Instructional DVD

The Living Series Belly Dancing DVD will help new and experienced dance students gain a solid foundation in belly dance. This comprehensive DVD covers everything from history, costuming and show presentation to technique and choreography. Experienced teacher and performer Laura Selenzi teaches a safe and effective warmup and cool down, a challenging workout, belly dance technique, and a fun an upbeat drum solo choreography; suitable for beginners or higher level dancers who can layer upon the challenging rhythm.

Now available at Little Mysteries Books in Halifax, NS!

Not just for beginners, there is much more than basic technique taught on this DVD. The choreography is challenging, there is a great pilates style workout, information about how to put together a professional show, tips on costuming, history and more. I worked hard to put a lot of well researched info into the DVD, way more than your average instructional video. Any dancer thinking of performing could get a lot from this DVD!
