able to create a flow for your own music. She demonstrates several ways to get up and down from the floor. She even has a dramatic drop that looks a lot less dangerous than the classic turkish drop. Next there are two "combos" which are actually sequences or flows for you to adapt to your own music, one relatively easy, one a little more advanced and dramatic.

She also offers a 10-minute warm-up that you can do in costume for those who perform. No getting on the floor!

Ruby is a lovely dancer to watch and she definitely vibes with the slow music.

This dvd would be great for anyone interested in American Classic bellydance and could be adapted for tribal-fusion. Not good for those with weak or damaged knees.

5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD is a MUST HAVE!, December 1, 2009

I can sum it up in one word - WOW! This DVD is fantastic and is a MUST HAVE for any dancers video library. Ruby has proved to be a master instructor and her dancing is exquisite. And on top of being absolutely amazing, she is such a down-to-earth and generous instructor. I would have bought this DVD for the Pilates-based workout alone, and after going through that extensive warm-up, there was instruction enough to fill a 3-hour workshop! What I love about the instructional section is that it's so thorough, offering dancers clear postural alignment, and safe progressions to more advanced movements. And the dance movements and combinations are so much fun to do, my personal favorite is the "Hip Spin." I especially valued the 10-minute back stage warm up, and as if that wasn't generous enough there was a costume tutorial as an added bonus! This is one DVD that I will go back to again and again and is a permanent favorite in my video library.
