Putting Faces--and Moving Bodies--with the NamesApr 09, 2012
By Dragon Lady
If you like to read about the history of your dance form, there are certain names you keep running into. This DVD, composed of clips from mainly Egyptian movies from mainly the 1950's, will give you the opportunity to see what some of those dancers you keep reading about actually looked (and moved) like. While the subtitles give you enough info to know who was dancing in what film and what other big names (not necessarily dancers) were involved with the production, as well as when the film was made, there is a drawback. Just when you get interested in the story that seems to be going on around the dance--the clip ends. And while you're watching, unless your Arabic is more extensive than my few words relating to dance, you are likely to be frustrated by the sense that if you could just turn the volume up--or down--or something--you would be able to understand what is being said. The clips themselves are much clearer than some old films I've seen.
A valuable piece of dance historyJan 07, 2012
By Nancy T. Hernandez
This DVD is a must for the dancer/dance historian. It is great to see these icons of Belly Dance in action. Most of us have just seen photos of these dancers.
However, there is a down side to this DVD. I could only run it on my computer, and not on my other DVD players. Therefore, I cannot share this item with my dance students during dance class. Bummer!
