Beginner through Intermediate Level I is an instructional DVD designed to give the beginner through
Intermediate level student a framework to develop composition and style and prepares the dancer for the
addition of advanced movement.

Traditional Oriental Dancing is based on mood and creative interpretation of the music and rhythms.  Therefore,
the key to successful dancing is learning a reliable group of basic movements that blend well together.  This
results in smooth transitions and a readiness for spontaneous accents and personal emphasis.

Cheri Berens breaks down the movements, steps, and movement combinations, then uses the combinations in
her repetition segments so you can reinforce what you've learned and use these repetition segments as practice
workouts to improve your skills and keep you in shape for the dance.  

Total time -- 120 minutes:  The Non-Stop repetition segments include:
20 minutes of technique and practice for oriental hands, arms and ribcage.
20 minutes of fast hip transition combinations (includes combinations of five steps)
