Product Description:
Modern Tribal Bellydance opens with a warm up and conditioning section that combines bellydance technique drills with a total body muscle conditioning workout.
In Technique and isolations Asharah flows through intermediate drills with a detailed breakdown of each movement. The drill sequences take each movement to the next level step-by-step through accelerating tempo changes. In the hipwork section, Asharah adds weight transfers, traveling steps, and level changes.
One of the signature features of Asharah's dynamic and futuristic dance style is strobing, ticking, and robotic accents and freezes creating an impression of non-human, mechanical precision. In the Modern Tribal Movement section <30 min.> Asharah teaches this powerful and unique style of accent execution by breaking upper and lower body bellydance movements first into three and then into four segments, drilling each at accelerating speeds. Regular work using the conditioning exercises and drills from the previous sections of the program will make your body move with Asharah's clockwork precision!
In the choreography section Asharah first demonstrates the six combinations that together make a dance, then breaks down each combination step-by-step. The choreography integrates bellydance technique and modern tribal movement taught earlier in the program.
A calming cooldown <8 min.> concludes Asharah's instructional program.
The DVD also contains two performances by Asharah, displaying her dramatic and futuristic dance style, that takes tribal fusion bellydance into a new realm.
The instructional program is set to world electronic music by Maduro, and also features songs by breakcore and experimental artists Venetian Snares, Hecate, and Cdatakill.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Tribal for Everyone
This instructional video makes tribal-style belly dance accessible to those who may be "freaked" out by other videos.Ashara's broad and extensive dance training is evident in both her instruction and performances She is proof that you do not have tattoo yourself up or have dreads to be an intriguing tribal fusionist.Her instructions are clear and broken down into manageable bits. The section on ticking is unlike anything I have seen in other videos, and her explanations of more traditional moves ... Read More
Rating: - just what i wanted
There are some great detailed reviews here already (thankyou bellydancing community for taking the time - you are all fabulous!)
I agree with what everyone else is saying - the three star and the five stars! I guess it depends on what you want, and serious drilling was it for me. But absolutely - be warned, she is strong and flexible and I for one cannot do her warmup without making modifications, which she doesn't give you. If you have done some yoga I think you could work it out for yourself. ... Read More
Rating: - Great workout, and learn ticking, strobing, robotic movement
Other reviews have covered how great the workout is, and how clear the instruction is.I love the way Ashara combines the smooth buttery moves with the locking and ticking.She blends them into a textural experience.That said, even if you don't like the way the dance looks, this will increase your muscle/body control.I loved the performances and the workout.
Rating:  - SERIOUS reservation
A friend of mine wanted me to check this video out.I have been dancing for about ten years--I don't do tribal, so I was kinda curious to see what this style was all about.
Asharah, let me say right off the bat, is one SERIOUSLY in shape lady. Your shoulders will be killing you if you even think of doing the whole video in a straight run through. (I do Lebanese--we don't hold our arms forward as much--ouchie!)
However, she doesn't seem to have any real credentials in exercise ... Read More
Rating: - exquisite dance performances
I agree with the above reviews that this tape has incomparable warmup, drills, and combinations.However, I would like to comment on Asharah's exquisite dance performances.She is clearly based in classical Egyptian and Turkish styles, as well as tribal styles, and the fusion gives a real depth to her performances.This can also be seen in her two performances on the Gothic Bellydance video.Her arm and hand movements are a beautiful fusion of all of these styles.
