Okay, so I really want to get one of the instructional DVD's that Ansuya has lovingly given to us. However, she has many and I have never attempted Cabaret bellydance, so any thoughts on which video to try first? Which one has helped you the most?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Wed, April 2, 2008 - 4:16 AMYes, "Lavish Layers" is great, I keep using it regularly!
But I wondered what is the difference between "Lavish Layers" and "Luscious Layers" - I looked for some informations about it but could not find anything. I'm interested to buy it but I would not like to buy something that would possibly overlap the one I already have.
I'm quite sure it has different materials on each of them, but can someone confirm it, please?
Thanks! -

Luscious Layers is for intermediate to advanced dancers that want to add some crazy layers to their dance. It's not uncommon for the combination to have arms, hips and a travel motion all at the same time!
Both are fantastic! My favorite is still the original Hot Combinations though! -

Well, I have no other choice but to buy both Luscious Layers AND Hot Combinations then! **who said that I'm using all your posts as pretexts to buy these DVDs?!! XD **

I would love for you to also see The Magic of Bellydance as it captures the make-up and costuming freedom that Cabaret style has to offer. Have fun!
