This DVD combines a workout by using belly dancing moves in a repetitive way which is a very good way of learning the moves. Great if you only have a limited amount of time but want to do both (workout/dance). Includes a complete dance routine as well which means you have something to work towards after the workout. Highly recommended.
i enjoy this dvd. i think it is very good for developing core muscles for belly dancing. ok you could say it is no different to other workout dvd's,as it consists of drills and exercises, as opposed to actual choreographed dancing, but i don't find this a problem myself, there are plenty of other dvd's giving choreographed dances and instruction. the twins are good at clear presentation, although could perhaps explain the moves in depth more, for the sake of complete beginners, but time would be a factor then. it helps to target the specific muscle groups required for belly dancing and is very enjoyable to do. i would say though that you really need a basic knowledge of belly dancing to understand what is going on in the dvd but, i would recommend it to anyone taking up belly dance who wants to tone up and learn to use the muscle groups required for the dance in a fun way.
Had really got stuck when it came to losing weight. I had exercise dvds but they were no longer making any difference. I also needed to tone up my middle. I had already bought the belly twins hip hop workout from the same seller and really enjoyed it so I liked the sound of this one. I have now done this dvd for three weeks at the recommended 3 times a week. I kave lost another half inch around my waist and 2lb in weight. I am so happy that now I can fit into jeans I bought in the january sales. I would recommend this dvd to anyone as it is a low impact high calorie burning workout and great fun with the added bonus that it reaaly gives your abs a workout. I will be looking for anything similar in the future.
LIKE IT AN GOOD AS LEARNING SOMETHING NEW, NOT TOO HARD FOR THOSE WHO FIND EXCERSIZE A STRAIN , EASSY GOING AND ABLE TO GO AT OWN PACE, WHICH I REALLY LIKED.
I got this DVD and was really excited to get it and then I tried the program and I was very disappointed. I felt that Neena and Veena in a sense sold their souls because they were trying to act like the instructors that you see on mainstream fitness videos, and you can clearly see that just isn't how they are. I got this video because I have their Bellydance for Fitness Basic Moves program, and I like it very much! This program was not fun at all for me. I thought after the first time that I would at least watch it without trying to do it and see if I felt any differently (a couple of months later) as I really wanted to give it an honest chance. I ended up stopping the DVD, and immediately listing it up for sale/auction. It sold (thank goodness) and so I don't have to look at it anymore. If you like mainstream aerobics instructors then THIS is the program for you. If you are trying to get away from that, and you want something more 'alternative' then I don't recommend this one at all.
Very good work-out, with some principles of belly dance. It is mainly a work-out (rather than a belly dance class) and requires some coordination. The twins are nice and enthousiastic. It will get you sweating and it's fun - did my first session last night, and I look forward to seeing improvements. It has a warm-up and short cool down, and the bonus performance at the end by the twins is great and inspirational.
