Review: Great Yoga, Great Technique, Great for All Styles of Belly Dance - I would like to say first that the yoga on this 2 DVD set alone is worth it. Brice includes 3 different yoga sessions. First there is a regular yoga practice for belly dance, then she has one specifically to help you with back-bends and then she includes a cool down yoga practice so after you are done exercising you can stretch and cool off. The finishing yoga practice is included on both DVDs so whichever DVD you have been using to practice you don't have to switch disks to go to the cool-down section. Following the yoga included has really improved my sleep a lot. I'm one of those people that normally takes a while to fall to sleep every night and I sometimes suffer from insomnia. But, after a few days of yoga I started noticing that I would fall asleep at night instantly and even if I woke back up in the middle of the night I would still go back to sleep quickly. I think the deep controlled breathing that is taught has been mostly to blame because I find it easier to clear my head at night before going to sleep and just relax and let go of stress and everything that's on my mind. So I haven't had any more sleep problems since I've been doing this yoga nearly every day. Although Brice teaches the tribal fusion style of belly dance anyone wishing to learn any type of belly dancing can benefit from this DVD. This is the first real formal training I've had in belly dance (besides training in floor work). I sat down just to watch Rachel Brice do the drills and isolations a few times and now that I understand what she is doing better I can follow along with her. I like to warm up with her isolation drills and then I move on to dance by myself remembering what I have learned. Knowing the correct posture and the different ways to isolate muscles groups allows me to create my own dance and movements and do my own thing. I don't really follow her choreography but it gives me an idea of how to start doing my own footwork and has helped me feel comfortable in dancing. Of course, I don't dance for anyone else but I love to do it as a work out at home and knowing proper technique helps me get the best results from belly dancing. In the first section of the first DVD she quickly goes through your 10-step dance posture and in every section where she does the drills she makes sure to remind you to stand in 10-point dance posture and she makes sure to exaggerate the way you are supposed to stand that way you will get it (like taking her hands and showing you to lift the ribcage and make sure your lower belly is lifted, etc...) I'm not a huge fan of the tribal style. I feel that most of the dancers are a little too overdressed and the set a little too gothic for my taste. But, I love the smooth movements that this style creates. Especially for those dancers who love dancing to music such as Solace knowing how to create smooth movements can help you dance to any style of music. And, of course, what Brice teaches here in this DVD can help you even if you want to dance to traditional style belly dance music or some Egyptian style drums such as Hossam Ramzy as well. Rachel also has a small section where explains the technique to do a beautiful and safe backbend. I found that listening to her explain the technique also helped me do backbends such as the snake movements in floorwork. My backbends look MUCH better now. Now, this DVD can work well for beginners as well as more experienced dancers but it is not your one stop place to learn all there is to know about belly dance. For more serious dancers who wish to be well rounded in all areas you will need more instruction than what this DVD alone can offer you. For instance, Brice does not explain floor work technique (although you do see her go to the floor and do a back bend in the choreography section) and she doesn't go over techniques such as belly flutters. You know, there are just some popular belly dance techniques that she doesn't go over. But, you can take the basics of what she is telling you and add onto it. For instance, she normally has you stand with you feet together hip distance apart- as is standard- for belly dance but you can still take those basic isolations and extend them to say, taking one foot forward and isolating that side of your body doing the lifts and drops. When belly dancing you shouldn't spread your feet out further than hip width apart or you won't be able to work the intended muscles properly and also it doesn't look good if your feet are too far apart (she doesn't say this, but just thought I would throw that in there but she does emphasize that feet should only be hip distance apart in part of her 10-point dance posture). Brice teaches both upper and lower body isolations in her isolation drills section. Also, watching her shimmy drill section I have been able to learn how to follow along with both the primary and secondary beats of the drum. So, say on faster songs I can shimmy and then lift my chest or do rib-cage slides with the slower/in between beat of the music. I find myself belly dancing all over the living room and I get a good work out. Then when I'm done and have brought my heart rate back to normal I use Brice's finishing yoga practice and stretch all of the muscles used.
Review: Exactly what I have been looking for - Disclaimer - I am not really into workout videos, however I know that structured practice is useful in any endeavor, and videos are can be a very useful tool when it comes to workouts, etc. Out of the half dozen or so belly dance videos I've seen, the only one I really have liked is Aziza's Ultimate video because it's pretty intense and Aziza's personality makes the video fun. I previewed Rachel's new video set yesterday and before the "How to use this video" section (which I watched first) was over, I knew this was an excellent purchase. The video is broken down in to sections and subsections (as others have mentioned) of technique discussions, yoga warm up and cool down, shimmy drills, hip work, upper body work, leg strengthening (which would be challenging to almost any athlete) and routines. The video is structured in such a way that you could do just one or two sections and get a complete "work out." Or you could take an entire afternoon and go through the entire video set. The DVD is set up specifically in this way and in the "How to use this video" section, Rachel reviews suggested practice schedules for those with other things to do in life, and those with more time to focus on dance. Each section is detailed and thorough. The thing I ADORE about these sections is nothing is rushed. Other dance videos I have worked with seem to rush through things - you can tell that the artist is cramming as much as she can into one hour. In this video set, there is no rush... Rachel takes her time, in REAL TIME, to go through everything at a pace that is realistic. For example in the yoga section, when she says "take a few breaths here," she is actually taking several slow yoga breaths!! I haven't even gotten that kind of realistic pace in an actual yoga class!! There are sections that are great for anyone, and sections (shimmy drills especially) that will be a real challenge to even advanced dancers (which I am not.) Speaking of realistic, I also love how Rachel's presence in the video is very "real," especially in the mini-courses section. I was able to take her choreography workshop a couple months ago, and was tickled pink that she used the very same moves, techniques, etc. from the workshop (albeit much more abbreviated in the workshop since she had so much material to cover) in this video, and her speaking style in the workshop is the same as in the video. Her personality comes out well in the mini-courses section, and during the shimmy drills section and a few other points in the video you can see her personality peek out with smiles and thumbs up... all while maintaining a very professional and relaxed demeanor. I also like how she has reminders to check posture regularly - she actually adjusts her own, and it's nice to see that even Rachel Brice has to double-check herself. In short, I would declare this the best $25 I have spent on belly dance.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent instruction!
*by D***E on August 5, 2010*

I have a whole library of bellydance dvds and this is by far one of the best. Rachel's instructions are very clear, the camera is focused on where it should be, and the pace is fast enough so that you are not bored but slow enough that you don't feel like you're doing "speed yoga" or are trying to learn a choreography in 4 minutes or less. As others have mentioned, the choreographies are probably not going to work well for someone who hasn't ever taken a lesson. If you are totally new to bellydance I would still recommend buying this set, just because disk 1 will prepare your body to dance well and you'll gain flexibility you never knew you had. Still, for a total beginner (or someone whose only instruction has come from videos) I would recommend taking a good class to learn proper technique, posture, and basic dance terms before doing disk 2. A good instructor will be able to watch what you are doing, keep you from injuring yourself, and I really do think that disk 2 will be very frustrating for someone who has never taken a class. And HOORAY for the backbending instruction! I have not found many instructors in my area who want to teach laybacks and such, and this is a very informative section that I will be watching over and over again. Like one other reviewer I'm not really fond of the music chosen for the 1st choreography. This is not necessarily a bad thing. Any dancer who hopes to someday be part of a dance troupe will probably have to do a dance that they don't like or dance to a song they don't care for, so just because I don't really like the music doesn't mean that I will not bother to learn it. Sometimes learning to dance to a song has caused me to learn to like it just because it becomes familiar and I'm having FUN! The only problem I had with the yoga/exercise portions of this video are that the instructions flip-flop. At the beginning, when she is facing you, the voiceover will say something like "move your right arm...." and she moves her left so she is mirroring you. Further on into the workout the voicover will say to move your right arm/leg ands she actually uses her right arm/leg and therefore you will have to either do the opposite of what she is saying if you want to mirror her movements, or actually go the way she says which will NOT mirror her movements. I think they could have done a LOT better with the voiceover as far as that goes. It is confusing to most people to hear "move left" and see someone move to their right, especially when the instruction starts out so well. Other than that this is a great dvd.
