 A Flashback to my own Belly Dance beginningsJul 30, 2007
By Janie Midgley
"Fabric Artist and Designer"
I enjoyed it a lot, but it might not be for everyone. Obviously a short documentary type movie about the times and Belly Dance - the 70's. For me it was lovely to see again on film, what I remember from my "baby dancer" days. I remember the street dancers, like DeAnn. And scouring the little hole-in-the-wall shops for treasures to add to your costume. I even have LPs of the musician that are playing for the dancers. I was there. I lived it too.
Want to step back in time and see Belly Dance history? This DVD is for you.

 Essential Dance History with some truly amazing performancesMar 13, 2011
By Nancy Harper
This is worth buying just for the footage of the great Burt Balladine who is shown teaching his legendary classes. What a terrific dancer and teacher! Now I can see why he is still worshiped by so many dancers. Amina, one of San Francisco's great stars appears in an extended live performance at the very heigh of her career. You have never seen Taksim like this--she is spellbinding to say the very least!
I also enjoyed the performances by Katerina and Taia, both of whom were apparently just beginning when this film was made. Each of them went on to build impressive careers. Finally, the hypnotic outdoor street dance by sword dancer Deanne is featured and you can definitely feel the excitement she created in her live performances.
These are the legendary stars of the San Francisco dance scene that sprung up around North Beach. I don't know of another place where you can see such performances.
I loved this film and would recommend it to anyone who is serious about belly dance. Professionals wil especialll enjoy the rare Ballendine and Amina segments, which are unique to this lovely film.

 not worth the moneyJul 23, 2010
By wayauwohali
Kinda funny and there were some neat clips but not worth $15 for such a short thing.

 Mixed feelingsFeb 10, 2009
By Margarita
Interesting trip back through time, but rather over-priced for such a short dvd. Still, it is worthwhile for fans of old-style American cabaret dance who are not on a budget.
