Michelle of Bowie, Maryland, created a funny song to help her
students remember the steps of the first drum solo choreography
taught in Jenna's Heartbeat of Bellydance DVD. She was kindn enough
to share it with us, and we would like to share it with you !
Perhaps it can help you or your students learn the steps and have
fun with it! Here it is....!

NEW!!!
Bellydance: The Next Level
Transitions, Turns & Layers
(Intermediate-Advanced
Instructional DVD)
with Jenna
This
DVD includes a warm-up, three practice routines, and two
choreographies.
This
DVD is now in stock & ready to ship!
Are
you ready to take your bellydance to The Next Level?
You’ve mastered the basic movements, and now it’s
time to dance! Most of the subtleties and nuances that
show an advanced level in the art of bellydance are best
learned by repetition-- the optimal way to achieve grace
and fluidity, and to reach the comfort level of a professional
dancer. The Next Level includes three sets of
drills that, with repeated practice, will bring
an ease to the more difficult movements and layers that
add texture and dimensions to your dance. The program
begins with a warm-up, and continues with the Hipwork
and Upper Body Layering sections, each of which flow through
variations of the standard isolations and undulations,
adding layers such as shimmies and level changes, which
will increase your control and range of motion over time.
Explanation in these sections is minimal -- here you will
learn by actually dancing!
Turns can be a challenge, but will bring an exciting and
beautiful dimension of movement to your dance performance.
Jenna breaks down some of the more dynamic and
complex turns in a methodical, easy-to-follow
manner. The turns are then arranged in yet another drill
that walks you through each turn first, so that, with
practice, you can feel totally comfortable adding them
to your repertoire.
Jenna’s two original choreographies
will give you a chance to implement many of the layers,
turns and transitions you’ve practiced in the rest
of the program, stringing them together into beautiful
dances that you can make your own – add your personal
style, express yourself, and have fun! The process offers
more than just the end product of complete dances to perform
– by learning the detailed sequences within each
dance, your body will automatically become accustomed
to many of the transitions used in bellydance to smoothly
get you from one move to the next. As these transitions
become second nature, you should find yourself bringing
new movements and increased confidence to your dance improvisation
as well. The first choreography, set to an upbeat saiidi-style
piece with a short drum solo section, features percussive
accents and shimmy layering. The second choreography is
a solo oriental piece rich in musicality and filled with
delicious details. Jenna performs each dance for you in
different costumes, then breaks each combination down
step-by-step with periodic repetitions, finally demonstrating
the entire choreography facing the mirror so that you
may follow along as if you are right there in the studio!
A cool-down is included to gently relax your muscles after
you dance.

"This practice dvd is top quality and is a keeper.
I am very well beyond pleased. I must say that everything
in the video has answered so many questions I had before!
As usual, like on your other two instructionals the drills
were well explained making them easy to follow no matter
how challenging they may be. That's the main thing I loooove
about your instruction style, and that I can tell that
you are putting a TON of love & detail on what you
do. It's the kind of instruction that makes me say AND
feel that I CAN DO IT!" -EB,

Basics and Beyond DVD:
Techniques for a Solid Foundation
(Beginner
Level Instructional DVD)
with Jenna
This
2 hour 20 minute instructional DVD is designed to introduce
a wide range of basic movements and serve as a lasting
companion to your bellydance journey!
Instruction:
First Posture and Basic Arms are addressed,
truly the building blocks of beautiful dancing. After
a short Warm Up, isolations, accents, circles,
figure 8's and undulations of the hips, torso, shoulders
and arms are each methodically broken down & explained.
Like a thorough workshop, this extensive section will
introduce the Basic Moves & Compound Moves
for you to repeat & practice. Basic Footwork
is also included, providing the steps in their simplest
forms so they are easiest to absorb.
Practice
Combinations :
Once you've gotten some of the moves under your belt,
you can start working on the five Practice Sessions:
Upper Body, Lower Body, Smooth Compound Moves, Traveling
Combinations & Hands & Arms (includes Cool
Down). You can use them one by one to focus on mastering
different areas of the dance, and you can also combine
them all together with the Warm-Up as a great 30-minute
workout session that will improve the style and finesse
of your dancing each time. If you can't follow all the
steps right away, don't worry, you can always refer back
to the instructional portion for review and keep building
up your vocabulary of movement!
Performance:
The
DVD offers a short dance by Jenna and some of her fantastic
NYC students. The choreography was created by Jenna for
her beginner classes to encompass different movements,
accents and basic transitions, but these girls turned
it into much more than an exercise! You can follow along
& dance it too! The song "Layla" is from
"Bellydancing for Fortune & Fame", available
for purchase below.

A
customer writes...
"Your instructional in The Heartbeat covers so much
that is a learning book for those of us who love bellydancing.
The rythms demonstrated by Raquy Danziger in the drums
and yourself in the practice makes such a difference in
understanding a dance choreography as we recognize the
different beats. Your professional approach makes it so
easy to learn and motivates beginners, like me, to practice,
practice, practice until reaching perfection so to speak.
But I am sure that everybody beginners, intermediates,
and pros find your video a wonderful source of learning
as well asÊenjoyable." H.C., Philadelphia
