waste of money it shows the same moves over and over. Not worth it I’m sure that there are better belly dancing videos out there. Also that hip hop drop is also a con

I have over 20 belly dance and belly dance workout videos, and this one is my top pick. It is well produced, great dancers, clear instruction, danceable music that is palatable to the Western ear (not that whiny, Middle Eastern wannabee stuff), and two stunning performances (like really stunning). Most of all, it was actually fun. I had fun and enjoyed it.

Once you practice the moves and get into the dances it doesn’t seem like an exercise program, but it does take practice.
I enjoy it now that I learned most of the moves.

As an exercise tape this would be great to break the monotony of leg lifts and running in place. However, we got this for our dance group, thinking it would give us a dance oriented workout to build a bit of cardio/stamina. Whereas, I believe that she is probably a very good dancer in person, the moves are sloppy in this presentation. There is definatly more emphasis on exersise than dance, as (according to the title) there should be. This tape would more likely teach bad habits to people who are looking to pick up dance at as a hobby. If you are looking for a pure dance tape, the Neena and Veena dance videos are better. Even better would be some of the private label productions from many of the fine dancers and dance troupes in the US such as Suhalia Salimpour and Fat Chance Bellydance (Try their Women’s workout. . . owww!). Even better than that, support your local dance school if you have one. It fell behind the couch 3 months ago and I have never bothered getting it back out.

This dvd is excellent, excellent quality and content, and very danceable music. Great, hip, fresh dance workout routine, two amazingly incredible performances by Rania. And there is a bonus workout that just proves what good shape Rania is in. From the cover of the DVD I thought she looked a little heavy and older, but when I started watching the dvd I could see she is young and in perfect Barbie Doll shape, so don’t let the cover fool you!
