5.0 out of 5 stars Don't get caught up in "authenticity" -these are GREAT dvds, Nov 12 2003
By A Customer
You can spend all your life trying to learn "authentic" bellydance, and agonize over whether you're doing it JUST LIKE AN EGYPTIAN, or you can be true to your own soul, and bellydance the way YOU dance, not some ancient film star.

If you're a beginner, don't get caught up in the endless argument over what is or isn't REAL bellydance, because it doesn't matter. You should dance to please yourself, to have fun, to be spiritual or sexy- whatever you want from it. That being said, this is a great set of DVDs to learn lots of different moves and combinations.

You don't need previous dance classes to do bellydance, and these 3 DVDs will teach you all you need to know to get out there and express your soul.

Please, if you're new to bellydance, please please please don't be put off by people who say Jillina isn't "authentic." Dance because you love it, not because you're trying to recreate a dance done in egypt in the 50s or whatever. You're going to have way way way more fun doing these DVDs than trying to chase down some illusion of "authenticity."

Bellydance is for everybody: big people, thin people, jazz dancers, uncoordinated people who've never had a dance class in their life! And if you just want to watch a great dancer, Jillina performs on each DVD.

So my advice is, buy these DVDs, relax, don't worry about what other people think, and dance your heart out!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Review from a Non-Player Hater, Jul 2 2004
By LLM "dagoodnurse" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
I have just bought all 3 levels of Jillina's instructional videos. I agree with some of the previous reveiwers reguarding the amount of time she spends on techinques. She does not spend alot of time on each one. However, each move is clearly labeled at the bottom of the screen. This would allow someone that is totaly new to Belly Dance a chance to rewind to what you don't understand. Her explanations were very clear, and performing in front of the mirror was an exellent idea.
One thing that is important for one to keep in mind is that someone that REALLY want's to learn belly dance should suppliment DVD'S with actual dance lessons. In a dance studio, a teacher can give you feed back on what you are doing, and see things that the student can't.
As far as the personal attacks about her race and looks, I could not care less. She could have trees growing out of her face, if she can teach, she can teach. It is my understanding that J has gone to Egypt to study technique. Who was teaching there? Russians?
ALSO RECCOMENEDED:
Neena & Veena the "Beyond Bellydance" Set
BellyQueen "BellyDance Jam"

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of my money, May 17 2004
By A Customer
I was very sorry to have spent nearly $50 of my hard-earned cash on this. I felt that the first (introductory) DVD was impossible to follow, so gave up. Also, the editing style is extremely annoying -- the "wipe" transitions between segments made me motion sick. I wasted my money -- don't waste yours.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great videos, but not the best for brand new beginners
I think Jillina is the best BD in the world. However, this is not the best video for brand new beginners. She doesn't spend much time on each move. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars BAD BELLY DANCING
These DVD's are a waste of money. If you want to see great belly dancing watch videos by Dina, Suzanna Del Vecchio, Soraya, Nourhan Sharif, Dondi, or Lucy. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty good
There were good and bad points about this series. I was glad that it was a real dance class and not mixed into a workout, but it is hard to get over Jillina's plastic look: fake... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The One to Buy
Belly dance videos/dvds are usually expensive and, thinking you're getting a dvd that's going to help you learn the dance, you end up with an exercise aid instead. Read more
