So excited for you! Let us know how you like it :) I ordered the floorworks & sexy fundamentals and I can't wait for them to get here. <3
Yes the more reviews the better!! Especially for the flexibility ones- so curious!!
@Nolaelle The flexibility ones are great. I've used the pure splits in combination with the 6 weeks splits program and did my first front split a few weeks ago. Also I use stretching for the pole which has been improving my back flexibility. I definitely recommend her DVDs. I have the floor and sexy fundamentals which have good moves to learn but because I have a few other pole areas that I'm a bit focused on right now I haven't gotten to those two as yet.
I loved the pure splits so much she has great warms up to get you to the actual split. The sexy floor work and sexy fundamentals are really great and challenging and a great challenge as for the pole stretches its okay and good ways to spice up your pole stretching
You will not be disappointed! I am in love with my Alethea DVDs... her New Sexy Fundamentals and Floorword are produced in a way that they are total eye candy. I have learned many things from each DVD and they continue to challenge me. ❤️
Well, the heel slides got me wanting more! :)
I think the stretching DVDs are great but Sexy Fundamentals and the Floorwork DVDs are lacking. They seem to be more about showcasing Alethea's talent rather than teaching you anything in a meaningful manner. I used to suck at floorwork but I'm getting better from dancing at the club. I wish the Floorwork DVD would be easier to understand but she runs through everything so quickly without much explanation that it's lost on me. :(
Thanks for the advice....we will see. Did you have these? Dang should of just borrowed yours!
I have to agree with mkalis12. They are great DVDs but those to I have to pause and slow it down for it to be broken down and rewind over and over again. But ehh its better than nothing. They are still pretty cool tricks
Yeah, girl! I've got all four of them. lol
You are so cute! I just ordered the 2 newest DVD's (I already have the flexibility ones...)
@cherished - thanks so much for the advice! how'd you do it? 7 days in a row and alternating? sorry I'm bendy as a stiff board and hoping to change that ! :)
I had a different experience with the floorwork and fundamentals and didn't have any difficulty following her instruction. There is verbal instruction while showing the move and then she also demonstrates the moves in combinations. I understand it is a matter of personal opinion and learning style. We will not all find the same things meaningful. I have paused a DVD to just practice the move to my own music before continuing on or have worked through an entire DVD following the DVD timing. It really just depends on my mood and goals for that session. I use the floorwork and pure splits often. The sexy fundamentals and stretching for pole, not as often. I hang onto them because they are still good resources for me. I just need some time management help to make more DVD time.
I am excited for you! I have the first two, so ready for the next two!
I also think the sexy fundamentals and floorwork dvds are too simple. I think they are specially for beginners or people who are advanced in tricks but have SERIOUS problems with flow or have never gone to any type of dancing classes. For someone advanced most of the stuff she teaches here are obvious. She takes a lot of time to explain very simple stuff and the most difficult moves are explained briefly more like "and if you are advanced you can practice this one". There was a particular move I was expecting to find there that I really wanted to learn and I didn't get it more than I got it from watching here doing it in her dances. I think the dvds are very cool and useful for beginners and it would be awesome if in the future there was another one for advanced students (specially advanced floorwork). Also, there are a lot of things she does that I would love her to teach in the dvds that weren't there ): I hope they are in the next. I didn't buy the dvds because I don't own a credit card. I friend bought them and she invited me to watch them with her because she doesn't speak english and needed translation. And for my friend there was NOTHING "obvious" or "easy". So I realised that though I was surpirsed that some simple stuff were explained, the target of the dvds are people who need to slow down and pay attention to simple details, people who do not take dancing lessons and have to learn how to make their body look pretty when they move and how to create figures when you pose and dance; and they are starting on that from scratch. Oh, I think the flexibility dvd was great and for every level, there was even some stuff there I had never seen before (like the felix stretch, I didn't know that one).
I will also say I love the Pure Splits DVD! I felt it a LOT in my hips the next day, which never happened when I would stretch before. I also got into an oversplit easily on my good side on my second session of the DVD.
I have all 4... I haven't been through ANY of them more than once.The stretching ones are pretty good I suppose but honestly I prefer to do Veena's stretching routine or strectch during a jam. The other 2 are useless to me. I hate pausing and working on the moves on my own and I will never watch them enough to have them memorized so... Also I have to agree, I didn't pick up much that I couldn't pick up from watching her videos online. That being said if you truly need BASIC instruction on movement and floorwork I am sure you will find some great reference points. :)
I have the Floorwork one. I love it. But then again I'm obsessed with Alethea so merely watching is enjoyment enough for me. Are the moves possible? Most likely not, but they are inspiring and enough to give you some filler ideas if your style is similar to hers. If your one of those die-hard need to learn new crazy moves pole ninjas, then pass. You'd be better off watching her via YouTube.
There are some times when the camera man is like ALL. UP. IN. HER. OVARIES--Tiffany's too. I'm like "pan out" a bit so I can see the move. She does move qulckly through everything but overall the dvd's are ok. For floorwork Alethea is boss. For splits and pole stuff, I prefer Veena's lessons.....she has a better teaching quality.
I just watched the floorwork one. Although she goes throught he moves quickly, she has a bunch packed in there. I think it's a good DVD to learn new floor moves and get ideas. I still have to watch the other one...
and yes, the camera does like to zoom in to her bajingo.
Just got them today, zoomed through really fast but looks good. I guess if i had a sexy body like that i would be telling the camera man to zoom in on my privates! Damnn, i love her little boobs too....wish i never got my implants. BUT at least my big boobs balance out the bigger (but saggy) booty I have.
woohoo enjoy your dvd's, i had the pleasure to take a workshop with her for floorwork, it was fun! She is cute
I got my DVDs today too and am looking at them now! I was hoping for lots of the leg variations that she does in Floorwork and found those crazy legs. :3
I just did the splits for pole and liked it, but it was hard! I love how Veena uses the foam roller so i will use some of each lessons. As for those crazy leg moves, cant wait to try.....probably throw out my hip at my age! Damn it, i wish i was starting this journey when i was 20.
