(DVD/NTSC) "Instant BellyDancer 1" is a breakthrough rapid-learning system created by New York star dancer and trend-setting instructor, Neon. This DVD is a new, updated edition of Neon's acclaimed bellydance instruction classic: "Instant Belly Dancer: Curves."

To make belly dance easy to learn from video and fun to practice as an improvisational art, the "Instant Bellydancer: A Crash Course in Belly Dance" video DVD series presents the "3D" or "Instant" belly dance instruction system, showing dance moves as trajectories following 2- and 3-dimensional shapes. Animated onscreen graphics superimposed on Neon's moving image effectively interpret movement angles and directions, promoting accelerated learning. Grouping of movements into clear-cut categories enables easy recall of dance patterns when improvising. In addition to basic steps, the DVD features moves and combinations that go far beyond the basics.

The Instant Belly Dancer System

Here it is, at long last: A consistent SYSTEM of bellydance instruction. The INSTANT BELLY DANCER SYSTEM helps you learn - and learn fast - by presenting bellydance movements as trajectories following geometric shapes. See instant belly danc diagrams used in the video.

This INSTANT method is based on the mnemonic principle: A visual and systematic approach stimulating memorization of the belly dance vocabulary and encouraging freedom, creativity and individuality in combining dance moves.

With this systematic approach, you can structure your own learning program. From the very beginning you will see the possibilities of movement within this genre of dance. You will quickly learn which moves are easy for you, which require more work, and which moves look best on you, given your body type.

By focusing on sequences of geometric shapes, directions and dimensions, you will learn to improvise more quickly than you ever could through random learning of the traditional belly dance combinations. In no time you will know how to alternate body regions to generate similar or contrasting trajectories, develop an awareness of dance flow, and create your own unique dance silhouette.

Belly dance - ancient language of beauty and feminine power, modern rite of celebration, freedom from the ordinary. Transform your mind and body. Bellydance... and be amazing!

Belly dance movement is organic, deriving from the natural, instinctual motion of the human body. Bellydance productions by WorldDance New York are designed to introduce you to bellydancing as art, entertainment and as a form of exercise. Dance is the fun way to pursue your weight loss goals, get in shape - and stay in shape.
