The problem I had with these was that Keti really didn't demonstrate these combos with music that really went with the movements. This problem was worse IMO for the advanced A-Z than for the original A-Z.

This was probably due to the difficulty and expense of paying music licensing fees, but still, it really made the videos of limited use for me because it is not immediately obvious how the movements would work with music I use.

She also talked about "sacred geometry" in the advanced. I just don't believe there is any sacred geometry in Egyptian dance, or any other kind of geometric patterns, really. I think this is an orientalist concept.
