I watched the trailer and I think it looks great for refining your technique and adding an elegant touch to things you might not otherwise think about. It's on my wishlist *salivates

I just ordered it so when it arrives I will post a review.

I took one ballet class last year in my whole life, and I must say, it did help me. Although I looked like a clutz, it help with gracefullness (SP) and weight changes. I might have to splurge (on my monthly budget) and get this DVD. I heard it was good.

I just did this DVD last night--here's the review I posted at Amazon:

Ballet for Belly Dancers provides an excellent addition to a dancer's toolkit for improvement. As illustrated in the DVD, several movements from ballet have been incorporated into belly dance, and drilling those movements individually and in combination is helpful. More importantly, this cross-training in ballet will help a dancer really think about foot patterns and weight changes in the transitions from one step to another. Things I particularly liked about the exercises were the emphasis on graceful arms and the fast yet relaxed-looking footwork. I can see this DVD having a strong positive impact on my dancing.

As with all the Cheeky Girls Productions DVDs I have seen, the camerawork and teaching methodology are stellar, a real "best practices" example for teaching dance via DVD. Brianna is very easy to understand and she breaks down movements well. Her explanations of how to modify ballet movements for belly dance were thoughtful and illustrated her depth of knowledge of each form. The camerawork shows her body very clearly, and I really appreciate the occasional focus in on her lower legs, so that you could really understand the footwork in the combinations.

The inclusion of a performance by Brianna is a nice touch as well, because you can see several of the combinations and movements taught in the choreography in action. All in all, another fine product from Cheeky Girls!
