Voi (Veil & Poi): Fireless Spinning for Belly Dancers

This DVD takes you through making your own veil poi, and dancing with them. Dana claims to be the inventor of veil poi, so it's reasonable to expect good instruction. Personally, I feel Michelle Joyce's DVD on Poi Spinning does a better job on the basics - if you're a beginner looking to learn from [...]

Lunar Bellydance – East Coast Tribal

This is another East Coast Tribal belly dance DVD by Sera Solstice.  It's very atmospheric but it's not all ambience - there is a solid class in there too, culminating in a choreography! The emphasis is on continuous flow, and the early sections of this DVD have a meditative quality - but don't gather too [...]

Tribal Revolution: Tribal Fusion Bellydance Performances

The camerawork here is not the greatest, but if you're into Tribal fusion belly dance, there's plenty of interest on this DVD, which aims to highlight the range of fusions out there. I certainly enjoyed the variety of different approaches and most of the dances were well executed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw9cmFi1tVI Only two bones to pick!  The [...]

Bellydance Underworld

Am I getting old?  With a few honorable exceptions, I found most of the routines on this DVD terminally boring. I really don't see what's "experimental" about dancer after dancer doing minor variations on Rachel Brice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr9q3lDfRXQ Diana Maria DellaStrega just about summed it up in her review on Amazon: "Stand in place, look really [...]

Tribal Fusion Belly Dance ~ Technical Foundation – Volume 1

Review This DVD, taught by sisters Nara and Jala, really means what it says - it covers the foundations of Tribal Fusion. If you've never done belly dance before, this is a good place to start because it teaches and explains the basics well - and there aren't many other Tribal Fusion DVD's suitable for [...]

Tribal Basics Vol. 8 FloorWork?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s-i2kJtOC0 This has the quality and depth of information you'd expect from a Fat Chance Belly Dance production. After an introduction, there's a yoga routine designed by troupe member and certified yoga instructor Anita Lalwani to warm up and strengthen the required muscle groups. Topics covered are:    how to descend and rise gracefully; a simple [...]

Cardio-Tribal Belly Dance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByHh0eHA3VQ This one piqued my curiosity! There are quite a number of belly dance workouts available on DVD, but this is the first Tribal (actually Tribal fusion) version I've come across.  It's by Robin Denise Johnson. It's a low-impact workout, so if you're fit, you won't even break a sweat - but it could be [...]

Chinese Silk Fan Fusion with Mirabai: A Belly Dancer’s Guide to Enthralling Fan Fusion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BeMImYTM3k What a find!  A DVD dedicated to fan veil, especially for belly dancers. Fan veils are not traditional belly dance props - they come from Asia.  So instructional DVD's on fan veil have been thin on the ground until now.  In fact I know of only one other, by Jehan, which I haven't seen.

Ali: A Tribal Fusion Choreography by Sahira

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGM0fAVGRGw If you liked Sahira's Arabian Spices (I did), you'll want to buy her second DVD, "Ali".  This tribal fusion choreography combines influences from Bhangra, West African, and Spanish dancing with ATS. The choreography is taught as 14 separate combinations, clearly explained so that it's easy to put them all together for the final routine. [...]
