Don't waste your money.......2007-04-19

Sorry to say that since I like both Sonia and Issam a lot. The dvd is filmed in a way that it's difficutlt to follow either of them, even though I can see they try really hard to make it look easy. Issam is an excellent table player and Sonia a lovely dancer. If this had been filmed/edited in a different way I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
Buy Bellydance Superstars Live in Paris to see both of these folks in action in a much better way. (This is coming from a bellydancer)

Good but not as thorough as I thought it would be.......2007-03-09

Very good at going through the beats and combinations that could be used. I guess I just had the impression there would be a little more content as far as moves per rhythm.

good but bland.......2007-02-20

I really liked learning the rhythms and how to use basic movements with them. However, I found the presentation style of both Sonia and Issam to be extremely dry, bland.... maybe even boring. This was very different from their animated and energizing attitudes in the candid piece where they were touring Egypt.

Ok, not as good as some, but could be better.......2007-01-26

Drum solos to me are terrifying as there is so much to them, and the horror of repeating a step too many times or starting out too strong and having no where to go encouraged me to try a video. It doesn't explain things as well as I would like, but its better than some (cough*Rania* what on earth is she doing?!!) The extra clips are fun as well!

Not sure.......2007-01-14

I'm not sure what the standard is on drumming and solos. This was an ok video.
