DVD Reviews of The Heartbeat of Bellydance: Rhythms & Belly Dance Combinations for Drum Solos
DVD Review: Great Exercise!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just love it! Step by step instructions. Something you don't see on other videos. Thanks girls!DVD Review: great value and generous content
Summary: 5 Stars
While some reviewers have accurately noted that the actual video editing and production quality here is less than ideal...the actual content and information within make up for this ten fold!
The menus and play features are a bit annoying as they require you to select and start in order to play each section. It would be better if the dvd simply played all the way through, without the stopping between each section.
Jenna offers a warm up, figures and technique instruction, three really tight choreographies at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels and just when you think it can't get any better, she throws in a wonderful and so well done section on drum rhythm identification, explanation, and examples.
This is one of the BEST productions regarding actual content and information I have ever seen! This DVD is generously filled with material to help you dance your best!
DVD Review: can't wait
Summary: 5 Stars
I've gotten Jenna's other DVDs and loved how she broke things down for you, step by step. I've bought other DVDs (Neon etc.) and didn't like it, they worked too fast and didn't break it down enough for beginners. Jenna takes her time with you and it's easy to follow her. They show her feet, her hands, everything so you know what she's doing so you can then learn it yourself. I would recommend Jenna as a teacher. I have already bought this one and am just waiting for it. :)DVD Review: Two dvds in one
Summary: 4 Stars
This has three great dances performed and broken down for the viewer to learn. It also has a shimmy drill section and 3/4 shimmy drill. The thing this video has that I have never seen on a belly dance video is the rythyms explained - very interesting. I rented this and I will be buying it. I think this video is best for intermediate.DVD Review: great dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a great dvd. it is almost better than the original (Bellydance Basics and Beyond)! Jenna performs a few drum solos, then you get the step-by-step directions in how to learn it. It even has a section for common drum rhythms! The heartbeat of Bellydance is a great dvd!
Description of The Heartbeat of Bellydance: Rhythms & Belly Dance Combinations for Drum Solos
A bellydance drum solo is actually a duet: Together, a dancer and a drummer create a unique piece of performance art. For the dancer, the drum solo is an exciting experience demanding a profound understanding of rhythmic patterns and a wide vocabulary of bellydance moves and accents, all necessary to enable her to interact at will with the music created by the drummer.RHYTHM WORKSHOP: Raquy (New York) breaks apart eight popular bellydance rhythms: baladi, saiidi, maksoum, masmoudi, ciftetelli, malfouf, ayub, & semai. Acclaimed as a percussion performer, instructor and composer, Raquy teaches us how to recognize each rhythm. Then Jenna (Los Angeles) a star dancer, instructor and choreographer, demonstrates effective dance combinations for each of the eight rhythms. Accompanied by Raquy and Carmine, Jenna then also demonstrates the unique art of drum solo improvisation including the above rhythms.
CHOREOGRAPHY WORKSHOP: Jenna takes you step-by-step through three bellydance drum solo choreographies; beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each instructional session takes place before the mirror, enabling you to follow Jenna as if you were right behind her in the studio. On screen, a beat counter accompanies choreographic demostrations. Choreography breakdown sections separate each dance into numbered combinations, and provide titles naming each move. The "Learn and Practice" sections offer a step by-step breakdown of each combination, and a presentation of the choreography "from the top" with practice repetitions inserted, so you can follow Jenna and learn the steps in real time.
The DVD also contains a WARMUP sequence recommended before learning or practicing, and Jenna's famous SHIMMY DRILLS: the Shimmy Layering Drill, and her 3/4 Shimmy Drill. The drills are fun mini-exercise routines to help you learn and build on the art of the shimmy, one of the most colorful and vibrant bellydance moves.
