The Golden Apple- Bellydance Stars from New York

Neon, Blanca, Jenna (special performance by Jehan)

This is a performance dvd- not a workout, instructional. I'm posting a review here because we seem to have some dancers and people interested in dance so someone might buy this looking for choreography ideas or to try to follow along with the dancers to learn dance that way.

If you want a performance disc (for whatever reason), there are much better ones to pick. First, the production is just wacky. At times its grainy, and there are some effects that detract from actually seeing the dancers and some of the camera angles are just bad. The music will not be to many people's taste. Mostly, its a fusion of techno- new age with some provacative lyrics with lines about secret places and the body temple, come in and find love. If you've got a problem with sexualizing belly dance, stay away. especially since some of the dancers' floorwork looks more like writhing around rather than floorwork.

Instructor comments: The performers are all good dancers.
