(no subject)

crap typed this once and LJ lost it.

typing it again.

bought two tapes today.

Kathy Smith's - it was cheap. $13. with tax.

then went to a second store and found a whole stack of the Twins on DVD, $20/each. the only problem - my basement TV only has a VCR. only my living room has a DVD player.

- trust me the first entry was better.

Is she any good at it? (I'm assuming she hasn't been studying this for years.)

I read this review of it...
http://www.livejournal.com/community/bellydancing/634271.html

I remembered that they said... Kathy wasn't a very inspired dancer but figured at that price it was worth trying... I paid $20-25 for most of my other tapes.

I thought it was okay - not great but pretty good for someone as out of practice as myself. The costuming was fabulous- I'd buy it for that alone.

Thanks. I like Kathy, but I think I'll give this one a miss.

You sound like you own a lot of dance tapes. Which one is your favourite?

I like the Veena & Neena ones best. (I have a couple of those and my gym, when I still belonged to a gym had some also that you could borrow)

I have a bunch of Rania - I hate them (box set plus one as a gift). by the time I figure out what she's doing... she's moved on to the next step already.

and now the Kathy Smith - I could watch it for the costumes alone.
