Have any of you heard of such a thing, or something close?
I have tons of DVDs... many of them with very, very good material. Yet, I find myself uninspired to work with them because the way the material is presented is not ideal for my personal learning style.
I prefer to learn a few things and mindlessly practice them while watching the "instructor," over and over again to music, before moving on to the next thing... without having to pause or rewind the DVD or try to memorize the instructions and practice them on my own.
The type of DVD I've found myself to actually use the most are DVDs that include a lot of drilling, or that are all drilling. Yet most Drills DVDs are either Suhaila style or Suhaila-derived styles like Sadie, or Tribal Fusion. My DVDs that have had the most usage from me were actually all my Rachel Brice DVDs, even though that's not my style at all! If it was, I'd stick with them but unfortunately I find the technique in these styles to be too different from Egyptian for it to be worthwhile. It could be counterproductive for me to practice with those DVDs at this point in my career.
So I need something that drills movements as much as Suhaila or Rachel Brice or Sadie would, but while being Egyptian. Most Egyptian style DVDs I've encountered are either choreography (not enough drilling and repetition for my taste), or they have very detailed explanations but without drilling (which is really really great info to have but doesn't inspire me to pick up the DVD over and over again).
I know, Egyptians just aren't big on drilling, and I guess neither are their foreign pupils and protegés. But I'm pretty big on drilling, the reason my technique is decent is because I drilled the hell out of it with DVDs and on my own. Yet nowadays I am getting too lazy and unmotivated to do my own drills, and need something in my style to follow along with.
Does such a DVD exist?
