Keti Sharif A-Z Advanced- worth the price?

Any opinions on this? I haven't been dancing out in a while, and I therefore, am bringing in no moolah, and wonder if this video is worth the price of $65.

Thanks!

YES!!!! Keti has formulated an amazing format with her A-Z method. These combinations will take your dancing to the next level. I was schooled in her original basic A-Z format.. The combinations are done to a block of 16 counts. So if you can count to 16 you can memorize these combos and they are beautiful. They make choreography easier to learn, create and remember. I found this formulation amazing for doing improvisation. You will not be disappointed. Keti Sharif is an amazing woman! The advanced combos follows the same methodology I believe.
Good luck and happy dancing.

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.

How much is the shipping? It seems like I looked into this dvd and it was well over $75 after s&h.
