| Wings of ISIS Choreography to Nebiditi Manain Alhakia | ||||||||||||||||||||
| by Brothers of Baladi | ||||||||||||||||||||
| This DVD was filmed in Bali, Indonesia. Due to circumstancial difficulties the audio and video production are not the best, (similar in quality to a clear VHS) but it is adequate for learning Wings technique and a rich choreography to this beautiful musical composition. All the combinations are filmed from the front and back and a clear break down of the steps are given before applying those moves to each segment of music. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The full choreography is performed in costume with the Wings, and in exercise attire with and without the wings so that the steps and arm movements are clearly visible. Each chapter is introduced with a unique and exquisite photo of Bali and a sample of Balinese music. The song used in the choreography is traditional Middle Eastern. 86 min | ||||||||||||||||||||
