OK, so finally we did it! We finished Bollywood Dance Vol. 2

If you want it:

(scroll down)

A more detailed description and a trailer clip will follow.
Man, I am so relieved! We filmed the material last April - but inbetween there were some months when we couldn't work on it (too much other stuff going on).

Oh, and of course I already have ideas for 2 other DVDs...
But first I have to sell some of these!

    What would you like me to do first:

    Bollywood Dance Vol. 3
    Anatomy of Step Combinations (Oriental dance)

    I will do both eventually of course...

      What do you mean by the second? What would it be?

        It is a concept that breaks down step combinations to the very basics and then builds up into
        - steps on 2 beats
        - steps on 4 beats
        - various combos on 8 beats

        It's also about transitions, how to analyze other people's combos and how to create your own step combinations.

            Actually, the demand for Lebanese style is just not big enough for me to be motivated for making another DVD...

            I am still sitting on many copies of Vol. 1.
            It sold quite well in the States, but here in Europe, most people are not interested.
            (Attendance at Lebanese style workshops is equally low...)

            It's a shame, but I can't change it.

    It's decided. Bollywood Party Dance is my next DVD.

    I wanted to do this with a male dance partner to get the point across that it's not just a girlie dance. Found the guy, started writing the script.
    Will start rehearsals soon.

    The more we practice in advance, the less work it will be to cut the material afterwards...
