I really enjoy the traditional music and movements involved with belly dance–for the most part both are absent from this dvd. I felt that it was contrived and can’t for the life of me see what people think is so good about Rania’s dancing, she moves like a robot. I thought one of her background dancers was much more at ease and inspirational. This DVD is a waste of time and money. There are other much better bellydance videos and DVDs on the market. I recommend the series by Veena and Neena Bidasha instead.

I was looking for DVD’s for aerobics and couldn’t find many, so did a more general search. Bellydancing came-up again and again. I decided to give this one a try and loved it. I am 41 years old and not a regular exerciser. I just love this DVD and am starting to get hooked on bellydancing. The music hasn’t gotten annoying, the way it often does on videos that are watched repeatedly. It’s fun and a great way to get back in shape.

I am over 40 and not in very good shape. I don’t like aerobics tapes where you jump around alot and feel like you are moving more on momentum than actually working any muscles. After using this tape I don’t feel totally exhausted. I feel like I have more energy and that I am building muscle. Since the movements aren’t that fast, I also feel like I won’t hurt myself as I have in the past using other exercise tapes.

Other people have already gone bit by bit in explaining what is in the dvd, so I’m basically going to reiterate it’s def. a workout movie with bellydance-esque flavor. You do learn some cute moves if you are a bellydance novice, but do not depend on it for learning. You do get a satisfactory workout from it if you’re not used to the moves, though. I personally have found I was more toned.
