Sorry Amira, but this video is awful.

It was poorly transferred from VHS to DVD. The production values were poor to begin with. The overall appearance is very grainy. There is no warm up or stretching. The introduction isn't great. Amira is poorly lit and her skin looks pasty and dead white and the high contrast lipstick is completely unappealing. The set looks like a garage sale. The inspirational commentary just comes off as trite and tacky. If this was a buyer's introduction to belly dance you would be completely turned off.

On the redeeming side, if you are an instructor looking to add some stripping moves to your class or a different way to teach camel, this video may be worth checking out. It isn't one I will come back to.

Given that high quality bellydance videos are available in $17 price range, this one should be marketed well under $10.

The title alone is a slap in the face to all serious belly dancers. On her website the video is described as thus: "will teach how to do a sexy improvisation that will mesmerize your lover and encourage passionate experiences you've only dreamed of." This seductress image does nothing to help our dance form. If Amira really loved this dance, she would not insult it by making a video like this.

Once more, it doesn't even accomplish what it says it will. I showed her supposed seductive dancing clip to my boyfriend and all he did was ask "what is she doing?". I told him she was seducing him and he just rolled over and took a nap instead of watching the rest. The dancing is so bad I don't think anyone could get off on it unless they REALLY used their imagination, or had a bad dancing(...).
