Her expressions were almost as if she were in pain. It made me think that she was somewhat of a bad dancer but I have seen other videos of her on you tube and she dances quite well sometimes.
But in this, she danced very sloppily as if she were a beginner trying to do advanced moves. She was not always on beat and she sometimes struggled to give accurate instructions. I don’t know what was going on here but I wish I never spent money on this DVD. I threw it away after I watched it the whole way through. She HAS to look back at this DVD and regret it. It should be taken off the market.

El nivel de esta coreografia es intermedio, no avanzado. De todas maneras me gusto la coreografia aunque es un poco “cuadrada”. Lo que mucha gente dice de Rania es cierto, es un poco rigida (stiff) le falta fluidez en sus movimientos, ademas a veces explica los pasos de una manera y los termina haciendo de otra!
De todas formas yo me diverti mucho con el dvd! y logre sacar algunas ideas de el.

I was disappointed in Rania’s dancing. She appeared frantic, a little awkward, and the expression on her face is best described by ‘a rabbit caught in the headlights’ which made me wonder if she was struggling to do the choreography.
I tried to learn the whole choreograhy but stopped about half way through because I didn’t like it. However I have given the DVD three stars because there are a couple of combinations that she taught that I have put into a choreography of my own.
I’ve kept it in case there is something else I may want to use from it one day.

This has only one angle & fabric background home video. The sound & lighting were easy to see/hear for a home video.
Rania is stiff & self conscious & therefore stiff as ever. The choreography is not advanced, but more intermediate with the most being shimmies layered. The routine has a lot of repeating, such as 4 omnis w/camel in a row, 4 hip drops w/a kick in a row, 4 horizontal hip figure 8s in a row, 4 hip drops w/plie & turn sides in a row, etc.
She is quick & to the point on the teaching, she teaches at 1/4 speed 1x & normal speed 1x. What she chooses to teach is weird, she teaches you an omni (small hip circle) but doesn’t teach the camel at all. This DVD of course, assumes you know all the moves already since of the part 1 of those moves, that one was the only one she goes into depth.
There is no music as well when she is teaching.
I gave it 2 stars since for a home movie the lighting/sound was ok & she’s to the point on teaching.
She lost 3 stars for her lack of dancing ability to be graceful, bit cold in teaching, lack of music, etc.
You can see more reviews on the VHS version & you can see a preview at youtube under “Rania – Advanced Choreography: Drum Solo”
