Hmm, I felt that bit was a little lazy. Not exactly a fair survey of American men! Her father possibly is holding onto cultural values from elsewhere (he has an accent so I assume still holds onto his cultural identity from whereever his family are from) and her brother is hardly going to have an 'everyman' view of the dance with his sister making a career of it. Could she seriously not find any other american men to interview?!

Still, better than her other DVD (she's the bellydance for wimps one, right?)
