Reading a book

   Fri, April 18, 2008 - 1:11 PM
Thanks to Emily's hint I got myself an antiquarian book. From Marta: Fit and graceful through bellydance, because there is obviously good theoretical input. Haha, I am dancing for more than ten years and NEVER ever read anything about it. So this will be my ultimate theoretical arms build-up (looked that up in the dictionary)....

Good books are rare.

been offered to order this one from Zanbaka, what do you think?
seattle.tribe.net/recommend...46f2aad91b
Would it be worth the 49$ + shipping?

Astrid, I wouldn't know, because I haven't read that book. I guess I would try to read a bit of what Zanbaka writes on tribe. And if it's interesting enough for you, you could go for the book.
Yes, good books are rare but that book of Marta's a disappointment. I like rather just writing, but a photobook demonstrating moves is a pain in the butt. Were are the integral parts to make up a choreo? That book is supposed to come with a cassette so there is just a very basic choreo mapped out. The moves are sometimes very basic, sometimes hard to understand by their description and pictures of some moments.
