DVD Reviews of Rachel Brice: Bellydance Arms and Posture
DVD Review: Just not fun.
Summary: 3 Stars
I gave this three stars because Rachel Brice's performance is always fun to watch. The instructional part was just boring. probaly a good arm work out, but I just don't think I will go back to this one over and over for practice. I'm not a tribal dancer, but There are so many other videos out there that get you a good work out and are fun. (Aziza, Michelle Joyce, Jenna even Veena and Neena for beginners. I guess it you are really into tribal you may like this more than I did. Also I don't recomend it for beginners.DVD Review: Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars
I highly recommend this DVD for anyone who wishes to increase the strength and poise or their arms and upper back.
I actually didn't expect much from this DVD, but now that I've watched it I'm surprised! I have strong arms and good technique, but the drills and exercises had me sore!
You should definitely buy this DVD - even if you already have good arm technique. There's always room for improvement, and Rachel will help you achieve that!
DVD Review: More please!
Summary: 4 Stars
Perfect for me and anyone else who needs to tone the arms. The way Rachel describes the movements is excellent. I'm new to tribal style so this dvd was very helpful in positioning the arms, but it's true that there isn't much talk about posture. I guess if you're holding your arms correctly and moving the way she tells you to, the posture just kind of follows along? Didn't really seem to be a problem for me personally. I will say it seemed more like something to add to my warm-up or drills. Something that can be done quickly each day.
complaints:
1) wish there was more dancing
2) wish the dvd was a bit longer
I read reviews of other people before buying this dvd so I wasn't disappointed. However, I would suggest you read those reviews as well, most are pretty spot-on. As for the interview at the end, I saw an interview with Rachel online that seemed to be almost the exact same one on the dvd. Just a bit cleaner on the dvd and slightly more info. than online.
DVD Review: Great for arthritic shoulders.
Summary: 5 Stars
About a year ago, I started having serious problems with pain in my right shoulder because of arthritis in that shoulder--I drive 30,000 miles a year for work. I decided that if I had to move my arm a lot in order to make it better, which is the least invasive treatment for garden-variety osteoarthritis in your shoulders, I was going to do something that wouldn't remind me that I was doing the exercises because of arthritis. So, I began teaching myself to bellydance.
This is fabulous for opening up the arms and shoulders. It's just wonderful.
DVD Review: mixed feelings...
Summary: 3 Stars
I have mixed feelings about this dvd, so I can understand the mixed reviews.
It is short compared to other tribal dvd's, so you can go through and do the whole thing in one session, which may be a good thing or a bad thing.
The workout for your arms and sholders is great (I mostly just do this section). There is only one combination and it would be nice to see more, or have a short choreography. The stretching and yoga I found a bit inadequate. One section has you doing levels changes, which is hard on the thighs yet there are no leg stretches at the end. My thighs were aching for days.
As for the 'interview' with Rachel Brice, that was very disappointing. Rachel asks Miles what he thinks viewers would want to know, and he says oh where you get your jewellery from(!!) Am I different to every other viewer? I want to know about her flexbility, her strength, her moves...anything except jewellery!
If you want to move your arms like Rachel then sure this dvd will help (although you can get an arms workout from other tribal dvd's). You will not learn anything about her amazing backbends or belly rolls (which I've now worked out for myself anyway, hoorah...but a lesson might have helped!).
So if you are a big fan of Rachel then get the dvd, if you are just into tribal get Asharah's or Ariellah's - you will get way more for your money.
