Yet another approach to Tribal Fusion...Mar 12, 2007
By Ettell
"ettell"
Good production. Good exercise session with challenging chest and torso (ondulation) moves.
Darshan teaches 3 combinations each with a different dance influence (tribal, world - samba etc.) in which she breaks down the moves involved.
Darshan then puts these moves togethet in a short and straighforward little dance combination which repeats itself automaticaly- that's a brilliant idea for those who might want to keep practising this routine for a while.
Darshan is graceful and teaches very well.
Only drawback: the background used during the dance combinations is a bit hard on the eyes.
The music is modern something or the other, not oriental. Darshan gives a lenghty solo permance at the end, which showcases her particular style of dance.
Overall, worth adding to one's collection of Tribal Styles.

 An OK choice for beginnersMar 13, 2007
By aFoundObject
"designGrrrl"
I bought this DVD with Sera's "East Coast Tribal" DVD to help facilitate my at-home practice and I have to admit that it is dull in comparison. The combos are less than stimulating and the crazy lava-lamp background really is distracting from Darshan's teaching technique. Unlike Sera's smooth, graceful combos, Darshan's seem to be a bit tame and boring. Most of them are variations on ATS movements (arabic hip twist, for one) that you can find on Fatchance DVDs or are small isolation combos that you could feasibly make up at home.
The one that that is amazing on this DVD is her performance pieces. Darshan really is an amazing dancer and well worth watching... but I have to admit that her lovely performance wasn't enough for me to keep this DVD.
I WOULD suggest this DVD for its drills and combos for a beginner, however, since they're simple and clear-cut. However, if you're an experienced dancer who is looking to expand your horizons, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Very Good For IsolationsFeb 25, 2007
By Diana Maria DellaStrega
Finally, a TFBD workout that shows you the intricacies of those isolations! Takes all the Rachel Brice stuff and really breaks it down, gives LOTS of choreography and a really long warmup/drill section that actually makes you feel like you've WORKED. I didn't care for the long, expository, talky bit at the beginning (she's not much of a public speaker) but the rest of the DVD was really good. Could have been lit a little better, the background is very dark sometimes, but that's not too important. I really like that she gives examples of 3 different styles here too. Her dance at the end is intricate and interesting. Overall not perfect but highly recommended.

 Helped Me ImproveApr 20, 2007
By Tamara
I have been taking cabaret classes for 3 years now and this is my first DVD on tribal fusion bellydance. I loved the way Darshan explains how to do the moves in easy to understand step by step break down. She does them slowly at first, explains the use of muscles involved and then does them at full speed so that you can see what it is supposed to look like once the move is mastered. I liked her constant reminders to keep breathing and tucked for I get so involved trying to follow that my form often starts to suffer. True beginners might have a little trouble following along- for example, she doesn't explain what a hip drop is or how to do it. I however, found it fun and easy to follow and I especially improved on my undulations and learned the chest figure eight for the first time.
I also liked the break down of the combinations as well. She built them up slowly so that I could easily memorize them as she went along. I didn't have to keep going backwards on the DVD to see what she did because she repeated learned moves and then added new ones to the combination.
The intro is very informative and interesting. Darshan speaks clearly and has a nice voice, but used the word "um" quite a bit and the camera angle cutting was a little odd. Don't let that stop you from enjoying her dancing, teaching and her performances at the end. Over all, this DVD has a good warm up, helpful drills and some nice combinations that can be incorporated into one's dance. Nice little samples of a variety of moves in 3 combinations with 3 different styles: Contemporary Tribal Fusion, Tribalesque and World Tribal Fusion.
Advanced tribal fusion students might find this a good review, but may end up not getting enough new stuff from it.

Darshan Rocks!!!Mar 25, 2007
By Sobeida
I am a sort of a beginner myself. I bought Sera's DVD too and I found it helpful. However, the way Darshan explains the isolations is so much easier to understand. She really breaks it down and took me to the point I wanted. Although each DVD is very good, in my opinion. If you are a beginner then I would recomend this one too. Nevertheless, if you already are a trained dancer, or an intermedate, then maybe this is not the right one for you.
And of course, Darshan is one gorgeous dancer. Her performance is really captivating (the music, the choreography, her personal style, attitude, etc.).
I would also like to buy the music. That song named 'Klong' is WOW!
