"The Dancer's Companion: Preparation, Drills, & Cool Down" helps develop key areas essential for peak performance and to reduce the risk of injury.
Follow Azhia (2003 Belly Dancer of the Universe) as she demonstrates a practical preparation routine that aids in perfecting what she calls "Basic Shapes"; conditions the arms for strong, elegant lines; and develop smooth transitions from one movement to the next. You can also choose your own pace to work on areas where you specifically need refinement. Throughout the routine, Azhia emphasizes mind-body connection for mindful and powerful dancing.
Intended for those who have a solid foundation of basic Middle Eastern dance vocabulary, "Preparations, Drills, & Cool Down" readies you for rehearsals, teaching, or performing. It can also be used as its own form of dance exercise and challenges you with an introduction to Azhia's "Beyond Basics." Additionally, this DVD features selectable front, rear, and side angles and includes original music tracks. Take this Dancer's Companion with you anywhere to feel invigorated and ready to move!
