Customer Reviews

Best of Bellydance - in practice - not bad at all
I initially bought this album as something cheap to practice my bellydance steps to. Having said that, this turned out to a good compilation suggesting lots of freedance moves, aswell as the option to practice technique. The artists are famous, and professional dancers have based choreography around their work.

The music often has layered tones...drum for earthy grounded steps with lighter drum, flute or other instruments providing scope for fluid arms, spine and hip circles. Other tracks suggest egyptian walk, veils, shimmy or on the toes work. Having said this, what most tracks have in common is a hypnotic and exciting middle eastern feel to them - you just have to join in. A couple even mimick the noise of a clapping audience as you perform...even if it's just in your own living room or dance workshop.

Belly Good
A good variation of music to add to my growing collection and a bargain price too.

An Ace CD!
As an amateur musician I'm always on the lookout for inspirational rhythms and beats, but to be honest, I was in two minds about giving this CD a try. However, my misgivings were completely unfounded! This CD is absolutely great. All the musicians featured on these tracks are professionals and the wide range of rhythms and beats is enough to satisfy any mood, be it upbeat dance rhythms or slow, hypnotic, retroflective desert beats, so Go On! Kick off your shoes and get dancing! Great stuff!
