Customer Reviews of African Healing Dance
freestyle exercise and mental focus, then it gets hard The thing I really liked about this video was the whole first segment, which is a workout in itself especially for beginners. In that segment, Wyoma encourages you to discover your body and make it into an art. By devoting your spirit to trying to emulate an elephant or different kinds of fire, you are willing to devote more time and energy to working out. There is a spiritual door you can pass through as well and this dance can help you find peace with yourself and your body and your ancestors and the outside world, too.
Just when I thought it was all over, I realized that was just the beginning. The peace kind of dissipated in the *actual* dances. I'm not the most coordinated person out there, and I spent a lot of time tripping over my feet and cussing at the screen. With a lot more effort I might learn the steps and learn how to move my body in ways it's never moved before. And I would like to, but it will probably take a long time.
Fun and different
I bought this tape to inspire me to get a little more exercise. Traditional aerobics bore me, and I've always secretly wanted to be a dancer despite the fact that I'm a complete klutz.
This tape is a lot of fun. The dances are beautiful, and even when I couldn't figure out where to put my feet, I was having fun trying. I loved the opening sequence (the aforementioned wind, fire, elephant moves), and was sad to find out that there was an actual "traditional" warmup. The only warning I have about the dances is that they typically require you to be able to isolate certain body parts (i.e. moving your rib cage, but not your shoulders or hips). If you haven't studied a similar dance style (or bellydancing, which is notorious for that), you'll probably find that a bit challenging at first. It's pretty rewarding if you stick it out.
The tape lost a star for three reasons:
1) there were a few occasions where she was teaching new steps and the camera never went to her feet (and I'm completely uncoordinated in that realm!)
2) I thought the dances could have been ordered (even within geographic regions) so that the more difficult dances came first. The second and third dances have fast foot, arm, and hip movements, while the fourth dance is much more simple. It would be nice to be able to master the easier dances before getting frustrated by the harder ones.
3) I desperately want it on DVD! (This would alleviate problem #2)
i did it once and didn't like it
i can understand how someone freer and more willing to "yeeeyeeyee" might be able to really get into this tape, i found myself turning it off and going for straight up aerobics. it is interesting and informative, but for me, i couldn't get into the exercise part of the tape, which is what i was looking for.
