Thread: just discovered upcoming BDSS releases

hi guys

I just discovered new BDSS releases will come out May-July this year.
The furthest away (July) -Flow: Bozenka graceful hands and arms, no description yet. Am very curious for this one because I find Bozenka very graceful and feminine, with lovely arms.
Bellydance Superstars-Killer Drillz With Zoe Jakes: said to be for all levels by "drill sergeant" Zoe. I like Zoe's strength and stage persona, so very curious about this one too.

Finally Behind the shimmy (May): a documentary of 2003 Lollapalooza tour. A re-release of American Bellydancer, then? hmmm... I would enjoy a new documentary with the new people. AB really made you connect on a certain level with the protagonists, i don't really see the need for introducing ansuya, jillina, bellyqueen etc to new bdss followers when they are not part of the tour(s) anymore...

Has anyone seen Advance your Dance with Sabah? Curious for that one. I was disappointed with some of the BDSS releases like esp Bozenka's shimmy dvd and Petite Jamila's veil one, so I will look for reviews before ordering BDSS dvds. there are few amazon reviews, some critique the lack of explanation and drilling time (major problem rendering bozenkas dvd on shimmies absolutely useless for me), so i fear the more recent bdss dvds suffer from the same flaws as some of the earlier ones.
i wonder why smaller production companies without major tours supporting them can produce 1.5 to 2, 3, even close to 4 hrs instructionals (the latter two on 2-disc sets) and the BDSS seem to not consider that!? weird especially since some of the reviewers mention Sabah, f.e., holds fantastic workshops.. why not film a full workshop like Little Egypt? ok, the production then is not polished, but why not film the full workshop in the studio? It can't cost THAT much more when the smaller companies can do it?

anyways are you curious for these releases? do you own Sabah's, what do you think?

I hadnt heard of the Bozenka DVD, I'll be looking for that one. I plan to get the Zoe Jakes DVD. She is amazing!

Thanks for the heads up on the Bozenka DVD! She is one of my all-time FAVORITES- I'm def. investing in the hands and arms dvd when it comes out!

I have the "Every shimmy in the book" with Bozenka and I like that it's shorter- it's like a quick shimmy warm-up/reminder of all the different ways to work your shimmy! And the price was reasonable...
but I'll be damned if I can do that Bedouin Shimmy like she can

Anyone know where i can get the Bozenka dvd from, is it available to pre-order?
Thanks
