3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay, December 7, 2002

By	wolverine librarian (Michigan) - See all my reviews

If you're used to Dolphina or Neena and Veena and looking for the same type of workout, this isn't it. It is too instructional and doesn't provide a seamless flow from one segment to another so there is no way to keep the heart rate up. On the other hand it is very very basic instruction and you don't learn anything knew if you have experience with Dolphina and the like. the production quality seemed grainy and not up to snuff with other tapes.
Now for the good points. I have always had trouble with a belly roll, but this tape explained the technique of the move extremely well. Secondly, there are quite a few preformances of top belly dancers, So it's partly a preformance tape. The belly demonstration by Fatimin (?) is worth the price of the tape in my opinion. If I can ever control my belly like that I could cause accidents!:) I do think that it is a good tape for basic instruction but as a workout soley, save your money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Please note - NOT a new video., June 17, 2002

By	Lori Hinkle "Emerald" (Dongola, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a two volume set of previous releases: Slow Moves and Fast Moves. Unfortunatley, nowhere in the description of this tape does it mention that fact, so if you have either of the other videos, this will be a duplicate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bellydance, December 4, 2004

By	S. CUSTOMER "Sufficeth" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a two set movie. The first movie teaches fast moves and the second video teaches slow ones. It's an 80's movies so the studio looks like that. It is a really helpful for beginners and has three different people at a set time demonstrating.
