"Your belly dance video is terrific. This is the best introduction to belly
dance video I have ever seen. The explanations make it easy to follow the
different movements. The camera angles show exactly what you are doing. I
would recommend it whole heartedly for anyone who needs or wants a complete
introduction to belly dance. I can't wait for your intermediate video." ~Lesley

REVIEWS
Desert Knights music is featured on Carrie Konyha's NEW Belly Dance Instructional Video. (Review below by Adam Burke, of Desert Knights.)

"As the founder of the belly dance music group, Desert Knights, I am happy to have
our music featured on Carrie Konyha's new instructional video for beginners entitled
"The Dance -- Volume I," especially so, because of the excellent production quality of
this 80-minute presentation. The clarity of sound and video enables Carrie's thorough
and effective demonstrations to shine through for the viewer. 

Though I am not a dancer, I can easily see that this video would enable any aspiring
belly dance student to not only get a good start, but to become an effective performer,
due to the comprehensive material presented here. It would also serve as an useful
"review" for more experienced dancers. Her introductory warm-up and stretch is given
the importance it deserves as an essential component of effective dancing, and I
especially enjoyed her holistic integration of techniques, such as those central to yoga
practice, for a centered approach to the dance. 

Carrie features over 24 individual moves in this single video (the equivalent of a full
12-week course), each clearly demonstrated, as well as the finest zill (finger cymbal)
lesson I've seen. As a musician, I was pleased to observe Carrie's timing and
understanding of the role that zills play in bellydance performance. I might even try
playing them, now that I know the proper techniques! 

I highly recommend "The Dance" to any serious student of bellydance, and I am
pleased to play a part in this excellent presentation." -- Adam Burke/Desert Knights

Fast Delivery and Well Packaged! This video is one hour and 20 minutes long and 
covers every aspect of Middle East dancing there is! I certainly think that I got my 
moneys worth from this video! Carrie is such a beautiful woman to watch move and 
shows how to and how not to dance. She has several other dancers with different 
body shapes doing the same moves and other alternate moves so you can see how 
the dance looks on different people. She also covers every imaginable possibility of 
the dance. I can't say anything negative about this video. It is perfect for anyone 
looking to enhance their movements or for anyone wanting to perfect their dance. 
Especially beneficial to the beginning dancer. I would give it 10+ belly jewels out of 
10 belly jewels! --Azeeza
