Ballet for Belly Dancers Plus Jillina's Pop Choreo DVDs


I shared this on Amazon.com:
"Ballet For Belly Dancersalt is another high quality video production from Cheeky Girls. I was really excited to hear that this DVD was coming out because whenever I take a belly dance workshop and the instructor uses ballet terms, I feel a little lost. I had looked into ballet-specific DVDs, but didn't want to get that involved with ballet, so this was a perfect fit for me. Brianna is clear and easy to follow. The filming and sound quality are excellent. There's even a glossary of ballet terms inside the cover. I highly recommend this DVD!"

I also recently viewed Bellydance With Jillina, Vol. 2: Lebanese Pop Choreographyalt.  This DVD showcases a full choreography with step-by-step instructions for the included combinations. 
Jillina is easy to follow and the overall quality is great.  If you like Jillina's style, you will be very happy with this instructional DVD.  I rarely follow choreographies exactly for my own dancing.  Instead I use them to observe how another dancer has interpreted the music and am inspired by new combinations of movements.  (It's important to note that while the music is Lebanese pop, the dance style is not Lebanese-specific.  The music used is "Ya Hawa" by Shady Sayegh.  From what I can tell, this version is available only on Jillina's Companion CD, which includes the music for her other instructional DVDs in this series.  This song was previously recorded by Wael Kfoury, so you may be able to easily adapt this to his version, which is longer by about 1 1/2 minutes.)
