A great belly dancer teacher!

Even a seasoned dancer likes this

"I bought this, honestly, as a joke. I thought it looked so funny, I had to add it to my "bad videos" collection. In fact, I bought all Amira Mor ones.



So I popped in the cardio one. I was impressed--you do need to know how to shimmy, but I love drills and this is great for it.



And then I popped in this one. While geared towards a higher beginner/low intermediate dancer, Amira does talk about some veil wraps that are pretty interesting even for a more seasoned dancer. She teaches a very cute routine, including veil, standing, and floor work, and manages to teach it in a dignified, modest way. You can take from it as you wish and make it more exotic, you can take it and make it more modest; the routine really gives you a base and you can add your own flair to it.



I gave it a four because the set design in the back, for me, was distracting--a bit too veily and almost implying an Indian style bed.



But for those beginner and early intermediate dancers who want a solid choreography, or those dancers of other genres who want something fun to try out Friday night, I recommend this DVD--I was pleasantly surprised.

Amira's voice is distracting at first, breathy and accented, but you learn to like it rather quickly. She is really enjoying the dance, she is a good strong instructor, and"

Disappointed

"I thought, "well, the cover looks great, and a review was o.k, so it must be something I would be interested in". Boy was I disappointed! I have been bellydancing for 3 years...and too be honest I couldn't stop shaking my head. The picture was awful...I thought her veil unwrapping looked terrible, and as for her instruction, it was rushed, and not very discriptive at all. I thought she looked ridiculous. I wouldn't recommend this video at all. Learn basic moves and you could do a better job at seduction all on your own. Save your money!"

Deep and exotic

"Amira Mor is very inspiring, and you make rapid progress with these videos. Though you get a workout, it's not just about fitness, it's about belly dance, the art form. Each of them works on a different theme. The "soul" one is about control, focus and grace. I love the workout in the cardio video. I got the first five videos and did one of the videos every day for a month -- and now can do an advanced class, no problem!"
