DVD Reviews of Dance Today! Flamenco - Active Lifestyle Makeover

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.

DVD Review: Was Ok
Summary: 3 Stars

The instructor was a very informative and descriptive, however it was hard to follow. She showed how to move and how to act but she didn't put the steps together very well. Was a lot of fun to do, but if you want to finish the dance from beginning to end you will have to be very patient because she shows you the moves she just doesn't show you how to put them all together. You have to do that yourself and by watching the demo.

DVD Review: Good for a beginner starting from zero
Summary: 3 Stars

Puela speaks very clearly. You will feel comfortable with her. Her explanations are quite thorough and you can see that she has worked hard in this production.
Her style is "classical". Her choreographies, as a whole, are not what you might see in Spain today. She does get across in a fun way, which is a good way to get acquainted with the dance, since modern-day Flamenco can be quite demanding. My review is based on my experience as an "intermediate" dancer who has studied (and lived briefly) in Sevilla.

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.
