Visual Melodies by Hossam and Serena Ramzy DVD Review
General impression - The performances in this belly dance DVD are very well choreographed and Serena Ramzy is a very good and graceful belly dancer. The breakdowns of the dance routines are not particularly easy to follow, thus this DVD is better suited for advanced belly dance students.
Content - This belly dance instructional DVD is divided into two parts: the entertainment part, with three belly dance choreographies performed with three different songs, and the educational part, where these choreographies are explained.
The educational part of each choreography has its own menu with four sections: breakdown info (written
instructions of the moves performed in each part of the song) and the dance watched from three
different angles 
(front angle, right angle and left
angle).
The breakdown info leads to a section where there is a written explanation for each part of the song, for example he introduction, first verse etc. Every part of the written instructions links to a section of the choreography, so if you click on the title, for example of ‘first verse’, this will lead you to a part of the video with that section of the dance performed by Serena. However, the video will not stop at the end of that part. You have to go back to that section’s menu again if you wish to see that section again.
Advised level - If used as an instructional DVD, this belly dance DVD is definitely mostly suited to advanced belly dancers. However, every belly dancer, no matter what level of experience, can enjoy watching this DVD for its entertainment value. Watching Serena’s graceful moves provides a lot of inspiration to belly dancers, who can also get out of the DVD many ideas for their own choreographies.
