Product Description
Andalee won the hearts of the belly dance community when she won Project Belly Dance, the smash-hit web series that featured dancers from around the world competing for the ultimate prize: the starring role in a Cheeky Girls Productions DVD. This 2-disc set features Project Belly Dance Season 1 as well as Andalee's debut instructional DVD, Musicality Matters. Andalee's DVD uses her unique perspective as both a drummer and a dancer to break down the dynamics of a piece of music. She explains musical concepts such as time signature and quarter notes in an easily digestible lesson. Several Middle Eastern rhythms are also broken down as Andalee shows belly dance movements that are appropriate for each. All of the concepts are demonstrated in action as Andalee teaches a choreography in bite-sized chunks. She doesn't just teach the moves, but she explains what is happening in the music in a way that only a musician can so that the student will understand the intention behind each transition in the choreography. Andalee's patient nature and clear teaching techniques make her an excellent DVD instructor... no wonder Project Belly Dance fans chose her with a landslide 48% of the final vote!
Customer Reviews
I own a lot of Cheekygirls Production DVDs and I always love them, because they are very professional, full of useful information and great value for money.I was a bit disappointed in the content of this DVD. I expected a lot more about musicality and understanding music, but there is only a small introduction about Arabic music and its structure as such, while the most part of the DVD is made up of the choreography explanation. It is a very nice choreography and Andalee is lovely and very good at explaining things, so that's good but I was expecting something different.I was pleasantly surprised by the bonus DVD on Project Bellydance. I was expecting to be a boring reality show, of the type that is all the rage nowadays on TV. Instead I found it interesting, an inspiration and full of interesting tips for belly dancers and fun to watch. Sometimes it tries to be like TV reality shows, but fortunately the result is quite different.
