Sacred Bellydance
In this beautiful, clear and comprehensive instructional DVD set, interntional bellydance guru Jehan, teaches the complete basic vocabulary of bellydance including an introduction to the veil and finger cymbals. Welcome to an encyclopedia of the core movements… those that must be mastered for every style of bellydance – traditional oriental, Egyptian, tribal, gypsy and modern fusion.Flesh and Spirit unite as Jehan reveals the cosmic wisdom contained in this ancient art, born as ritual and passed down for thousands of years.   Bellydance is the most natural way for a woman to move, no matter what age or weight. Awaken fully to your sensuality and feminine power, as you undulate and shimmy toward a stronger, more flexible and graceful body.Jehan teaches the serpentine undulations, shimmies and vibrations, pelvic contractions and accents that release powerful cosmic forces within.  The circles and spirals the dancer paints with her body are symbols upon which to meditate; whether you dance to feel sexy, for exercise, or to embark upon a mystical journey . . .American-born of Iraqi and German heritage, Jehan has been dancing all her life, performing from the great concert halls of the West to the temples and palaces of the East. Highly trained in both Eastern and Western dance forms, Jehan is revolutionary and innovative in her interpretations while preserving and honoring tradition.  Jehan teaches in NYC and holds workshops around the globe.  Her work as a composer, singer and choreographer for her dance company, Goddessdance, reflects her mission:  to share the transcendent and ecstatic experience of dance with others and place bellydance back on the sacred altar.
