BELLYDANCE - IT'S YOUR SHOW! :: neon
Today a bunch of us worked on one of our fall DVD releases - "Bellydance - It's Your Show!" with Tanna Valentine. We filmed a tutorial on improvising a bellydance costume and a demonstration of glamour makeup design and application.

The concept of the video is to create a fun educational experience for casual dancers and beginners interested in performing a bellydance show for a special event in a circle of friends/family. The video covers all the necessary ingredients: basic bellydance steps and the structure of a mini-show (7 min.) including all the sections of a classic American Cabaret show: entrance, rumba (veil), party song (saidi), ciftetelli, drum solo and exit. The DVD will include tips on showmanship, audience interaction, professional and improvised costuming and dancer's makeup. All the music for the DVD was recorded by Amir Naoum's band - classic festive and evocative bellydance pieces. It will be available for download and on a CD.
This looks so beautiful! What a great idea you two!
