Sera Solstice – Solar Bellydance, East Coast TribalProduct Details    Actors: Sera Solstice, The Solstice Project    Directors: Sera Solstice    Format: Color, DVD, NTSC, Widescreen    Language: English    Duration : 105 minutesCustomer review on Amazon:With Tribal style Belly Dance in vogue today, I was eager to try ” Solar East Coast Tribal style Belly Dance. ” I knew then I have my work cut out for me! This a total dancer’s workshop packed with technique, combos, and conditioning! Designed for the serious dancer,the technique here utilizes much energy and movement with control, and very well defined precision.The program segments:A fantastic warm up which comprise stretches and lunge variations that are typically used in Sera’s programs. Those of us who are familiar, know that these are a full body workout and intense. The hip work movement is challenging and designed to strengthen as it is layered on releve and plie.Seated moving meditation follows with upper body circular and undulating movement,and leg extensions.Arm work segment follows with intricate weaving and torso involvement. The arms are articulated at every joint and the result is elegant and sinuous. I felt this section moved too fast and will have to repeat it several times.Tutorial and Combo for all four elements:Air, Fire, Water, Earth: Each element is represented in different combos. The movement here is far from classical belly dance! Here Sera Solstice elaborates the trendy and cutting edge styles of industrial, and hip hop fused seamless ly with belly dance in Sera style, which is her remarkable talent. The combos are danced by Sera and dancers with ample repetitions, and followed with step by step demonstrations, taught by Sera. A great bonus is the practice flow segments. These follow with a lovely cool down and closing with Sera and dancers.Performances: 2 solo performances by Sera;1 by Sera and Solstice Ensemble-too rich for common words!Anyone with entry level fundamentals may venture into this program with infectious enthusiasm and work hard to attain the goals that this program inspires. The intermediate student with a love for tribal and its developments will probably benefit most from this extraordinary program. I find myself looking forward to Sera’s programs because they are rich in technique and the choreographies are amazing! Find more about this here:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BDMM2W
