Winter Break Reviews - World of Bellydance

The second performance DVD Bri got me was World of Bellydance. This DVD contains 12 performances by various belly dancers from around the world. Though I had not heard of all of them before hand I was quite pleased with the performances presented. The DVD is obviously the filming of a live show featuring cabaret soloists. There is not a single group number of tribal/tribal fusion piece in the collection.

The dancers are all skilled, the costumes beautiful and the most of the music was songs I've considered choreographing myself. The camera angles are almost always focused on the right areas of the dancers, most shots show at least hips through face and many of them are full body.

There is a nice variety of performances including, a couple of single veil routines, a double veil number, a sword dance a two drum solos. I enjoyed the quality, quantity and variety of the performances enough I've looked into what else has come out of the same studio and added a few more performance DVDs to my wishlist, maybe I'll get a couple of them for my birthday next month.
