5/5 One of the best dvds ever!
  by Marco Tomatis (Italy)
This is the first time I've ever seen Anasma and I've fallen in love with her dancing! It was also a bargain: two great dvds for a great price. There's so much material - tons of moves to learn! If you love tribal style bellydance this dvd is for you. Anasma teaches you a lot of movements blending bellydance and hip hop. From her you can learn a lot of secrets about tribal fusion bellydance. In particular: tutting, popping, strobing, dimestopping...
Highly recommended!

5/5 Push the boundaries - and yourself!

Do not buy this unless you are prepared to challenge your preconceptions of what Belly dance can be. This DVD is awesome, if you are willing to put the time in, and have the background knowledge necessary to WORK IT! I would definitely recommend a grounding in either Bellydance or Hip Hop movements and isolations prior to using this DVD.

Other reviews go into more detail about the content. Suffice to say that there is a lot of it there, and much of it was new and exciting for me. I am still working through the sections in detail, and will continue to repeat parts I'm still getting the hang of until I'm happy with how the movement looks on my body. But so far, so good!

As an instructor, Anasma is charming, quirky and expressive. She has boundless energy and a very cute accent (which includes some frenchisisms in her speech!) She does sometimes bumble in her explanations, but if you're not a newbie to dance, then you can go with the flow and just follow along without any trouble. I found her personality addictively inspiring. Made me want to watch more and do better.

I love the look of this fusion. I love the energy and creativity that she puts into it, and I love that I'm learning how to Moonwalk. How cool is that?





4/5 I like it
  by Helena Li
I like the dancer, very sweet. I like the stretching exercise. I like the way she treats and teaches, giving an expression they are very easy. I like the many different combos and drills and hip hops......

However, I don't use it as often as other DVDs because there is so much that I cannot focus. I like something that I can work on and challenge myself, intense, sharp and hard, so after a few months, my everything improves and then I will move on to other DVDs.

Therefore, if she teaches fewers things and makes us drill harder on each one so that our muscles will remember them, that will be perfect in my humble view.

4/5 new bellydance

This dvd could be perfect if the teacher was not only facing the public. But it's realy great.

5/5 Amazing dvd
  by S. Baumann
This dvd is exactly what I was looking for in a "learn to dance" style dvd. Anasma seamlessly combines two very different styles of dancing in a way that is easy to understand and learn. Whether your style is more for bellydancing or hip hop, Anasma shows you how to approach the other one. Her methods are fluid, graceful, and beautiful and she explains how you can make yours the same. Just watching the demonstrations makes you feel like you can do whatever she can, but the intricacies of the choreography don't leave you bored too quickly. The drills are quick enough to do a few daily and the menu makes it easy to customize your learning process. The dvd is professional, simple, and well laid out. It takes a little imagination to adapt this style to club use or anything besides performance, but the effort is well worth it. I would love to see more videos from Anasma, and would have paid much more than I did for this item.
