Aziza's Ultimate Practice Companion

This is a great DVD for dancers at all levels. Each chapter takes you through a different area – warm-up, ribcage, hips, arms, a challenging shimmy segment and then a full cool-down. Aziza is very thorough, she explains each part clearly and you have a clear view of her body through out. I also liked the fact that there was a room of full of students of varying levels of ability joining in.

I use this DVD regularly as part of my personal dance training regime and can highly recommend it. Aziza is one of the best teachers currently on the dance scene and this is in my opinion the best DVD of its kind. Better still though is to take a workshop with her - she has an amazing passion for this dance and her workshops are challenging but fun and inspiring into the bargain!

You can buy the DVD from Aziza's web site - www.azizashimmy.com

Aziza will be a guest star at Celebrating Dance 2007
