This comprehensive 2-volume DVD set delivers a complete curriculum for mastering effleurage, from essential hand positions to sophisticated full-body routines. Each technique is demonstrated with multi-angle video and clear, step-by-step narration, making it suitable for both independent study and classroom use.
