I have Suhaila's Level 1 & 2 books, the content is all drills and exercises. An advanced dancer could definitely understand the moves even if she knows them by a different name since each move includes a description. This is especially true of the level 1 book, for example:
Pelvis Lock Back
Begin in home position.
Contract the lower back while releasing the lower abdominal.
Return to home position

In the level 2 book, though everything is described it'd be helpful to be familiar with Suhaila's terminology (or possibly with musical terms??) since she describes exercises where the feet are going at one speed and the hips another. You might want to get the Natural Journeys videos first if you don't plan on attending any of Suhaila's classes or workshops.
