African Healing Dance
African Healing Dance, with lead dancer Wyoma and the dancers and drummers of the Damballa dance troupe, is a step-by-step dance course on healing traditions and spiritual movements that are special to the African dance heritage. An African proverb teaches, “If you can talk, you can sing, and if you can walk, you can dance.” Thus African Healing Dance is suited for beginning to advanced dancers, students of dance, instructors, and choreographers studying and/or performing African dance. The instructional video and included manual provide an effective guide for a dance or exercise program at home or in a workshop setting. Director of the Damballa dance troupe as well as head dancer, Wyoma begins with a simple warm-up, including breathing techniques; body articulation movements for the hips, chest, shoulders, and feet; and stretching. She then artistically integrates the teaching of six traditional African dances with the passion and joy of connecting dance movements that have the spirit and energy of nature and the elements (water, wind, fire, and earth) and animals such as the snake, elephant, and bird. A final portion of the 70-minute video is called “The Healing Journey,” in which Wyoma encourages personal exploration of inner rhythms and feelings through improvisational movement. As one watches this video, it is difficult not to feel the pulse of the drumbeat and the spiritual strength of Wyoma and her celebration of life through dance. –Christine Aiken
Customer Review: a totally comprehensive and fantastic course in African dance
This was a course, not a workout. Wyoma provides fundamentals, explains the creative narrative behind each MOVE (!!!!) and describes differences between dances. She also has an improv section. I am currently studying W. African dance and Afro-Brasilian, and find THIS DVD to be an inivaluable addition to my studies. This is for folks, however, who want more than a cursory routine or overview of African dance. This is the real deal. The outdoor setting is superlative.
Customer Review: Not for beginners
For someone who isn’t a stranger to African dancing I found the instruction catered more to the intermediate or advanced dancer. At times some of the steps could have been broken down more for the dances. I felt that Wyoma and her dancers were more into giving a show then teaching African dance steps. This wasn’t a good investment in my money at all!!!

Customer Review: Moon Sand
My children are 8 and 10 years old. With most toys they become bored and stop playing with the toy in a week or less. However, with Play Sand they have been playing with it every day for more than a month now. Its low cost, durability and ability to hold the children’s interest makes this toy one of the best toys I have ever purchased for my kids.
Customer Review: Great indoor fun
Others have commented that the moon sand is too messy but I think it is great. My boys love playing with it when they can’t be outside in their sandbox. Yes, it is messy and you will have to sweep up the floor but we put it on a large jelly roll pan and the mess isn’t bad. Compare it to the stickiness of play-dough or clay and the moon sand is much easier to clean up. It is relatively dry and can be swept up and wiped up easily. If you have a pristine house that you don’t like dirty, pass on this. But if you don’t mind a bit of mess on the pathway to fun, go for it. As far as the sand itself: the blue and red seem more “stickable” and the white a bit dryer. Not as mouldable but my younger son prefers the white…so….I guess it’s ok.
