 Fun to do! November 2, 2008
Erica Dixson
I read the reviews and saw it was mixed for this product. I didn't order it thinking it would be like a big workout, but I just wanted to add some fun to my cardio. It is really a fun DVD. You do get some kinda workout, but I add it to my cardio and think it helps a little. I just wanted to learn how to do some of the moves and I think it is great. I want to get my girlfriends together so we can all learn the moves. It is a great tease dance. If you are looking to just add some fun then this is a great DVD. It isn't made for a heavy workout, but rather just a twist in a light workout.
Spice up your life with Dolphina November 2, 2008

Dolphina Belly Dance is a great series for women who want to get a good and fun cardio work out. Dolphina's focus and goal is to help all women enjoy themselves for who they are and what their bodies have to offer. While the work out is focusing on your physical appearance, hips, buns, thighs, and abs, Dolphina adds a special introspective view to strengthen the mind and spirit as well. This particular video also adds a little spicey flare that you may find useful in your life. I highly recommend Dolphina to any woman looking for a fun, exciting way to refresh their daily routine.

I probably should have read the reviews on this DVD before purchasing it. I do a lot of dancing and have a collection of work outs on DVD. This is one I wish I could return. I didn't break a sweat unfortunately. The actual performance the instructor gives is pretty bad. It's like she wasn't even listening to the music or going to a beat of any kind. It was cute, but definitely not sexy. This DVD would probably be more appropriate for someone who doesn't know how to dance at all.

not cardio but a fun alternative she is a little cheesy and her actual performance is horrible. if you do it with your own style it can be fun
Disappointing May 2, 2008

On the positive side, Dolphina is fun, upbeat, and playful.
On the negative side...
The DVD is sleep-inducing. The pace is very slow, she speaks slowly and softly, and the jazzy "burlesque" music in the background makes elevator music sound like heavy metal.
There's no actual "workout" here, either. The DVD is divided into topics, like "struts," "bumps," "grinds, "kicks," "shimmies," etc., and she demonstrates each in an equally slow, methodical way. The only chapter that might get your heart rate up is the kicks, but that's just a few minutes. Dolphina also covers the topic "Boa," and the cool-down utilizes big feather fans. (Likely you don't have those handy or could pick them up at your local Sports Authority.)
There's a segment called "Routine" that puts most of the moves together, but again, it's very low-impact and slow-paced, so unless you're grievously out of shape, don't expect your heart rate to budge.
It was all fun stuff and easy to do, but the one part I found grating was the segment called "Performance," where she indulges herself with an overly-long burlesque routine that uses a lot of moves not shown in the instructional segments. (Even if it did, the camera cuts make it almost impossible to follow or imitate.) Nice for the hubby, but I could do very well without it.
All in all, it was surprisingly dull, pedestrian, and a bit self-indulgent. I really wanted to like it, which made my disappointment that much greater.
