Michelle Joyce is a bellydancer and video producer that is on a mailing list that I'm on to review bellydance videos. It's hosted by Shira who puts out some awesome, detailed, thorough bellydance video reviews on her website. Anyway, Michelle often offers a free video to the first 10 responders when a new video is produced through her and I have been fortunate to win a few... I owe her a lot of reviews.
A friend sold me the two FCBD videos. I have never done tribal. Group numbers aren't really my thing, but I've learned a few choreographies anyway... will see what these videos have to offer.
Some of the videos are more for knowledge/information/inspiration rather than a particular move or technique. (Secrets of the Stage, American Bellydance Legends, etc). That should help give my legs a break from January's miles... but I'll try to get in some gym workouts all the same... and some bellydance videos can make you sweat quite well, too...
The Doumbek videos are something that may be a challenge to watch/review, since it would generally mean practicing drumming and I'll have to plan that for when
fullauto is not at home [grin] We'll see how that goes... (and if I get them all done and post reviews to LJ, Amazon and the bellydance video review group before the end of the month, perhaps another order from the Cherry Republic is in order :) )
