Well, I don’t know of too many DVDs where belly work is broken down. Sure, many dancers (Sadie, Princess Farhana, Delilah and others) put in some pointers on stomach work. But remember Johanna ‘Xenobia’ Krynytzky? The one who had all those folkloric steps on ExpertVillage? Well, she has a series out on belly work. She explains with safety tips and gives you a little drill. To see the instruction in little bits makes it quite a lot more doable, frankly.
Videos on ExpertVillage are a little slow, so you can see the titles there but watch on youtube. Or use RealPlayer or “keepvid” or anything else to download it and use it to make up a stomach routine after your daily warm up.

The Yahoo video group is sometimes active, sometimes quiet. You get to know about new videos. You get to pick up some cheaper if someone’s selling. It’s not very tolerant of off-topic stuff though just sometimes is okay from old members. It’s quite a supportive group, much like Bhuz lot. Only smaller. I’ve been just about the chief reviewer there, but you already know I’m fond of reviewing.
