2.0 out of 5 stars Not a workout, September 30, 2006

By	Sweeterpea (Va Beach, VA) - See all my reviews

The previous review led me to believe that this was a dance workout dvd. It is NOT. It's a series of performances cut from an Iranian television show. Some of the routines have a folk dance flair to them, some more belly dance-like, and one performance attempts an American flair. It was the first time I'd seen a male belly dancer - complete with beaded fringe belt and fringed shirt. For the most part, the performances are on the level of the old variety shows - just entertainment. I kept expecting Ed Sullivan or Lawrence Welk to walk out. At this price, I took a chance - I gave it two stars because I was interested in the costumes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Fun, Fun, April 4, 2005

By	S. govari (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My mom bought me this DVD and I was ready to mock and laugh at it. It really surprised me. Although the warm up is fast and not too safe, if you are familiar with yoga or stretching, you can modify it to fit your needs.
The rest is fun, he shows you great dance moves and he really gets you sweating. I love this DVD and enjoy working out with it everytime.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this DVD!, September 24, 2008

There is a huge variety of performances- from traditional Persian dances to modern Iranian, Arabic and American styles (well, if the 80s are modern). He's funny, and no, it's not the most perfect dvd in the world, but I love the variety and the music choices and the easy moves to steal for my own dancing... lively, upbeat, and a glance into a country that is mysterious from over here. The classic 'hat' dance from Iran, lots of frame drum dance, nice skirt moves, a wedding dance, costumes from possibly the 1800s forward. A hilarious faux pharonic at the end to a I like to Move It Move It medley that got the kids up dancing too!
