Rachel Brice: Bellydance Arms & Posture
Rachel Brice is a contemporary innovator in Tribal Fusion Style Belly Dance based in San Francisco. She is the artistic director and choreographer for The Indigo Belly Dance Company and frequent performer with the Bellydance Superstars. The DVD (Bellydance Arms and Posture with Rachel Brice) goes into the real meat of the lesson - the "shoulder sequence". It is an approximately 10 minute progression of shoulder and arm strengthening exercises. This is the most valuable part of the DVD. Like I said above, my teacher does most of these exercises or ones that work the same muscles in class, but she works arms and shoulders a lot. I know there are a lot of teachers out there who do not focus on arms as much. This is followed by explanations of 5 "arm undulations and pathways" - these were definitely very tribal in style, but an intermediate or above cabaret dancer would have little trouble adapting aspects of these movements to her own style. One thing that struck me, though, is that the back cover of the DVD states that this DVD would help you create the "illusion of bonelessness" in your arm movements. And while Rachel gives a great mechanical breakdown of how to do these movements, she never talks about how to create that bonelessness, or gives any other insight beyond the mechanics of the movement. Nor does she seem to cover "carriage" or "coiling" like the title promises. (Who wrote the materials on the front and back covers?) She assembles the movements presented above into a combination, which is intended to illustrate including arm work into your dancing. This combination, however, included no hip work at all, so I felt it really does not show you how to incorporate the arm movements into a well-rounded dance. Finally, she ends the instructional portion with about 10 minutes of stretching and relaxation. The DVD ends with a performance, in which she *does* do some hip work, so I think the performance is a bit more illustrative of incorporating arm movement into dance than the combination was. Unfortunately, the performance segment was filmed and edited in such a way that the camera is constantly moving, and is seemingly constantly switching from camera angle to camera angle. There was this weird little lame effect where she goes into a back bend, then the camera slides to the side, so it looks like she's laying down and being pulled off-screen. So unnecessary. She is a beautiful dancer - her dancing is more than interesting enough to keep people's attention without all the MTV-esque video editing. Overall, this DVD is really constructed at a pretty basic level. It is mostly appropriate for beginning level tribal dancers or intermediate dancers of all styles who do not get much in the way of arm instruction from their regular teacher. It's not an in-depth treatment of the subject, but it's priced attractively for beginners. You can purchase her DVD or VHS at http://www.bellyshop.co.uk

Eminem - When I'm gone Lyrics.
Eminem - When I'm Gone. Lyrics [Introduction] Yeah... It's my life... My own words I guess... [Verse 1] Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for? Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for? When they know they're your heart And you know you were their armour And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you? And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you? What happens when you become the main source of her pain? "Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane "Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?" I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby... [Chorus] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back... [Verse 2] I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing "You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?" Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying "You always say that, you always say this is the last time "But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine" She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it "Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!" Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'" I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror These fuckin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on And I'm singing... [Chorus] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back... [Verse 3] Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet I take a bow and thank you all for coming out They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing "Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding," But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden? "I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin' "You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad "And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad' "That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin "I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going" But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice "Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us" That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin' It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister Almost as if to say.. [Chorus/Outro] And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back...
