IAMED Award Winner 2003, “Best Instructional Belly Dance Program on Video or DVD”

For intermediate and advanced dancers. In this program we look back at a spontaneous choreography, deconstruct it, and squeeze the juice from its kernels to nourish our growth and understanding of bellydance. As we view this instructional companion to Fire at the Iao, we find ourselves observing the science behind the magic and art of bellydance.

One five minute section of the live Iao concert performance is carefully broken down into seven instructive lessons with approximately 48 different bellydance moves. Even non-dancers will find this highly original instructional program fascinating and illuminating. This program was shot with 2 cameras during the live concert at the Iao Theater and 3 cameras at American Productions studio for the instructional program. A Retro Choreography is a very well produced presentation we know you will enjoy.
