Very nice tribal DVD by Asharah




I like this DVD, watch the preview teaser and be impressed!

One of the signature features of Asharah's dynamic and futuristic dance style is
strobing, ticking, and robotic accents and freezes creating an impression of non-human, mechanical precision. In the "Modern Tribal Movement" section (30 min.) Asharah teaches this powerful and unique style of accent execution by breaking upper and lower body bellydance movements first into three and then into four segments, drilling each at accelerating speeds. Regular work using the conditioning exercises and drills from the previous sections of the program will make your body move with Asharah's clockwork precision!


In the choreography section Asharah first demonstrates the six combinations that together make a dance, then breaks down each combination step-by-step. The choreography integrates bellydance technique and modern tribal movement taught earlier in the program.

A calming cooldown (8 min.) concludes Asharah's instructional program to help recenter and relax the body.


The DVD also contains two performances by Asharah, displaying her dramatic and futuristic dance style, that takes tribal fusion bellydance into a new realm.

there is a link to download this DVD torrent, not put up by me, but a torrent user:

DINA-SEMIRAMIS.

http://s159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/carolrahbari/?action=view¤t=DINASEMIRAMIS.flv
This is the real Dina, there are many wannabee copycat dancers but there is only one (uno) Dina and she is a Goddess!!

DaliladeCairo.flv

http://s159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/carolrahbari/?action=view¤t=DaliladeCairo.flv
Dina?? No a Dina wanabee, she is copying Dina's every move, actually she is Dalila and if she would do her own style instead of trying to copy another dancers arms, body movement, she probably wouldn't be so irritating.

What a shame
