I have the privilege of being the first in the world to see the preview to Rachel Brice’s upcoming set of 2 DVDs, Serpentine. And I am thrilled.
I was frankly a bit disappointed with the earlier two releases because one was just too much yoga and the second didn’t give enough after the preparatory phase.
Well, this set of videos is also about preparation and technique. But it also has two whole choreographies! Rachel Brice, looking warmer and friendlier here, says the videos are suited to all levels…right from those who want some of the basic work needed for intense tribal fusion dancing, to those who want to take the dancing up a notch with backbends and strong confident level changes. There’s a yoga section here as well – one third of the whole program, as I gather, and then there’s technique and shimmy drills and adding upper body moves on top of hipwork. Two choreographies at two different levels is amazing as well.
Rachel Brice describes the set of videos as a toolkit of technique elements and classes for consistent progress in dance.
This absolute queen of tribal fusion has worked very hard to get where she is!

totally Turkish with Ruby
Thanks for the alerts on these. They all look interesting! I love working with choreographies. I wonder why there’s a Turkish Drop in one of Sandra’s DVDs though. Does it fit witht he content? Isn’t it dangerous whichever way you look at it?
from what I understand it is a very risky move whether one has had knee issues or not. me having had them I will NEVER risk that move
I guess they included it because it is on few instructionals so far aside Delilah’s old one and maybe on some tribal dvd (RB?).
I love the material covered on Vol 2 though. And since Faddah was my favorite Sandra performance on BDFD so far I cannot wait trying it. I’ll have to practice A LOT though I guess

I’m SO EXCITED about these, especially Ruby’s Turkish video. The moves and styling I saw in the trailer clips were really consistent with what I’ve learned from Artemis Mourat and from the video of Turkish dancers that she showed us.
I’m especially excited that it covers Turkish styling for a song in 4/4. Looking at the videos out there, you’d think that Turkish dancing was all 9/8.
It looks quite advanced though. Still, I’d like to get it!
I love the Rachel Brice stills Mala how cool that dvd sounds
