Rachel Brice: Bellydance Arms and Posture
Date undefinedI have mixed feelings about this dvd, so I can understand the mixed reviews.
It is short compared to other tribal dvd's, so you can go through and do the whole thing in one session, which may be a good thing or a bad thing.
The workout for your arms and sholders is great (I mostly just do this section). There is only one combination and it would be nice to see more, or have a short choreography. The stretching and yoga I found a bit inadequate. One section has you doing levels changes, which is hard on the thighs yet there are no leg stretches at the end. My thighs were aching for days.
As for the 'interview' with Rachel Brice, that was very disappointing. Rachel asks Miles what he thinks viewers would want to know, and he says oh where you get your jewellery from(!!) Am I different to every other viewer? I want to know about her flexbility, her strength, her moves...anything except jewellery!
If you want to move your arms like Rachel then sure this dvd will help (although you can get an arms workout from other tribal dvd's). You will not learn anything about her amazing backbends or belly rolls (which I've now worked out for myself anyway, hoorah...but a lesson might have helped!).
So if you are a big fan of Rachel then get the dvd, if you are just into tribal get Asharah's or Ariellah's - you will get way more for your money.

Date undefinedRachel Brice is just awesome. I'm so glad she came out with this DVD (her yoga/drills DVD was a bit basic for me). The strengthening section really burns, and I love the combos at the end. This DVD has really inspired me to work harder on my arms, which are often an afterthought. Another must have for any bellydancer!!

Date undefinedThis is a great tutorial. I've had back problems for quite a few years, and I was delighted to see the yoga and hardcore exercises packed into this video. I can't say it completely healed up my back, but I can tell the muscles are so much stronger, and I can hold correct posture for much longer without pain.
More importantly to most dancers, arms and posture are the biggest things so many dancers ignore or forget. If you don't have this skill set, you're going to look like a beginner for certain! Plus, the way she goes through how to do serpentine movements is so thoroughly broken down - even though I've been a tribal dancer for years, I learned so much.
Rachel deserves her fame - she's brilliant at what she does. Buy this product!!! It's so worth it.
