This is such a sham it`s laughable
The pretty cover is a total dupe! Inside the video is the EXACT opposite. Lord almighty, this is the ugliest bellydance video I've seen in 15 years.
Looks like it was shot in a 1930's catholic school gym with a dirty, old and stained, hardwood floor. Behind Farhara dressed in basic black (no princess accroutments evident...she looks less glamourous than a soccer mom) hang dragging-floor-to-ceiling tattered blue satin curtains of the gaudiest color, making your eyes beg for relief. I don`t know what those curtains are hiding but I kept expecting basketballs from the junior high team no doubt playing behind her, to come flying in.
Farhana herself is not a terrible dancer persay - but lets face it, bellydance for all it's technique and work is not rocket science, but a dance whose technique is constantly under interpretion, unlike, say ballet, so tho I would not classify her as `bad`, she`s no inspiring swan song either. Her technique is sloppy and ungainly as far...
Great way to learn the fundamentals!
Princess Farhana is a great teacher, who not only teaches basic technique, but also gives background information about the dance form and its history. She is smart and funny and teaches a very enjoyable class. If you truly want to learn how to belly dance and want a solid, basic foundation, then this video is definitely for you!
NOT WORTH IT
I got this dvd for a cheaper price at another store. I was not even worth the cheaper price. I use to pass by it with my mind telling me not to get it, but I finally fell for it and purchased it. My mind was right, it was not good.
