Easy to Understand and Learn Belly Dance Instruction that Connects the Dots

First Live Bellydance Class Broadcast on the Internet on April 4th

It certainly has been a long journey - Belly Dance Instruction on VHS tapes, then DVD's, on line video, Pay-Per-View on line video and now  belly dance classes broadcast live across the Internet.

We're really excited about it. The event was attended by dancers from Australia to Romania and all points in between. The event was recorded and will be available on DVD and on line Pay-Per-View in the coming days. If you are a Bellydance student who perhaps lives in a remote area without access to an instructor, of if you can't find an instructor in your area then this is the solution for you.  

On Line Video - Fact and Fiction

On Line Video is revolutionizing the way that Belly Dance (and indeed all) instruction is going t o be delivered. I'm happy to say that we've been out in front of this trend from the beginning. but this trend is still in the early adopter stage. For Belly Dancers on line video has been a real boom and when combined with Pay Per View it affords dancers a way to "Try Before You Buy" which we think is a good thing because it saves dancers time and money.  Entire article here.....

A Common Diversity - Time is The Only Critic Without Ambition

This particular subject has attached itself to every belly dancers hip since the beginning of time. So let’s start looking into this topic with one of my first questions that has plagued me for years; are we entertainers or are we dancers? Interesting question because so many women through out the years have commented to me that to be a dancer is better than to be an entertainer. And some dancers have given the opinion that we are entertainers up on stage that dance. So here we have two different opinions and that is what makes our world go round. Even more so we will have a specific group or person say one way “their way” is better. This is understandable because no one can walk a particular dancers’ path for them or in their footsteps. With experience comes opinions and with opinions come life statements of what works and what doesn’t work. Is this the building block of criticism? What happens when we create a community that is critical of specific dance groups, dance styles, dance ability and dance venues? How healthy is the air we breathe in our environment when we contaminate it with criticisms and censorship? Is this necessary or does it do the opposite which is to clear the wheat from the chafe? .

Belly Dance Instructional Videos and DVDs

The market is awash with Belly Dance Instructional Videos and DVDs. Some of these are great and well worth the investment but lets not kid ourselves; amongst the thousands of titles there are many titles that are not worth the plastic they are burned on .I was actually appalled when one of my students told me that she had invested hundreds of dollars in "off the shelf' belly dance instructional DVDs that she felt were a waste of money. I don't know if I'd call it a tragedy (maybe she would) but I'd certainly call it a travesty. If you've been dancing for any length of time, you probably can identify with what I'm saying. This is the reason we decided to invest in our own production equipment and offer personal dance videos. Personal dance videos is a completely unique offering designed to provide any dancer with instruction specifically tailored to what they need. During the last year we've had the good fortune and opportunity to meet, befriend and help quite a few dancers this way and so far we've had nothing but positive reviews and for this we are very thankful, grateful and inspired. Anyway, check back, or sign up and get a free series of instructional videos and you will be the first to know how we plan on helping a lot more dancers get the highest quality instruction at the lowest possible cost. We're excited about 2009.
