Belly Dance with Veil, taught by Sarah Skinner: Open level bellydance classes, Belly dance instruction, Veil belly dancing how-to.

Tiene información valiosa sobre tips para elegir la tela del velo, hacer entradas con el velo y muchas figuras (básicas -intermedias). Esta bien estructurado y nombrado. Se entiende muy bien lo que explica, incluso así no se entienda completamente el idioma.

Sarah is very good at giving directions and then putting together little routines for their use while belly dancing. I love to use the veil while dancing.

This is the best money I have ever spent on an instructional DVD, and the first time I have been compelled to write a review. I teach belly dance and am always looking for new, fresh ideas. Sarah covers more moves, with more variations than in any other DVD I've bought. They usually offer the same old moves, and I feel I've wasted my money. Sarah offers way more content than what is typical for these instructional DVDs. With this one, not only did I see some moves I never had before, but she shows and breaks down several moves I've never seen outside of a studio situation. She also offers some different variations on some common moves. All of her instruction is clear and easy to follow, but she doesn't spend a huge amount of time on one thing, to the point where you get bored. I only wish that she had a dozen or so videos available! Sarah is a lovely dancer, and if you like to dance with a veil, this is a fantastic addition to any one's dance repertoire.

This is one of a few DVDs that I have purchased for myself and the one I like the most so far. Sarah is very thorough in explaining and breaking down the technique to work with your veil and to apply that into your performance. Every veil section has a short dance where you can see what it looks like to music. Some veil techniques are a little tricky so there is everything here for beginner to advanced dancer. You can really spice up your repertoire with the technique here because it covers more than the basics that you would learn in a regular belly dance class. There is also a handy section about what to do if you have a mishap during performance. This DVD is also filmed with high quality standards and on a real nice setting, not like the crappy ones that keep getting mass produced by popular dancers.

This veil instructional video is rich in content, presented in user friendly fashion, uncovering great veil tricks, basic veil wraps and wonderful rumba steps. The music is incredible and the choreography is a great bonus at the end. Sarah Skinner is awesome, I admire the quality and substance of her work and presentation of material.In content, this program presents much more than many veil seminars I have attended which focus on the dancer,with few moves or tricks.This is truly a seminar in itself presented just for you! Learn about fabrics traveling steps, rumba, basic, arabesqueturning and varying speed veil swtiches cascades veil wrapsending the dancerecovering the veil during an inapportune mishapThis program is beyond educational, it is enjoyable and rewarding. Find yourself drifting away with your beautiful veil, a pliable, invisible, flowing, dance partner at your command, lured away by the enchanting music of Mr.Burhan Ocal.

This DVD is an encyclopedia of veil technique. The moves are broken down well into understandable chunks and the sequencing is quite good, well-thought out and organized. But . . .a major problem is the presenter's babbling. About every 30 seconds she says something incoherent and obnoxious if you really listen. She needs a dialog coach or an old-fashioned English teacher to correct things like, "There is many variations, here is a few." She sounds like a grammatically-challenged hillbilly. Unfortunately the DVD doesn't work without the sound and it is distracting to hear the string of bloopers, you wince and feel like turning it off or throwing something at the TV monitor.To conclude, if you can ignore the obnoxious bits, buy this DVD for the technique value.

I purchased this DVD after viewing Turkish Bellydance and I have to say that I found Sarah to be a Great performer and also a very creative costume designer and photographer,all fields familiar to me, viewing her tutorial about veils and techniques where to buy and how to work with them reminded me of my years in Fashion Design classes and she KNOWS her fields very well documented always begins her tutorials with an Historic background and lots of good tips that takes you beyond the DVD itself. The veil work is flawless, mesmerizing and she breaks it down step by step and repeats so you don't feel that you need to be perfect the first time I would recommend this DVD to anyone interested in discovering the mysteries of the veil ...I did and now I want to swish and dance even with my cortains if they are sheer enough lol.

I LOVED this DVD. Sarah Skinner covered a large amount of variety of material relating to veil dance. She talked about everything from selecting the material and size of your veil to basic and more advanced steps, veil mishap recovery, and choreography. She did a wonderful job breaking down the different moves and given plenty of time to practice each, then putting several moves learned in sequence to really show how to use them for choreography. She capped it off with a wonderful dance in full costume, then took each part of that apart to teach the viewer, so they would have a complete dance when done.The only disappointment was that the video technical quality was not so good. My DVD begin skipping and stopping after viewing only a few times, and did the same on other players/my computer.

Questo dvd è veramente fantastico! Tutte le sezioni sono ben organizzate e molto ricche di contenuti sia teorici che pratici.Anche per me che non conosco bene l'inglese è di facile accessibilità. In italiano purtroppo non c'è niente che regga il confronto. Bello, bello,bello!!!!

I found this video very helpful. I especially liked that Sarah discussed the different fabrics that veils can be made with and the importance of weight if you want a veil that moves gracefully. This is the best video for camera work too. Most videos waste time zooming in and out and they zoom in too late or too early and you never really see what's going on. In the video, the camera stays in the same spot and I like that. The instruction was very good as well. I would really recommend this DVD to beginners such as myself. I plan to buy her other video as well.

I bought this DVD, as I was struggling with the veil dance I was learning in a bellydance class. I wish I'd had it before I started the class, it goes through size, materials, and types of veil, how to hold them etc- all of this stuff is not as obvious as I thought it would be. The movements were very similar to those I learnt in my class, or the same, and there are some great tips on how to perfect them which I didn't know. At the end Sarah goes through strategies for recovering the veil should you lose hold of one side/ drop it etc- easily done with flimsy materials, it's useful, almost comical in places, and very user friendly. If you're going to be doing a veil class in bellydance buy this, quite nice to use if you aren't doing any such class but are just interested in all aspects of bellydance.

私は英語が全部わかるわけではないけれどやってみせてくれるので大丈夫でした見るだけでも楽しいと思います。これを見てヴェール購入に踏み切りましたよ〜。まだヴェールが届いていないのだけど、楽しみです。

Easy to follow. Great content.
