Dear Autumn; Thank you so much for making a DVD that goes into soooooooo much detail of how to do the fundamental movements of belly dance. I have gone back to the beginning, and started re-learning the basics - this time with all the missing parts filled in, using your lessons (and yoga of course). People like me, who have a hard time getting to a formal class, rely on DVD's for our training and this one is a God send. You are a wonderful instructor. Please make another one. Best Wishes.
This video is now a must have for my new students. If you're not ready to do the work to improve your lines and ability to flow then you won't want this, however if you're ready to the work, you'll be amazed! I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO! Autumn you're brilliant. Thanks!
I don't like all that over-muscled bodies and proffessional steps and outfits with too much of jewels on it. I prefer just simple belly dancing, that looks natural. I'm sorry
The warm up section is very gentle. But, it requires consistent practice because it uses the skills she teaches throughout the DVD. I hope this helps.
I have this DVD. She goes into such incredible detail on how to make everything correct and beautiful. There are things in her lessons that I NEVER learned in class or from other DVD's. If you want to really learn the CORRECT and BEUTIFUL way to bellydance, this DVD is a must have. To get the most out of it, don't skip anything just because it LOOKS simple. She teaches little nuances that are easy to miss, but very important.
@bellydancerocks321 How is the warm up section? I have Sadie's ultimate belly dance guide right now and her warm up is quite intimidating (and I think I hurt my back a little doing one of the stretches where you have to bend with a flat back and straight legs) I want to warm up because I know it's important but I don't think that's the right stretch or the right approach for me.
@kltalon Hello! Thank you for the compliments. In this video I'm wearing gold leather ballet slippers made by the Mexican company Miguelito. They also come in silver! You can order online (in the US and Mexico anyway) from their website.
If you don't own it...run to buy it today...the DVD is fantastic for beginners who want to start their dance life correctly, perfect for advanced dancers who want to learn GREAT technique and even for teachers who will learn SO much about breaking down movements correctly! This is an encyclopedia of movements that should be in EVERY dancer's library! Autumn is a gift to our dance community!
Wow. I just found out about this DVD; I'm so glad that Autumn Ward has released an instructional video! I've been admiring her style for some time and would love to study with her... now I can! :D
True, rosereddoll, and I suppose it could be distracting, but at least it allows the viewer to really see and appreciate the movements, steps, muscles used. Oh to have a lovely warm studio with mirrors like that!
good dvd! she breaks the moves down perfectly :) i dont regret buying
