Quick read with simple truths about relationships that should be digested slowly. This book could be read again and then again, throughout the rest of one's life, in reflection of all the dances (relationships) within our lives. You did good Kay!

Reading Love Dance was an honor and a privilege. The words have so much power, they opened a door to a dimensional reality that filled me up and literally danced me. Reading it was like a home-coming, a remembering of that which i have always known. Deborah is gifted beyond measure. I recommend this book to all women who want to taste the sensuality and power of WOMAN.

This book will help your child (or you) fall madly in love with dance. These women were risk takers, self-determined, creative forces in movement. The book offers a great variety of dance styles with dancers I both knew about and those I had never heard of before. I was able to expand my knowledge. This is a great mid-grade non-fiction book about dance. The author, Anne Sokolow, takes great pride in revealing unique details and a strong history for each dancer. This book is a marvelous jewel!

Everyone is entitled to their own review, and this is mine; this was my first experience with learning to belly dance, before I took any actual classes. I found the DVD's title and description to be perfect for someone like me, shy and convinced that they could not dance. I bought this DVD and shared it with a friend perhaps three or four years ago. I did end up taking classes (and have now been a proud member of a belly dance troupe for two years!), and was pleased to see what I learned from this DVD was what I was also learning in classes!

I loved how the instructor took you through the moves step-by-step. This allowed me to take my time and get a better feel. If I didn't feel like I had a move down, I could always back it up to the beginning of the movement lesson and start over again. I also appreciated that she encouraged posture constantly. She was very calm, and I found her instructions easy to follow.

This was good, for me, as a beginner. I did move onto classes, and I did learn things that were not covered in the video. I learned names and terminology. Instead of dismissing this as a terrible DVD, why not encourage other viewers/participants to check out a local class and learn even more, and perhaps correct any errors? It certainly didn't hurt me at all. :-)

I have read many, many books on the topic of love and committed relationships.
I am at a point in my life where I have been searching for answers to the "why" questions about so many failed toxic relationships and I desperately want to do better, learn the tools to develop better relationship skills and be ready for my soul mate relationship.
This book was the first book, first time anyone ever told me it was okay to be okay and accepting of me, just the way I am!!
I feel so empowered by the stories and tools given in this book and am amazed at how hauntingly accurate the science of attachment is!
I am now moving forward full speed ahead armed with a solid foundation I can now wear my heart on my sleeve,  practice secure communication and attachment techniques and finally move towards the secure attached relationship I desire.
Buy this book!

I bought this book because of the cover. Yes I bought a book with a ballet dancer one it. I have cried, and laughed through this whole book. I also learned so many useless knowledge facts while reading this book.
 Let me tell you about Drops of Rain by Kathryn Andrews. This book is about a group of teenage kids who go through their own trails of life. The girl Ali is a ballet dancer trying to get into Julliard. The boy Drew is a swimmer. Together they find love and a sense of family within each other.
This book is awesome!

This book taught me everything. I thought I knew my Hip Hop history and the art of beatmaking until I read this book. Amir Sa'id brilliantly articulates the ins and outs of the Hip Hop genre and thoroughly explains the traditions and reasons why artists sample and program beats. The BeatTips Manual also helped me find my identity as a beatmaker and made it easier to articulate my ideas to my collaborators. Everything from sampled based beats to midi programming and everything in between, this book breaks it all down and simplifies it for us all. I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in beatmaking or producing music or for veterans that might be looking to take their skills to another level. I've read The BeatTips Manual twice now and I often refer to it when I'm looking for inspiration or an explaination for a technique I heard a producer do that I'm trying to understand and utilize. This book should be a must for any musical artist in the 21st century. Thank you Amir.

As someone who grew up in the dance world and continued all through college, then professionally for a little while, I have always been very impressed when I would go take an "adult ballet", "adult tap", etc for extra technique classes and see adults ranging from all ages and technique levels totally letting go and getting out of their comfort zones to learn something new. The dance world is not always that forgiving and there are mirrors and teachers everywhere correcting you.

I've dove head first into master classes from professional in modern dance techniques I either had 0 or hardly any training in, sometimes ended up with my feet bleeding all over the floor, but had a blast. That said, ballroom dance scares the crap out of me. I had to do a paper and teach a group of other students the Waltz in my dance history class as part of my major. Despite doing solos, costume malfunctions, and sometimes face planting in class or on stage, that was all way less mortifying that getting up and trying to waltz with my classmates.

This author has so much respect from me, both for stepping out there and deciding dance isn't all that bad, but entering both the dance world AND the writing world with this book.  Reading about the author learning ballroom and his journey with it makes me a little less afraid of that form of dance. I've always wanted to learn the tango, but have always been afraid of being super awkward and stepping all over someone's feet. After reading this, maybe it's time to get out there and learn

I have no professional training, unless you count the one year I took ballet when I was four-years-old - I'm now 55, so it's been awhile. I can only tell you that if you've ever fantasized about being Beyonce's backup dancer but you know you that will never happen, you can definitely get that same experience from Ilyse Baker's DVD. She breaks down the steps and slowly adds more steps/moves until you are doing a dance routine. This isn't like dancing at a club or a party - this is a real workout and you will sweat but more importantly you will have fun. Don't be intimidated by some of the dance terminology Ilyse uses like Grapevine (which is a step) - I didn't know what that was until I watched her do it and then I did it. You will catch on and you will love, love, love it! The additional workouts on the DVD are tough and honestly I've done those twice, but I can't stop doing the dances and that's what I love the best.

I got this DVD to learn some dances for my sons wedding reception.  The instructors taught the steps first and then practiced with the music.
I like how with each new dance they incorporated steps you learned from the previous dance into the new dance which made it easier to learn.  They also started slow and them moved the tempo up.  As a beginner that really was a boost to learning it and feeling confident with the next dance.

I got this free to try and it's very informational, it teaches you to dance step by step. They are good teachers and go slow enough for my one to learn.

This book is going to be one of my favorites.  Not only does it give clear written instructions to several dance moves, there are colorful pictures of various dancers of all ages and body sizes (there is even a pregnant woman in it).  I love the chapter on how to dress yourself with a veils in several different ways.  The tips are invaluable.  I am going to be looking for videos by this author because if the book is this good, I am sure the videos are great.

For the first time, after reading so many books on dating, Nancy Collins and Mason Grigsby finally helped me understand how I was getting in my own way, what I was doing that was turning men off, and, best of all, how I could still be me and find a person who loves who I am.

If that wasn't enough, they also told me what I needed to do to really get into the game of dating in midlife after 26 years of lamenting over losing my soulmate.  Plainly, I stayed stuck and measured everyone against the feelings I had for him.  The book taught me that I could find lasting, wonderful love without having to duplicate the soulmate relationship connection of long ago.

I found the book so freeing for me.  That it was okay to have what some would call old-fashioned attitudes about sex.  That I could be open without being so afraid of rejection.  That it takes persistence like the searcher who went on 77 blind dates before he found the right one for him.  Best of all, the book confirmed my conviction that there is someone for everyone.  The trick to finding someone is to actively look.  And that was something I was not doing with my whole heart, soul and spirit.  I will speak to people who attract me.  I will avoid feeling stupid if I find they are already taken.  Instead, I will feel wonderfully happy for the lady in their life they mentioned so quickly.  I hope one day to be that lady to a wonderful man.

If you are a single who wants to be a couple, you can discover much to help you in Collins and Grigsby book.

There is a breakdown for the steps following the routine. I am a beginner to hip-hop, and though I thought the moves looked crazy, they're awesome! I began practicing them and now I'm getting pretty okay at them - you just have to stick with it! If you have two left feet, you may want to start with another video that is a little more basic...I don't know of any. However, if you have patience and perseverance with your dancing, I would highly recommend this DVD.

If you are interested in developing new skills in how to do the relationship dance, this is the book for you. Fearless Loving is a must read.  It doesn't matter whether you're currently in relationship, whether you would like to be in a relationship, married, single, recently split up, or divorced.  Rhonda has a talent for bringing together concepts and distilling them into bit size, chewable skills for taking action, which most any one of us can implement, given our commitment.
This book is a valuable tool for me, personally and for my sixteen year marriage/partnership.  I'm finding new ways to really listen, communicate, to set boundaries, to clarify perceptions, to honor my feelings and to play.
Fearless Loving also offers an insightful and helpful protocol for people who are interested in a new way to date.  I highly recommend this book to my friends and anyone interested in Love.

This book is an easy read with deep wisdom and insightful excersises...

Although I have always known deep inside that I have a soulmate... it wasn't until I attended one of Kathryn Alice's workshops that I really started to believe it and internalize it. I bought the Releasing a Person CD and this book the night I met K.A. and together they have transformed my view on dating and have strengthened my belief on a life-long partnership with my One. Dating has been made easier by learning to "let go and let God," which was a difficutl lesson for me in the realm of the heart. Following K.A.'s advice, I am now able to recognize relationships that do not serve me earlier on and able to release people knowing and trusting that only my Soulmate will remain reagrdless of anything!
I reccommend this book to believers and non-believers alike. Every reader will receive larger and more frequent "signs" that their Soulmate is due to arrive at any moment and every reader will realize that the journey from here to the objective and of course, thereafter is pure bliss. For example, I now only meet men who have characteristics I defined on my Soulmate list. Also, I no longer date "jerks." And of my favorite features in the book are the real-life stories which re-affirm that meeting my Soulmate will inevitably happen!
