Description:
Bellydance - The Next Level is Jenna's latest DVD for World Dance New York. It offers complete dances to perform, and much more: By learning detailed sequences your body will become accustomed to the transitions used in bellydance, enabling you to shift smoothly from one move to the next. As these become second nature, you will find yourself bringing new movements and increased confidence to your dance improvisation as well.
Jenna's program begins with a warm-up, and continues with the Hipwork and Upper Body Layering sections, each of which flows through variations of isolations and undulations, adding layers like shimmies and level changes to increase your control and range of motion.
Next, Jenna breaks down dynamic and complex turns in an easy-to-follow manner. The turns are then arranged so that, with practice, you will feel completely comfortable adding them to your repertoire.
Jenna's two original choreographies allow you to put together many of the layers, turns, and transitions into beautiful dances you can make your own. Add your personal style, express yourself, and have fun!
The first choreography, set to an upbeat saiidi-style piece with a short drum solo section, features percussive accents and shimmy layering. The second choreography is a solo oriental piece rich in musicality and filled with delicious details. Jenna performs each dance for you, then breaks down each combination step-by-step with periodic repetitions, finally demonstrating the entire choreography facing the mirror so you can follow along as if you are right there in the studio!

Rating: - Excellent instructional DVD
If you are middle to advanced bellydancer, you can, and should have this DVD. It has step by step instructions on turns and transitions, and includes two complete choreography. Excellent DVD, and Jenna is an amazing, beautiful dancer. Congratulations.
Rating: - Learn two whole choreographies and improve your skills with drills
The Next Level: Transitions, Turns and Layers takes up beautifully where Basics and Beyond leaves off. Unlike with many videos, there's no doubt that this is a clear step up from beginner to intermediate (for want of better terms).
You begin with a challenging warm up. I've seen so many warm ups on so many belly dance videos. I'll tell you straight off that this one is different. It's not that there are new movements, but there are complex moves that change after just two or three repetitions. ... Read More
Rating:  - Like it a lot
After getting Jenna beginner belly dance dvd I was a bit put off,the beginning dvd was for beginners but it was so basic and boring I didn't want to even watch it,after reviewing this one I am on deck again. I enjoyed the drill sections they are truly the only reason I get any dvd and I love them. As an intermediate I felt challenged with the drills and was happy when I got better at them.
There are two intermediate-advanced choreographies. The content menu is broken down into warm-up, hip layering ... Read More
Rating: - wow - i'm really impressed w/this Jenna!
i just got this and so far played it 3 times. but after seeing the trailer here i decided to get it. WOW - this is really challenging, and i'm now using this for my daily drills, i love it that much! jenna is great, clearly explains everything as she does them, and really challenges you to go just a little bit more than you're current skill level while gently encouraging you and keeps you going. i'm definitely going to look for some more bellydance DVDs by Jenna :D
Rating: - Exceptional supplemental Lesson Tool
To any amateur dancer who is looking to improve her own choreography and increase overall dancing abilities, I would highly recommend this DVD as the perfect supplemental tool.
This DVD delivers in every aspect. The Drill sections offer opportunity to practice basic hip and upper body movements, while incorporating layers and transitions. I will say that the pace of the drills is pretty rapid, so you will need to utilize the pause button quite a bit.
After mastering the drills and the turns ... Read More
