5.0 out of 5 stars I am happy I bought these DVDs!, July 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Goddess Workout with Dolphina - Bellydance FItness 4 DVD Box Set (DVD)

I am happy I bought these DVDs, though I nearly didn't because of some of the other negative reviews. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I am here to add mine to the mix. I have many bellydance DVDs and craved more: more variety, more bellydance moves, more fun, more bellydance and The Goddess Workout filled my needs. Dolphina has a great personality, and makes bellydance more fun, interesting and sexy than any other dancer/fitness instructor. All her comments, tips, and instruction fascinate and motivate me. She is very charming and makes me laugh( like shimmies can cause earthquakes - She is being playful people). I really do love her style and found it refreshing to see Bellydance be sexy, afterall, why would you want to do bellydancing if it wasn't sexy?(there are plenty of other workouts). I love Veena and Neena's videos because they are very good instructional videos, but they are not sexy at all. Another great aspect to The Goddess Workout videos is she teaches a wide variety of bellydance moves, moves I didn't see in other videos, especially in Finger Cymbals, Veils and Warrior Goddess. The instruction in Intro to Bellydance is good and accurate. Most people have already mentioned, Dolphina's sets and costumes are superior to all others. Basically, I find the other negative reviews about these DVDs extremely harsh and to say there are no redeeming qualities in these DVDs is ridiculous. These DVDs are EXCELLENT and I think that you should give it a try and make up your mind for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great collection, December 19, 2002

This review is from: The Goddess Workout with Dolphina - Bellydance FItness 4 DVD Box Set (DVD)

I am a bellydancer who also likes to workout and I found these DVDs a great collection. There is an intro DVD that is great for beginners, but a fun workout if you are more experienced. There is also an advanced DVD that gives you something to look forward to if you are just beginning. I found the workout challenging on many levels and I learned some new bellydance moves! The advanced is called Warrior Goddess and it does encourage you to challenge yourself! The finger cymbals is a fun video and I don't know any other video/DVD that teaches this in a way that you can really learn to play them. The veil DVD was a great workout for the arms and as an experienced bellydancer, I did learn some new moves. The production quality is very nice, costumes are inspiring and they never get boring, no matter how many times you do it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but hard to follow, April 17, 2003

This review is from: The Goddess Workout with Dolphina - Bellydance FItness 4 DVD Box Set (DVD)

Wow, I did get a great workout from the video. I have to say it was a lot more challenging than I expected, but I totally agree with the other people who said it was difficult to follow. For an intro to bellydance, they focus a lot on her face, not on her whole body; there were times I could not figure out what I was suppose to do (were my knees bent? Was I stepping forward? How was I suppose to step forward? What was she doing with her arms?) A different camera angle is all I need to completely love it, though. I think they are tremendous fun!

Edit: I purchased Veena and Neena's "Discover Bellydance" set and found that it really helped with the basics of understanding what I was supposed to be doing. For more advanced moves, the "Warrior Goddess" and "Finger Cymbals" definitely cover areas that other instructional tapes don't. If you're advanced, you probably won't have any trouble with the beginning DVDs, and enjoy the whole set. If you're a bellydance beginner, I'd recommend purchasing "Discover Bellydance" to start and Dolphina's "Warrior Goddess" and "Finger Cymbals" separately.
