| | Home | | | | | | | Description: | | On this DVD, I teach how the ability to move fluidly in an organic, connected way begins with an intuitive knowledge that arises when you are sensually awake. Sensuality is your enjoyment of the world and your own physicality as perceived by your senses. When your mind is receptive to physical pleasure, it translates your sensory experience into sensual movement, giving a fluid, languid, mesmerizing quality to your dance. As a form of body language, dance speaks the truth of your thoughts and feelings. In bellydance, sensuality has always been one of the most highly prized qualities. Aware of your sensual joy, your audience instantly knows that you are "comfortable with your body" and enjoying yourself. This allows the gift of your dance to be experienced on a higher, richer level. Sensuality is not a special talent or skill--it is present in all of us. The task is to discover it, cultivate it, and translate it from an internal state to an expressive, easy-to-understand language of dance movement. In Sensual Bellydance, I will teach you how to bring that languid, effortless, intoxicating quality to your dance, through sharing my own ways of expressing sensuality and of adding the flair of sensual grace and ease to every bellydance step you take - from basic to more evolved. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

 The truthSep 26, 2008
This is not a five star dvd I would have to agree with "Lenny" on that one.Mostly because it was boring. I do think there is a lot of content on the video but you have to want to watch it to figure it out and I didn't want to keep watching it. Which was a dissapointment with so many good reviews I thought for sure I was going to love this dvd.
Sensual BellydanceSep 25, 2008
Great instructional DVD...I order this along with Luscious - The Bellydance Workout for Beginners and the Sensual Bellydance is much better for see the movements...the instructor in the work for beginners dvd custom hide a lot of the movements. There are no Belly dancing classes offered in this area so the Sensual Bellydance DVD was a great intro for me.

This is a very nice product. She breaks down the dance nicely and it flows very easily. I have gone over it several times and hope to probably use it in future performances for a shorter solo.

fantastic!Aug 20, 2008
the DVD is fantastic. Blanca explains everything so you're not left wondering what she's doing or how she did it. All the movements are explained and shown. You see her full body so you can see the foot movements along with the arm movements. The pace is slow enough for beginners, yet everyone is able to go with it and not feel too slow. She demonstrates a movement and then builds on it so you're able to see how a whole dance routine can be created and put together. She has beautiful costumes and music. My children enjoy watching it and trying to do it also. She's a beautiful dancer, and she takes the time to explain the why's of a movement, not just the how, like why the dancer's eye contact or lack of can make (insert impression) on viewer. i really enjoyed it. :)
Sensual is Right!Aug 09, 2008
This video has a lot going for it, not the least of which was the price. It was much longer than anticipated. There's a long technique section, a warm up, a short-short shimmy section, and a choreography teaching section. And she repeats the entire choregraphy teaching twice with different camera angles. One shows what her hips and legs are doing and the other shows exactly what her arms are doing (Often skipped in other videos)
The Dances--She does the full dance you've learned without her cueing at the end. Then she does the full dance again plus a couple extra(easy) steps in full dress to slower music. And she does another full dance in full dress to music that has an almost classical style.
The slow sensual style of the dance she teaches combined with the imagery she gives you is a winner. I could definitely imagine doing this dance for an audience of one.
