Golden Apple: Belly Dance Stars of New York - Neon Jenna Blanca

"The Golden Apple" DVD features original belly dance choreographies and improvisations by three dedicated artists and stars of the New York City belly dance scene - Jenna, Blanca, and Neon - and a special performance by Jehan, a renowned NYC choreographer and master teacher whose creative vision contributed significantly to shaping the three performers' individual dance styles. The music and dance styles presented in this program range from traditional to contemporary. All four dance artists in this recording share a vision of bellydance as a highly emotive art. Entertaining and glamorous, their dance presentations retain a strong focus on the message of each piece. In the exotic language of bellydance they talk about the emotional journey and the spiritual search of a modern-day woman.

The DVD features a number of songs from Jehan's "21st Century Priestess," an Arabesque fusion 2-CD album (StreetNoiz Records) and NYC "Taksim" trio playing traditional bellydance songs and jazz fusion.
