This section includes: Arms and Posture, Skirt Work, The Zambra Step, Vuelta de Pasos, and The Rumba Step.In the second half of the DVD, Vashti teaches a dynamic Gypsy choreography with skirt. Each section is slowly and thoroughly broken down. There are several optional level increases that will challenge the advanced dancer, but can be left out to make the choreography easier. Vashti is the Artistic Director for Bellydance Odyssey Productions and Dance Odyssey Studio in Soquel, California and the winner of the 2005 Gypsy Stylist award.A few words from Vashti: "Welcome to Vashti's Gypsy Passion. My name is Vashti and I am the Artistic Director for Bellydance Odyssey Productions and Dance Odyssey Studio in Soquel, California.My goal is to teach you a gypsy fusion dance routine using a full skirt. This DVD is organized in a way that allows you to use it as a beginner and as an advanced student because I have included optional level increases.A word about stylization. I have used the word "gypsy" to describe a stylization - not a people. This choreography is a fusion of Middle Eastern dance movement and "gitana" or flamenco stylization. I have also included some dance movement from my own cultural heritage - so you will find that some movement resembles the folkloric dances of Mexico and Colombia.Finally, this DVD includes some chapters which break down specific dance steps we will use in our dance but it does not provide a complete technique breakdown. As a point of reference you should know that I utilize some vocabulary and movement from my training in the Suhaila Salimpour format." ## Product Details - **Format:** NTSC - **Contributor:** Michelle Joyce, Vashti - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 58 minutes - **Number Of Discs:** 1 ## Images ![Vashti's Gypsy Passion: Belly Dance Fusion Choreography With Skirt - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vw0kTAFsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Warning its not Turkish Gypsy Style...Its very Flamenco Stylized *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 23, 2008* I wish I read Serena Dances "chickenlittle25" review (read her review before you buy cause she dose a good job on breaking it down) before I bought it, but I had already order the DVD before she posted it. When I hear Gypsy, I think Turkish style. Like Serena's review, this is not what I expected.Don't get me wrong, if you like very heavy Flamenco Stylized Fusion Gypsy Dance, she teaches it wonderful. The routine is breath taking to watch but its really not my style of dance. I love the fact that you can watch the dance from the front and back view. What is really distracting is that she is dancing from the back view, the electric plug just stands out like a sore thumb in the background. The walls are this tan color, she is dressed in a lovely red outfit, which I would love to own, and you see this very white electric plug box floating in the background. Makes it sorta of amateurish.Over all, I am very disappointed that its not Turkish Gypsy Style. I really wish Amazon had the Editorial Review on when I bought it. Then again that was the gamble I took, with no review and very little to no information on the DVD. Honesty if you like Flamenco, you will love this DVD. She teaches very beautiful routine. I'm not sure if I will buy Cheeky Girls Productions DVD again. This is the 2nd one that I've been very dissappointed with and the camera work at times aren't very smooth on both dvds, where your going how did this get passed editing or why didn't they just reshoot it? ### ⭐⭐⭐ Interesting. *by R***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2009* Vashti's Gypsy Passion was not entirely what I was looking for, but it had good points. The women in the DVD came in all shapes and sizes, like real women do. Some of the moves were beautiful and elegant. Some moves had a lot of footwork to learn, but went unseen with the long skirt.The techniques centered around the skirt, and did not show any moves with the torso. I would not call this so much as a belly dance tehnique, as much as an interesting skirt dance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I was looking for *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2009* I enjoyed learning the choreography on this DVD tremendously. I do have to admit that the music had to "grow" on me, but it was exactly the style of gypsy dance I was looking to learn. Pooh on those who are upset that it is not "Turkish" gypsy. You can see the style of gypsy dance from the cover costume that Vashti wears. The choreography goes very well with the music. If you want to get an idea of the dance before you invest in the DVD, you can check out YouTube (do a search for "Majesty of Dawn") to see the dance (with some minor alterations) and hear the music. Pooh also on those who criticize the front/back presentations of the dance. I find them extremely helpful. She not only shows front/back during instruction, but also performs the entire dance from both the front and the back, and having the back view helps when you're trying to do the dance along with the video.One thing Vashti does is slow her counting on the "Interlude" sections, counting two beats as one, when the tempo is actually the same as before, but without the background rhythm instrumentation. In other words, the tempo of the music doesn't really change, but the "feel" of the music does, and so does Vashti's counting, which might be confusing if you're like me and want to count to the same tempo as the rest of the song. Her odd counting tempo crops up again in the "chassé, pas de bourée" section, which she counts as "one-and-two, three-and-four." If you try to do it at that tempo, you will go crazy. It's actually done to counts of eight: one-two-three (hold four), five-six-seven (hold eight). That said, it is still an excellent DVD, and the counts are very easy to follow if you bear the above in mind.Another good thing about this DVD is that the music can be downloaded for a buck -- very helpful for those of us with budgets. It's annoying to pay top dollar for a dance instruction DVD, and then find you also have to pay for an entire CD, or find that the music in unavailable.I hope Vashti comes out with another instructional DVD. I will be first in line to buy it if she does. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1830411-vashtis-gypsy-passion-belly-dance-fusion-choreography-with-skirt](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1830411-vashtis-gypsy-passion-belly-dance-fusion-choreography-with-skirt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
