Learning how to dance from Dolphina is a challenge. First, she demonstrates moves improperly by not isolating them, which is the entire point of bellydance: isolation. It's not a bicycle hip if you use your whole body to do it. Sometimes she shows one move and then teaches another. For example, she shows what looks like a backwards hip figure 8, then teaches an upwards hip figure 8. Not only that, she teaches the move wrong so that it is harder to do! On one of her veil moves she teaches you to twist to look behind you and dip one arm down with the other up, and alternate. Then she shows the move and both arms are supposed to be at the same level throughout the move, not one down and one up. So again, she taught it wrong and the viewer has to figure it out on his/her own. While demonstrating moves, she tries to throw in other movements as well, such as wrist circles. Instead of looking graceful, she wriggles like a warm on a hook. Her arm movements themselves are stiff and awkward. If you don't know what a move is supposed to look like, she wont help.In the finger cymbals video, she doesn't teach proper zil technique. Instead, she gives the viewer cheats by teaching them phrases to zil to. This isn't a problem if you want to flail around the house and make noise while chanting silly phrases to yourself. But if you really want to learn, this will make you worse off then when you started. You will not know how to play along to music, recognize middle eastern rhythms, or improvise your own rhythms to accentuate your dancing.Dolphina's voice really bugs me. She sounds like she has no brains. She tries to impress the viewer by word dropping, talking about opening chakras and such.Some reviewers say "it's just for fun! Don't take it so seriously". It's *supposed* to be an instructional video, not a silly fun-time learn nothing video. Instead it ends up being the later of the two. So, if you don't really care about learning to dance properly, and you would like a video that's silly and full of Hollywood flare, maybe this is for you. Or, if you thought (think?) bellydance is just for turning on men instead of a difficult and complex art form, I'm sure you will find this video fits your quick-fix needs. (PLEASE do not advertise this as real bellydance, because it makes us real dancers look bad) However, if you REALLY want to learn bellydance, this is NOT for you. Why learn bellydance from someone who can hardy do it? Find a teacher if you can. If not, Veena and Neena are better. You might also try Atea for basic moves, or Mesmera for finger cymbals.
