I love tarot and bellydancing too! Thank you for sharing. The woman that dances to Justice is one of the best I have ever seen. It looks like the DVD is a pre-order on Amazon, February 23. I am looking forward to it.
"Too theatrical" - :shaw:: More theatre!BelovedK said:I actually have a 3 of Swords dance plotted out, I probably won't perform it until this summer though because it isn't appropriate for the 2 haflas I have coming up, too theatrical.
I was so excited when I saw that Word Dance NY was coming out with this
I'm so happy to see more Tarot/dancers here!!! YAY!!!

Sinduction said:Wow, I'm surprised at all the praise for this. I found the choreography completely lacking and I wasn't impressed by most of the dancing or the costuming. Although, I've been dancing since I was 5 so I am a bit difficult to impress. I look heavily at technique, form, and choreography and this video, for the most part, just falls short of all three.
Irina, as Justice, performed well, but I absolutely hate when dancers get down on the ground to dance, just a peeve of mine, I think it looks cheap unless it's done right. But dancing while balancing a sword on your head does take skill. I also liked the woman with the giant green thing on her head, could have done without the light-up outfit though. I also really liked the skulls on the backs of the heads but the rest of the costuming for that one was so blah. It was also very nice to see a male solo dance!
I don't understand the short black dress costume with the Kenny G guy and the Devil really bothered me too.
Overall, I'm so unimpressed that I won't be purchasing it.
It's a shame because I was really looking forward to this one. But by the sound of it, we could make our own with ATers! Now that, I would pay for!
Sinduction said:$15 isn't all that much but I wonder what shipping costs. If I saw it in a store I might pick it up just to see it. I'd rather rent it though!
