Great to have a dvd where the movements are repeated long enough to actually get into them and tone the muscles you're using! it doesn't look like a workout but it does make you work!! (30 mins of arm movements in one go!?) it feels just like in BD class where you repeat and variate one movement for several minutes before moving on to something else. Leila's style is relaxed, sympathetic and fun, she explains everything in detail and constantly reminds you of important details while doing the exercises.
The dvd has literally HOURS of of material. I've had it for months and come back to it to exercise certain movements when i feel i'm stuck somewhere .I haven't even got to the integrated movement or dances to follow but i'm already entirely satisfied with this ..
Visual and audio quality is just perfect, setting interesting enough but not distracting, dvd menu gives easy access to chapters ..
It is egyptian style, which is not entirely what my BD class teacher does, but knowing that you can easily adapt the exercises to your own needs (ex more bent knees or other arm poses like in tribal style etc is easy to integrate in this)
I would recommend this to every beginner for home practice as it's incredible value for money, is not intimidating or discouraging, contains HEAPS of exercises and allows you to go through big sections of it or just review a certain chapter.

I found this DVD by chance and realised it was by a well known American dancer currently performing in Egypt. It's not very often you get a DVD like this, i.e. by someone who dances modern Egyptian style, has made a name for herself in Egypt, and is using good filming technique, clear directions, etc.
For anyone past Beginner level the DVD is of limited use, unless, like me, you are interested in looking at different teaching styles. However, if you are a Beginner and taking current classes, this is a DVD that will demonstrate how oriental dance is currently being performed in Egypt. If you can't afford a trip to Egypt, or to one of the festivals where the top name Egyptian stars are teaching, do yourself a favour and buy this one. Don't be put off by the "have fun, feel great" and "transform yourself" labels on the cover - this one is not a fitness DVD but a genuine dance instructional one.

Seems to be good...
The little I've seen of the DVD seems to be good, but unfortunately I've not got far with it as I find it most disruptive that the DVD stops between each track! Read more
