I am thinking of getting some more videos from this dynamic pair. I have Beata's older drum solo and shimmy techniques and LOVE them. Does anyone have any comments to share on the Baladi or Shamadan video (both by Horatio)?

Have you ever tried to order videos directly from them in Germany? Seems like it might be a tad bit complicated. -

Wed, February 21, 2007 - 9:15 PMNo, I have always gotten them through Dahlal. I would like to try sometime, though. If I run into complications, it will give me an excuse to write and chat with Beata or Horacio!
I used a very old video that Horacio produced about 10 years ago in my class tonight. We went through his entire warmup, which is much more than a warmup, really, incorporating many isolations. I skipped over the choreography and went directly to his costumed performances, some of my very favorite. In the second number, he is wearing the most gorgeous torso drape that I have ever seen! With beautiful satin harem pants, drawn up at the knees, with slits down the front and a long tassle on his belt. The range of emotions on his face during this song with all its rhythm and mood changes is astonishing. I wish that I could share it with you all. Has anyone else seen it?

Tue, May 27, 2008 - 1:21 AMhi there!
actually, i do not think orderin from germany will be complicated..
i order from north and south america A LOT. delivery takes between a week and 3 weeks, delay is almost always due to custom taxes and official stuff.
that s the one disadvantage from orderin overseas in any direction: custom taxes, of about 30% of the value in your home currency.
you can always ask if they can declare it a gift.. most american dancers do this favour for ppl appreciatin their dvds or cds.
i cannot judge whether beata and horacio will want to do this..
and one major advantage for us over here, and major disadvantage for US americans orderin from europe: the exchange rate renderin US products for us extremely cheap (i recently ordered tons of dvds :))) and relatively expensive for you..
but maybe they can outright give you a good dollar price, rather than you payin in euros and then experience a bad surprise when your credit card bill arrives..
by the way amina, i got curious when i saw your thumbnail picture because like me you seem to enjoy privacy on the tribe forums.. you look gorgeous on your pictures, especially the one where you hide behind the black veil :))
take care

Sat, February 24, 2007 - 9:31 AMI have all of their videos. I think the finger cymbal video is a MUST. I usually get the videos from them when they are in the country.
