Most of the performances were good and some were great (Lauren Rose's solo, Blanca's solo, the one with the snake!) but a few were pretty boring(the group one with Blanca and the sheets and the one with the butterfly wings). I love belly dance (Rania is awesome!) and I bought this dvd because I thought it would put a new artistic flare on an old dance and I was right! I like the costumes, props (fire, swords, snakes, ball 'n chains!) and a lot of the music which is mostly industrial but there was some more traditional sounding stuff,too. If you buy this dvd and sit down to watch it don't be thrown off by the beginning, it is pretty cheesey, trust me it gets good. One thing I would have done differently, and the main reason I gave this a "good" rating instead of an "excellent" was the camera work. I like distant shots so I can see the entire body of the dancers, but some more close-ups would have been nice. Those girls put a lot into their make-up and costumes it would have been nice to see all of the details, that's one thing I love about the Natural Journeys dvds. I think they do a good job splitting the performances up into close-ups and full body shots. One more thing, there is an awesome performance done by a woman with wings and a woman with a sword. It wasn't really "belly" dancing, but it was PRETTY COOL. They look like their doing battle with each other. All in all, I would definitely reccomend this dvd,but try to get it at a discount(what can I say, I'm cheap!), YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!Read full review
I fell for the trailer for this DVD. The trailer does show the better parts of this DVD. If you are looking for BELLY DANCE, then only about 20% of this is belly dance. That 20% is good and it does have imagination to it. Some parts of this actually depressed me so I wanted to take the DVD and break it into little pieces and then slash something with the sharp edges. There are few interesting costumes, bear in mind I did add "few" interesting costumes. Seems once somethng looks good everyone wants to copy and not be orginial. Once I replayed the really slllloooow parts in faster mode, it became a little more interesting. Will I watch it again, yes , just to show how bad some of it really is.
I bought this DVD because I love all types of bellydancing. If you really like goth and bellydance you will like it, not only for the very talented dancers, but the crazy, sexy outfits these ladies don. The dancing is typical bellydance done to modern goth or industrial music. In my opinion, they saved the best for last in this DVD, Isis gives the best and most authentic Egyptian performance I have ever seen!
I decided to buy this because 1) I'm a goth 2) I'm a belly dancer 3) I wanted to see how goth and belly dance could be incorporated. And I needed a few ideas and some inspiration. I absolutly loved all the dances. They were beautiful and this has become one of my favorite DVDs to watch over and over.
A part very interesting , an other so space. I don't like the first song with Jeneviva , it compare at a sexmovie , the song , the movement , Berk ! But a part is so interesting , the background , the choregraphie. Yes it's depends.
