2.0 out of 5 stars nope. don't think so, May 28, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rania's Advanced Choreography: Drum Solo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

For what it's worth, I have over 20 years dance experience, as a professional dancer and teacher in both modern and belly dance. I'm usually not one to submit a review that's so out of sync with the majority, but I have to wonder if I was watching the same video as the rest of you!

I found this choreography fussy and complicated but by no means advanced. I was very disappointed, especially for the price.I got more good material from Jillina in less time and for far less money.

I was also unimpressed with Rania as a dancer. She seemed stiff and self-conscious. She did not fully finish her movements, nor did she have grace and flow.

For a truly advanced drum solo get jamila al waheed or suzanna delvecchio!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth It!, March 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rania's Advanced Choreography: Drum Solo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am extremely pleased with her latest video. Her instructions and demonstrations are very clear and simple to follow. I found this the perfect tape to take my dancing to the next level. It's also a great workout!

The only thing that I was disappointed in was the bonus footage at the end of the tape. The sound quality was very bad.

This is definately worth the purchase if you're ready to move up to the next level in belly dance! Not for beginners!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed!, June 8, 2004

This review is from: Rania's Advanced Choreography: Drum Solo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a belly dancer and performer, I bought this video for a new choreography, but was exceptionally disappointed. When I first saw the cover and read the reviews I expected more than what I paid for. The quality is extremely bad, there's hardly any lighting or sound, and to top it off there is no camera angles. It seems as if it is a home video. The choreography was nothing out of the ordinary. Her movements were rigid and inflexible. The outfit she picked for her performance was classless (there is a fine line between this exotic dance and that of a stipper).And I'm not even going to mention anything about her bonus performance (except that the stage wasn't even set for her). There's more to bellydancing than just turkish hip shimmies, the choreography needed the more mysterious undulating moves. But I'm giving it one star because I got a good workout. If you want to learn belly dancing moves, I suggest you skip this video and I recommend you buy veena and neena's mystic dance (which is around the same price). Overall the video is missing the essentials of the art of belly dance.
