Neon Shines in 2 New Dances - By: Alejandra Vernon, 22 Oct 2007 
The 2 dances on this DVD are of intermediate level, the first being much easier, & the second building in speed & complexity, both with wonderful fluid choreography by the one & only Neon; each dance has 11 combinations, which are broken down step by step, not only teaching you the movements, but with an explanation of the technique, so one can learn from Neon's expertise, & with practice, execute alll the isolations, as well as add the grace & style these 2 pieces merit. There is an initial demonstration of each dance up to tempo & with music (marvelous pieces by Amir Naoum Chehade & Elias Sarkar, which can be downloaded from the site given on the DVD box), & they are good to watch, as performances, & as goals to aim for after you have learned the choreography. Finallly there is a bonus bravura performance by Neon, in one of her exciting numbers where she dances with a tray full of lit candles on her head, which never fails to amaze me!
This well produced DVD has Neon "floating" on a white background, so there is nothing to distract you from the movements being demonstrated. Neon is a stunning Russian beauty in her pink & green dance outfit, with a lithe & toned body that is sculpted perfection, which reminds us that bellydancing, as well as being an aesthetic pleasure in its traditional movements with a modern twist as choreographed by Neon, is also great exercise, & a lot more fun than chugging along like a hamster on a treadmill. Neon's soft accented voice is also a plus factor, because it is pleasant on the ear, & clearly enunciated, so you understand every word as you are being taught. This is an excellent DVD to add to your dance instruction collection, to broaden your repertoire & learn from the best of the best.
