Leslie Rosen's classic Bellydancing with Fire instructional video is now available from World Dance New York! It is by far the most thorough exploration of movement options for bellydance with 2 fire props: hand-held candles, and hand lamps (or palm torches). While hand-held candles are perfect for indoors, commercial venues and theaters, hand lamps and palm torches work both indoors and outdoors.
With hand-held candles, you don't need fuel - these are just regular or votive candles - popular in bellydance.
When you dance with hand-held fire props - the eyes of the audience naturally follow the fire. Leslie's Technique section offers you an exttensive catalog of graceful arm and hand movement patterns that enable you to draw sophisticated trajectories with your fire tools in the air. Once you've explored these patterns, Leslie teaches you how to combine fire prop manipulation with belly dance hip work, upper body isolations, and footwork.
The Practice section is a slow-to-moderate tempo dance-along where you will perform with music poses, steps, and arms/hand trajectories you've learned in the Technique section. Leslie leads 2 practice sessions:
1. with hand-held candles and 2. with hand lamps, so you can test differences in techniques of using candles vs fuel-based fire tools, and practice movement that is both safe and visually stunning.
