Tribal Fusion Belly Dance DVD Review - Yoga, Isolations
and drills: a practice companion with Rachel Brice
(from the Bellydance Superstars series)
General considerations
This belly dance DVD focuses in particular on tribal
belly dance style, but it is a good practice companion
for every bellydancer, no matter 
what
the practised style is. Rachel Brice uses yoga moves
to guide you through a body warm up session and to
help you strengthen some muscles, which are particularly
involved in belly dance moves. Yoga exercises are
followed by drills on a range of basic belly dance
movements, such as shoulder figures of eight, chest
lifts and drops and more.
The moves in this belly dance DVD are clearly explained,
it is a good practice companion and it is great if
you want to focus on practising some fundamental belly
dance moves and strengthen your muscles. However,
you would be disappointed if you were looking for
a dance routine to learn, as Rachel, in this DVD does
not teach any dance routine or steps. There is only
a brief performance in this DVD, which can inspire
you if you practice tribal style belly dance.
Content

sessions, according to the time you have available.
The DVD contains three training sessions each lasting:
15, 30 and 45 minutes.

The DVD also includes a tribal belly dance performance
by Rachel Brice and a brief introduction by Carolena
Nericcio, the creator of American Tribal Style Belly
Dance.
Advised level
This belly dance
DVD is suitable as an instructional DVD for beginners,
who want to learn some basic moves. It is also suitable
for more advanced levels, as a companion to practice
drills and help create structure and find motivation,
which otherwise could be difficult if practising on
your own.
