Amar is a great teacher and a wonderful dancer but I feel like this DVD is something most dancers can skip. I'm not sure what level I would rate this DVD at because while it focuses on the basic most common shimmies the instruction is not as thorough as other beginner's DVDs I have. The practice time is not very significant either, she breaks down the movement at a medium pace and then gets into it and starts layering. Granted, these are only shimmies so the layers don't get overly complicated but I feel that for a basics type of shimmy DVD there should be far more drills before layering begins to increase endurance and overall execution of the movement. It can be really discouraging for beginners who learn how to do a hybrid shimmy and have her layer a shimmy with a maya 20 minutes later. Once again, Amar is a good teacher and great dancer but I feel like there's something missing in how the instruction will come across to inexperienced dancers. As for intermediate and advanced dancers, I think these dancers can skip this DVD because it seems so basic and it does not offer drills to practice the more challenging layered shimmies. Amar just introduces how to do various layers for about 2 minutes and moves on. It would be frustrating for experienced dancers to have to go through the breakdown of the movement each time before getting on to the short practice portion.
