DVD Reviews of Dance Today! Flamenco - Active Lifestyle Makeover
DVD Review: Good but too quick
Summary: 3 Stars
Having taken a beginners Flamenco class, I wanted to continue to practice without forgetting all the moves, while away. This DVD is lovely and so is Ms. Puela, However, I wish she'd taken a little slower approach. Doing "like this:" with your hands, won't really TEACH you how to do the quite complex hand/ arm/ fingers movements , on which I have been working with a private teacher over a good several hours. Spending extra 5 minutes at the beginning, JUST on fingers, wrist and elbows, would be exactly what is needed, in my opinion.
If you are a quick learner, can watch and imitate, or if you just want to get the general sense of Flamenco, then this video is good for you.
DVD Review: Great choreography, some flaws in presentation
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for some gypsy dance instructional DVDs & came across 3 names of interest: Dalia Carella, Vashti, & Puela Lunaris. All 3 have something to offer. The "Gypsy Tangos" on this DVD is a great choreography, which I have learned & performed in public. I like that Lunaris has the full version of the dance in both the instructional mode & a performance, and that you can download the music for $1 with either Spanish lyrics or English. The white background is also good in reducing distractions. On the negative side, you only see the choreography from the front (no mirror image or view from the back), and Lunaris' sense of timing is rather fluid. But it is still a good DVD, and a great value for the money.DVD Review: I like Puela; but I prefer her first dvd
Summary: 3 Stars
I really like Puela. I loved her first 2 dvds. This one for some reason didn't affect me like the others. Its not that her teaching style is any different. It just doesn't appeal to me to where its fun to learn it. DVD Review: Great instruction!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great instructional DVD, the teacher makes each move very easy to follow.
Slow enough to really be able to keep up and actually learn the moves.
I love this DVD, one of the best I have ever bought so far.
DVD Review: This is the one to learn flamenco!
Summary: 5 Stars
In my discovery of Gypsy bellydance, I noticed there were alot of flamenco moves and hand gestures. I went on to Amazon and checked out reviews of flamenco DVDs finding that Dance Today and Flamenco You Can Do It (both demonstrated by Puela Lunaris) had great reviews- many from other bellydancers!
After quickly receiving the DVDs, I was very impressed on the step-by-step instruction and the enthusiasm and charm of Ms. Lunaris .
I would certainly recommend these two DVDs to learn this beautiful art.
I'm pretty sure clips of these DVDs can be reviewed on YouTube.
Description of Dance Today! Flamenco - Active Lifestyle Makeover
When life becomes a bit too predictable and routine drains you of excitement, it's time to let the magic of dance carry you beyond your current horizons. Discover new ways to move, to look, to find friends, to stay in shape, and to shake off stress. Dance is a language: Tell your story and celebrate your true self through sensual, feminine movement. Even if you learn just a few steps, dance will always be with you, a sparkling new facet to the precious gem that is YOU.Learn two beautiful dances with Puela Lunaris - Gypsy Tangos and Farruca!
Gyspy Tangos are one of Flamenco's most sensual dances. More ancient than the Argentine Tango, the Gypsy Tangos are traditionally danced at gypsy weddings and celebrations in Spain. Learn a full choreography in the traditional manner of waving your skirt into passionate flames and moving your hips the gypsy way.
Farruca is a passionate and powerful footwork dance, energizing and full of life. Farruca was one of the first dances to develop within Flamenco as a performing art during the Modernist era. It had deep influence upon the work of Diaghilev, Massine and Picasso. An outstanding stress reliever, dancing the Farruca feels invigorating and empowering.
* Bonus! Puela Lunaris' performances of Gypsy Tangos and Farruca with live band.
