Sorry...I've seen a woman called Sadie on youtube. I think she's amazing

Well she's an adept enough dancer that she's on the ballot for best dancer. Go vote for her if you wish to.

She has beautiful dance ability, but seems to have a tendency to get raunchy--sometimes incredibly so.

Beautiful woman beautiful teacher - but too much technique for me!

I attended one of Sadie’s workshops and saw her perform during the International Bellydance Congress in the UK, in September 2009. Her workshop was one of the toughest I ever attended, with a lot of emphasis on drills and isolations. Even if technique is not everything, I still think it is very important to be able to strengthen the right muscles, in order to make every movement look effortless. Sadie’s teaching style helps a lot with this. Sadie used to be an athlete and this sure helped her a lot achieve the physical strength she has to perform isolations so well. Her performance was technically excellent.

Oh I agree - and I have one of her dvds to strengthe technique - it's just that her dance style doesn't melt me!

I d id a week long workshop In Middl east music and dance camp in california. It was for drum solos. she does drill a LOT on technic and thats how she was taught. VERY techn ical but worth it. I wish I lived in colorado so i could take on going classes with her. I can see where it could help if it id done enough but MAN is it tough. I recomend her as an instructor if you already have the basics down pat and are at LEAST intermediate level...

otherwise her performances are amazing but i dont like too much of her n ew stuff it does get a bit out there inturms of sex nature...

ANYWAY I saw her perform at campand she is and AMAZING dancer! And a very nice person.

Yes, I have only seen a performance video of her - would never touch anything else by her. The definitive porn face dancer!

I've seen a drum solo of her on YouTube too I have to admit that her move were quite impressive.

I just bought 2 DVD's she did Ultimate and Complete Belly dance. I scanned through the other day seems pretty good but like other have said...very technical. Although, that's what I was looking for.

I have just watched a young dancer who has learnt mainly from her videos and she was pretty darn good so I assume they must be useful. Oh and no porn faces.
I have to say I am not impressed by what I see on Youtube especially in duets but I have heard good things from IBDC and that she is indeed a great one for technique as a teacher.
