Narah gives a breakdown of how to layer and combine the basic moves taught on the video. I can honestly say that from this point on, the combinations demonstrated on Narah's DVD will be the main ones taught in my beginning level classes. 

I highly recommend this DVD for all levels of belly dancers—from the beginning dancer to the belly dance instructor, responsible for providing others with a solid foundation in tribal style belly dance.

Narah is equally as creative in her approach to drilling as a means of improving a dancer's technique. ::laughing:: For all my students who love my "hands" when I dance, Narah's "caterpillar" drill is just what you're looking for!!!

As a belly dance instructor, I love the combinations she chose for this video! Layering and combining basic moves is a requirement for advancement from Basic I to Basic II in my classes.

Narah demonstrates her skill as an instructor by using techniques that facilitate the learning basic moves. She creates associations between the dance moves & common objects. For example, using the letter "D" to explain the elliptical ribcage circle. As a belly dance instructor I am just as aware that such mnemonics are a wonderful way of increasing a beginning dancer's ability to execute moves properly.

Let me begin by saying that it is an awesome instructional DVD!!! The format makes you feel as if you are standing in an actual dance class!! All the moves are demonstrated and clear verbal instructions given. Each dance move is broken down, then drilled while Narah continues to provide verbal cues, even "calling" the positions for you! (Like I said--just like being in class!!!)
