Sarah Does It Again
ITEMS NEEDED:
Heavily Padded Mat
Knee Pads (If you have bad knees)
Balancing tray (optional)
PRECAUTION: If you have lower back or knee problems, please be cautious with the Muscle Conditioning Section
Sarah does a great job of explaining movement and terminology. If you are a beginner, some sections may be challenging if you are not yet familiar with myas, upward figure 8's, and yoga practices. Sarah does a great job with the conditioning portion. I must say, she stepped it up. I really love that she is taking more time to stretch the neck and back.

If you're up for learning some new Saidi movements, the Zeffa rhythm, or floorwork, then this DVD offers all that in small tidbits. You would
This DVD actually contains TWO workouts. First you have the 30 minute dance workout, which I was amazed to see is actually done as a troupe choreography in the Performance section of the DVD. It looked unexpectedly great, since usually exercise...
Simply beautiful....
A well conditioned body is relative to a skilled dancer and essential to any beginner who wishes to improve style and technique in dance. Work outs that incorporate, yoga, belly dance, belly dance floor work immediately intrigue me, so I was eager to begin this program. This program is rich in elements that will surely enhance the dance experience as well as tone the body, which for many, is a particular goal.
The Celebration Workout Program is divided into the following sections:
Celebration workout (with and without voice cues): A lovely upper and lower body flow with feathery hand flourishes, hip shimmies in several variations, a very relaxing cool down. This section works the arms, back and the hips beginning in a gentle flow but get ready for challenges in the shimmy section and then on to the mayas with level changes. Lovely side planks layered with undulations to these are a sensational full body workout.
