Customer Reviews

One of the best
I found this dvd a valued addition to my collection. The drills and exercises are something I plan on doing regularly as I can see I am improving after doing it just once! Sharon Kihara's explanations of how your muscles move to create the shimmies and rolls are excellent.
I recommend this to belly dancers who have had a little training already and have a teacher on hand as some of the moves could be difficult to get the first time around.
If you plan on improving your dancing quickly get this dvd!

A great companion to your bellydance practice!!
This has quickly become one of favorite dvds to work with at home. Sharon gives some great drills for working on muscle memory, a nice set of strengthening exercises and of course the yummy combos we so love. Although the dvd is done in the voice-over style, which usually gets on my nerves, Sharon has so much darn personality she doesn't have to say anything.

The yoga warm-up is just the right thing to get your muscles stretched out and ready for the work ahead. She then puts you through a few thigh, core and glute conditioning exercises before leading you into a challenging, yet not overwhelming, set of drills working from the shoulders down to the hips. The combos are fun and Sharon is a great teacher, the instruction is not in voice-over for the combos. Yay!

All-in-all, this is a fun technique building video and would be an asset to anyone's library. My only beef is that there is no cool-down, so be sure to stretch when you're done.

Great work
I like this video of its quality, nice setting and Sharon's appearance and voice. I don't agree with the comments saying that Sharon's not good at present in front of the camera. She is gorgeous and she moves her hair several times only to make sure you can see her movement more clearly. The choreography is little short for me. If it had been longer or included two short ones, I wouldn't hesitate to give it a 5-star.
