Total Immersion: Freestyle Made Easy illustrates everything about freestyle swimming - how to kick efficiently; every part of the stroke - entry, catch, finish, exit and recovery; how to breathe - in the pool and in open water; and how to do both the relaxing open turn and the fast flip turn. To allow you to study all of this carefully, the DVD uses more views (surface, underwater, front, and directly overhead), more slow-motion and more stop action than any DVD produced before. Since 1989, Total Immersion Swimming has become a phenomenon among improvement-minded swimmers - the first program in the history of swimming instruction with "raving fans." TI has become so popular because it is simpler than any alternative; it works with unprecedented dependability and it makes swimming enjoyable and deeply satisfying. Freestyle Made Easy provides the whole picture on smart Freestyle.

Customer Review: great DVD, great instruction, but I'm grumpy
First, yes, I echo what the other positive reviews have said. Music is cheesy, production is cheap-ish, examples are very clear and immediately useful, provides the clarity that the Total Immersion book doesn't. But really, I should not have had to get 1/3 of the way through the book before finding that I needed a $40 DVD (or, alternatively, a $500 weekend seminar) to really make use of its techniques. C'mon guys, raise the price of the book by $5 or whatever and include the DVD with it!

Rachel Brice: Bellydance Arms and Posture
Welcome to Belly Dance Arms & Posture, a practice for carriage, coiling and serpentine stylization. This practice was designed to be used in conjunction with your regular dance practice to increase strength, flexibility and the illusion of bonelessness in the upper body. The practice has 5 parts: Gentle stretching to relax and prepare the body for movement, Dance movement preparation to strengthen the legs, An intense shoulder series with both strengthening and stretching segments to prepare for serpentine arm movements, A short combination to illustrate the use of arms in dance and with torso movement and layering, Finishing poses to relax the spine and prepare you to re-enter your day.
Customer Review: Good not only for dancers
I am new to belly dancing, but not new to dance. This DVD makes a lot of sense; starting with build up the strength,great exercise stretching the muscles.Rachel Brice doesn't promise quick results, but mentions the necessity of consistent practice.And I see the exercises are great for me: they relax muscles when I am tired after computer work, or after driving on those horribly congested Southern Californian freeways. I would recommend this DVD not only to people who want to learn belly dancing, but also those who would like to add creativity to their daily stretches.I found the interview not too interesting, but the added bonus for me was Rachel Brice's performance, and what a dancing goddess is she!

Nylon 336-Disc CD Wallet (Black)
A CD / DVD binder that can hold up to 320 CDs (160 with booklets) / Inside Cover Fast-File Pockets hold an extra 16 discs / Color - Black Unit Dimensions - 11.5 (l) x 5.5 (w) x 13.75 (h) Color - Black
Customer Review: This is a nice case.
I'll just jump right into it. Pros 1) Large amount of CD pockets. 2) Hard case shell with nylon that is actually stong. 3) Removable pages for easy organization and for adding more pages(You can buy more pages at Case Logic's site). 4) According to the Case Logic this case is resistant to heat, moisture and tearing. 5) 25 Years warranty. 6) Nice quality, no corners cut in manufacturing. Cons 1) The 16 sleeves that are on the inside of the hard shell case that you see in the picture are referred to as the "Now Playing". This is for your most played CDs that you don't put in the pockets of the pages so you can quickly access them. The problem is the sleeves are not tight enough and allow CDs to fall out and the only use I find for them is to hold the CD booklets. So 16 from 336 equal 320, that means you will have 320 places to put your CD's and 16 for you booklets. 2) The zipper is hard to pull but I assume cause it is new and needs to be used more to wear it in. That is about it on the cons. I liked the case so well that I bought another one to hold my PC games. So this is a very nice case and well worth the money.
