Various Short reviews of
Belly Dancing The Sacred Shapes with The Goddess Dancing
Reviews received from users via email
I am way too old to get pregnant, but
i am old enough to have
several bulged discs in my lower back. Since beginning to belly
dance morethan a year ago, with your dvd because i live wayyyy out in the
boonies, my back has been much better. As long as i belly dance
before house cleaning or any other stressful activity, i don't ache
and hurt later. It also makes a huge difference when i belly dance
before and/or after a long drive. I think that learning the
isolations has strengthened the big and small muscles all along my
spine. It also has helped me become more flexible. My doctor is a DO who is familiar with Belly Dance and he believes me. It is important
with spinal and back problems that you check with your doctor and
hope that s/he is willing to be open minded, think about what belly
dance is and give you an appropriate answer that works for your
body. I think belly dance has made me more beautiful, graceful and
strong. Therefore I am. :-) Jean

Sorry it's taken me so very long to write and
tell you just how much I LOVE the "Belly Dancing the Sacred Shapes" dvd. What a
fantastically inspirational way to learn this incredibly soul-freeing art form!
Through your wonderfully in-depth explanations of how to do the moves presented
and your graceful demonstrations, I've been opened up to an entirely new of way
of seeing and feeling the "shape" of the dance. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
to everyone at the Goddess Dancing for making such a great dvd! May the Goddess
Bless you all!
Blessed be - Joy

Dear Goddesses,
I saw part of the video you sent to Birthing From Within in Albuquerque
yesterday, and bought a copy for myself today.
I've looked at several instructional videos for belly dance over the past few
years, and have been generally disappointed by poor presentation and/or
explanation of the movements. Your video, in contrast, is beautifully thought
out, well presented, easy to follow, and a terrific workout - exactly what I
need. Wahoo! Thank you very much!
Plus - I've just go to say it again - I really love your name.
I enjoy this tape very much and have found it very helpful in
beginning to learn how to belly dance. I also enjoy the Goddess
imagery used throughout. Its a great way to stretch out the kinks
and get ready to face the work day.

I bought this video to learn how to bellydance with and found it
very enlightening. I loved the spiritual descriptions of each
movement, however, did not learn "how" to move as well from this
video as I did from others (Jillians video was the other one I
ordered) I think that this is a good video to learn the 'spirit' of
the dance with, but not necessarily the movements. I would recommend
buying this along with another video, that may not teach the
'spirit' but just the basic moves. I also found the women to be a
little strange, but with good hearts.
I loved the spiritual connection of the dance to the Goddess
rather than learning to perform. Each section is broken down so a
non-dance nonfit person can easily follow. I also loved how the
three teachers were so in tune with each other. I belong to circle
which is moving in that direction so it was a joy to watch.
Review of Belly Dance Instruction tape, March 14, 2006
I chose this DVD because I wanted to multi-task; combining
meditation and exercise. Its harder than it looks!!! They did very
well in how they introduced the movements and I absolutely adored
the use of the Goddess poses and names.
