    What are you favorite Arms dvds?

    I had a student ask me what dvd to buy to supplement her arms training.

    I was thinking to recommend Sahra's arms & torso dvd, but I'd love to hear your favorites for training better arms and why you like them.

    What about Fatiem's DVD about hands and arms? Although I'm sure Zamora's are great too ;-)

    I like Ariellah's Tribal Fusion with Yoga. Though not exclusively for arms, she has a killer arm section on it.

    Tamalyn Dallal's DVDs have some arm and hand drills that I've found very useful.

    Her Serious Belly Dance DVD has some hand and arm exercises. I also think there may be some on the Sensual Belly Dance DVD as well.

    Katia's Oriental Arms and Hands DVD, vol. 1 and 2 looks really good. They're IAMED DVDs, you can go to the website, Belly Dancing, Belly Dance Videos, DVDs, Bellydance. I haven't used them myself, so I can't give a review, just a suggestion. I'm considering buying them soon.

    I like Sahra's a lot. The port-de-bras practice in Aziza's BD Practice Companion is really helpful as well.

    I didn't know Cory Zamora had an arm dvd????

    I like Katia's and Sahra's dvds. If you're interested in tribal then add Rachel Brices dvd as well.

    One more good (and reasonably priced) arm DVD is Dancer's Arms by Aruna. In fact it is the only one that has really worked for me - as for style it is more on fusion side as besides Middle Eastern arm work it includes Indian and Flamenco influences but I think that those just give more versatility to how to utilize arms and hands with different styles.

    Good review of this DVD can be found from Gilded Serpent

    I read that Princess Farhana has one coming out this summer- "Armed and Dangerous"? If it's anything as entertaining as her previous dvd's it should be good!

    Re: What are you favorite Arms dvds?

    i have katias vol 1
    it's from the 90s so the clothes etc might make you cringe haha
    but its good if you're pretty lost with arms
    i didnt like the choreography part though
    its just in slow motion once as she does a voiceover and then in real time once!
    and i feel like i would NEVER do many of the moves presented
    you might want a more updated video

    Rachel Brice's Arms and Posture is wonderful at building strength and flexibility in the arms and upper body.

    I have old VHS of Amaya's arm and veil moves. Also believe it or not FCBD Tribal series was helpful to me. Even though I'm not a tribal gal. It did help my arms

    Autumn Ward's dvd has a good arms section on it too.
    I have Fahtiem, and Amaya's too, but found Autumn's drills more useful.
    Although Amaya's is good for veil work it didn't help my arms a lot.
