| | |  | DANCE PERFORMANCES | Home » » Modern Tribal Bellydance | | | | | | | Description: | | Modern Tribal Bellydance opens with a warm up and conditioning section that combines bellydance technique drills with a total body muscle conditioning workout. In Technique and isolations Asharah flows through intermediate drills with a detailed breakdown of each movement. The drill sequences take each movement to the next level step-by-step through accelerating tempo changes. In the hipwork section, Asharah adds weight transfers, traveling steps, and level changes. One of the signature features of Asharah's dynamic and futuristic dance style is strobing, ticking, and robotic accents and freezes creating an impression of non-human, mechanical precision. In the Modern Tribal Movement section (30 min.) Asharah teaches this powerful and unique style of accent execution by breaking upper and lower body bellydance movements first into three and then into four segments, drilling each at accelerating speeds. Regular work using the conditioning exercises and drills from the previous sections of the program will make your body move with Asharah's clockwork precision! In the choreography section Asharah first demonstrates the six combinations that together make a dance, then breaks down each combination step-by-step. The choreography integrates bellydance technique and modern tribal movement taught earlier in the program. A calming cooldown (8 min.) concludes Asharah's instructional program. The DVD also contains two performances by Asharah, displaying her dramatic and futuristic dance style, that takes tribal fusion bellydance into a new realm. The instructional program is set to world electronic music by Maduro, and also features songs by breakcore and experimental artists Venetian Snares, Hecate, and Cdatakill. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

Superb Teaching DVD for Modern Tribal Fusion DanceMar 20, 2009 In this 180 minute instruction DVD, you get expert and detailed training by internationally acclaimed teacher and dancer Asharah, who demonstrates with precision and explains with clarity every movement. Tribal Fusion is difficult as it takes controlled strength and suppleness. I find in watching Asharah, it's her back that always amazes me. It has the strength of steel and the fluidity of a lava lamp.
This DVD begins with a "Welcome," then a 45 minute intensive warm-up, strengthening and stretching for what lies ahead. It is followed by a 55 minute tutorial of traditional belly dance techniques, and then 30 minutes of the robotic movements that make up the modern tribal style. This section has to be practiced a lot! You have to have excellent muscle control to master these movements.
The dance combination is broken down into 6 sections for easy learning of the choreography, which is a mix of modern tribal and classic belly dance. Finally there is an 8 minute delicious yoga based "Cool Down" to relax and stretch out your muscles. Asharah is very agile but we can do these movements at our own level of flexibility, and benefit a lot.
There are 2 performances where we get to see Asharah in costume and showing us her grace and artistry. The music used on the DVD is by Maduro, Cdatakill, Venetian Snares, and Hecate. The production is good and well lit, on a bare stage in front of a green curtain (except for 2nd performance when it is red). If you want to learn the technique of modern tribal fusion dance, you can't do better than this DVD.
More Athletic than You'd ThinkMar 10, 2009 I didn't really expect to break a sweat while working through this video, but it was challenging, in a good way. I'm just getting started with Tribal style bellydance, so my arms got very sore! I can see myself getting stronger and more graceful as I progress through this dvd. Love the performances, too. Very inspiring!
so much content!Mar 07, 2009 This DVD is so meaty you will be using it for quite awhile. This is also a tough workout! Usually after the warm-up and conditioning I am ready for a snack ;-) I don't think this video is appropriate for someone who doesn't have an exercise routine already because even the warm up requires stamina. I love all the content packed into this DVD. I appreciate the section on the short ticking movements. This is something I haven't encountered in another DVD. The drills are challenging enough to keep me busy but not hard enough that I give up. I'm trying to think of something I don't like on this video and there really isn't anything. She is a bit stiff (in speech, not in her dancing) in front of the camera it seems but it doesn't affect the work you are doing. This is another video that is completely worth the money.
AMAZINGFeb 12, 2009 In english:
This is an excellent DVD and I strongly recommend it; it achieve perfectly his goal which is to provide a technique practice companion and a guide to developing skills.
Asharah did a great job with this very complete program , explaining very clearly the technique with all the information needed on what muscle to use, body alignment, where to place weight, do's & don't... The "technique and isolation section" is easy to understand but it's a working hard program. I especially liked the way of every move is worked with changes on weight and level. I also really liked the "modern tribal technique section" where I could finally bare secrets on how to do some robotic moves. I enjoyed a lot the choreagraphy and the performance at the end of the DVD.
Asharah is an awesome dancer, elegant, precise, gracefull with energy and power. I hope that there will be another DVD from her in the near future.
En français:
Le propos de ce DVD est d'être un outil d'entraînement pour faire travailler la technique des différentes isolations utilisées dans la danse orientale tribale fusion par des séries d'exercices, mais également d'être un guide ou comment développer son adresse et son vocabulaire
Voilà un excellent DVD, je le recommande vivement.
Asharah explique de façon claire er concise la technique mais aussi ce qu'il faut faire et ne pas faire, les muscles sollicités, le placement du poids du corps, etc...
La partie « "technique and isolation section" est facile à comprendre mais néanmoins vous travaillerez dur. J'ai spécialement aimé la façon dont les différents mouvements étaient travaillés avec des changements de niveaux et de placements du poids du corps.
La partie « modern tribal technique section » vous fera découvrir enfin la technique pour avoir des mouvements dans le style robotique.
Et enfin j'ai été émerveillée par la grâce, la maîtrise, la précision, l'énergie d'Asharah dans les 2 performances à la fin du DVD.
J'espère vivement qu'un autre DVD d'Asharah suivra dans le futur, je suis conquise.
En español:
Aquí tenemos un excelente DVD que se propone de hacernos trabajar la técnica de la danza tribal fusión con varios ejercicios, pero también nos guía para que podamos desarrollar nuestras aptitudes y nuestro propio vocabulario.
Lo recomiendo absolutamente.
Asharah explica de forma muy clara y precisa la técnica pero también y es muy importante las cosas que hacer y no hacer, donde poner el peso del cuerpo, que muslos se solicitan...
La parte « "technique and isolation section" es sencilla de entender pero hace trabajar bastante duro. Me ha gustado mucho la forma de trabajar los movimientos con cambio de nivel y del peso del cuerpo.
En la parte « modern tribal technique section » se descubre como hacer los movimientos como un robot.
Y finalmente he sido encantada por la gracia, la maestría, la precisión, la energía de Asharah en los 2 bailes al fin de DVD.
Espero que Asharah producirá otros DVD en el futuro, ha mi me ha conquistado.

good drillingFeb 07, 2009 I purchased this to see what fusion dancing looked like. Very long dvd. Very good for practice strength and drilling the basic moves. My arms got the best work out. NO pops and locks. Good for muscle memory. NIce warm up. If You are looking to get an idea about tribual fusion and a workout this will be a nice selection.
