1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Bellydance DVD ever!, October 5, 2007

This DVD is one I will NEVER use in my bellydance library. It is currently collecting dust. For all you bellydancers and would-be bellydancers out there, I cannot think of a worse DVD to spend your money on. She doesn't "instruct" the movements at all, but merely leads you through a workout. The workout isn't comprehensive, and it isn't "safe" looking, in my opinion. It doesn't work the totality of the body, and it lacks foundation. If you are interested in learning to bellydance, are already a bellydancer, or just want a bellydance "exercise" DVD, there are better choices for your money. Keep looking elsewhere, you will find a good fit!

Featuring a fitness professionsal, who is billed as an experienced dancer, I was very disappointed in the instruction on this DVD. I will give it kudos for being complete in having a warm-up, workout, and cool-down, but I was completely lost during the 'advanced' section since it didn't include any instruction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth buying at any price, March 19, 2008

Most of the other reviewers have covered this DVD in a very honest and helpful manner so I will try to focus on areas they did not already cover.
Firstly, this DVD would probably do what it advertises, in part "firm and tone your core muscles" however, I doubt anyone would be "enjoying this fun bellydancing workout" Ugh! This was the most boring workout I have ever done. As another reviewer noted, it is doubtful that it is even safe.
The music that is used during the instructional and warmup isn't even bellydance music. It is new age guitar. The "set" for the DVD is sparse and boring. It looks like a conference room. The only decore is two potted plants on either side of a sign printed "fitness essentials". The floor is concrete and is stained and marred. The white wall on the right has holes in it, and there are exposed beams above. Very low budget here. The sound quality is inferior to other workout DVD's sometimes you can't here the instructor clearly over the music. The camara work is not the greatest either. Often the camara view is of the upper body when it should be on the feet or whole body to show what is being done. The instructional and the first workout are very uninspiring. Slow-moving and of little attraction.
The advanced workout is more like a performance. There is no instruction here, you just follow along. It's not even that great of a workout or performance. It would be hard to work up a sweat to this DVD.
Please do yourself a favor and pass on this one. There are many other wonderful bellydance instructional/workout programs out there. The bellydance twins (Neena & Veena)Discover Bellydanceare a good starting place.
I am a very tolerant exerciser who can usually find a good workout in just about any program I try by modifying. I've also had eight years of bellydance instruction/performance. I have never rated any program one star thus far, but this one is truly the worst I've ever seen and there is no saving it.
