Editorial Reviews

Denver Post - June 1999
Channel surfers probably know her best, but now you too can learn the techniques of cable access TV's dancing queen. Joynan the veiled grandmother who stars in her own local show has put some of her best moves on a new video, "The Art of Belly Dancing." It includes three performances by Joynan and six instructional sections that cover everything from basic steps to finger cymbal methods. Aimed at beginners, Joynan also bills her video as an exercise tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars To each his own, July 20, 2000
By A Customer
I have read all of the reviews and I guess everyone has a right to their opinion, so here is mine. This video is clear and concise in it's instruction. Joynan has a very open and easy to follow teaching technique. She obviously has a lot of experience. The three performances clearly show her individual style and technique and are an inspiration for beginners. I have six belly dancing videos in my collection so far and this one is by far the best. I'll buy anything else that she puts out in a second.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great performances! Inspiring & Challenging!, July 21, 2000
By A Customer
Finally! A belly dance video worth adding to my collection. This video has challenging moves for all levels and performances that are inspiring and entertaining. I have purchased three other belly dance videos (one from Amazon) and was a bit disappointed but The Art of Belly Dancing was worth the purchase and I look forward to an advanced video from Joynan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great dance routines, May 28, 2001
By WildOrchid (APO, AP United States) - See all my reviews
I like all the dance routines but my favorite is the special dance. I was in awe with the movements and just uttered one word after watching it and that was "WOW".I actually ended up showing it to a friend who doesn't have any interest in bellydancing.Joynan also showed basic movements in all areas, from hips circles, arms movements, undulations etc. But if you intend to use it as workout video you will be dissappointed bec. it's not meant for that.In between showing the steps and putting it together is her dance routines.This video will be helpful if you want to use it as guide to creating your own routine. She also included the use of the cymbals and double veils on her dance routines. Joynan is an inspiring figure in how to age gracefully, she looks great for being in the fifties and my desire to learn more about belly dancing intensifies just so I could look great when I reach that age. But I don't use it that often bec. I'm into working out and I use Shamira's senseous workout, The goddess workout and The Badisha's slim down video workout.Those videos will give you a good bellydance workouts!

I'm not sure if I saw the same exact video, but it
was one in the Joynan series. The music is so awful
it almost makes the video unbearable to watch. Read more
