On this DVD Fahtiem shares how to put magic into your hands and arms to make your dancing more expressive and graceful.
Fahtiem leads you through a warm-up to prepare for Beautiful Hands and Arms: from your rib cage to your shoulders and down your arms to the tips of your fingers. Then Fahtiem explains and demonstrates basic arm positions and hand and finger placements, including how to maintain correct posture, safe movement, and the difference between Oriental and Folk hand and finger placement.
Fahtiem will show you how to move your arms through space in Air Design to experience and connect the full range of motion of your arms. She'll teach you how to think about what you want your Beautiful Hands and Arms to look like, and how to use resistance and fluidity to achieve different feelings.
You'll also learn Beautiful Hand and Arm combinations and movements, including:
* Diamond Ring
* Painting the Floor
* Reaching for the Stars
* Candle Arms
* ... and more!
Plus a performance by Fahtiem with Beautiful Hands and Arms! | | | Product Details: | | | Average Customer Rating:

 I'm very pleased with this Instructional DVDAug 06, 2006
By L. Vincent
"aspiring dancer"
I purchased Beautiful Hands and Arms Belly Dance Instructional DVD because I am a beginner and I was struggling with presenting my arms in a graceful way. This instructional DVD far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to other aspiring dancers.
Fahtiem's explanations are clear and have enough detail to impart pertinent knowledge without being boring. I anticipate getting long-term use of this DVD as the material covered is varied and extensive enough to continue to challenge and inspire me for many viewings.

 Puts some important arm basics in placeDec 18, 2006
By Mala
Very sweet and endearing in her manner, Fahteim teaches you some important stuff about the way arms are used in belly dance. She goes through nine basic positions, shows you how to move arms in space at different speeds, giv es you some arm designs and throws in some combinations as well. The reason I don't give this video five points though is that the menu system is very nice and mixed up, and overall the video seems to have no replay value after a short while. However, that may be because I didn't get it when I was an absolute beginner. If it's for beginners, it should probably say so. If you've danced for a while, you end up realising some basics--and then you're done. Another reason is that lots of the well-known arm poses are not covered. All said and done though--am I glad I own the video? Yep.

Great basic arms and hands posture for belly dancing.Sep 29, 2011
By Cardona
"Cosmopolitana"
This video gives you a nice hand warm-up and all around exercises to enhance your choreographies. Fahtiem is this sweet soft-voiced dancer with incredibly graceful arms that shares some of those movements and how to incorporate them in your dance. If you are looking for fancy postures, this is not for you, but if you want a good arm and hand workout this is it. The video also includes body warm-up and ways to showcase the use of the movements learned. She sums it up with a small performance that showcases her arms and it does look very nice. Its very pricey for what you get but its better than any other video out there as far as I have researched.

Hands are so important when expressing the dance. This dvd helps show case the body and can direct attention to make your dance more captivating. Fateim is clear and gentle in her approach. A must for all dancers.
