For beginners? I'm not so sure - but still great May 21, 2008
I bought this DVD to supplement a beginning belly dance class I was taking. The first half of the DVD included many of the basic moves I learned in class, as well as a few other simple ones. There was a bit of a learning curve, but they were fairly easy to pick up on. The second half was quite a bit more challenging. The fancy footwork is beyond my beginner level.
There is a dance demonstration before each half of the workout. While Neena and Veena are completely enchanting, and the demonstrations are well worth watching, I don't really want to sit through a five minute dance before getting to actually dance myself. So I usually fast-forward through those parts. It would have been better to just leave those demonstrations at the end of the workout as a "treat," rather than inserting them before the workout.
I find the first half to be a gentle, invigorating workout. The second half, however - maybe one of these days I'll work up to completing it!
Good fitness workout April 8, 2008
Neena and Veena provide an easy-going stretch workout and a much more intense fat burning workout (which a lot of beginners will probably need to work up to). Both are great in their way and I recommend the DVD.
 Good for Beginners March 20, 2008
I was looking for a beginner's DVD for Bellydancing, and this one was very good. It takes you thorough basic moves, which seem very easy, but are surprisingly effective. Since I'm quite clumsy and ungraceful,it was nice to try to do something graceful with such detailed definition. Very good DVD, and easy to learn. I'm sure if you were more advanced, it'd be boring, but for a beginner like me, it was perfect!
Good intro to bellydance...but not for me March 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I enjoy dancing, but I had never tried bellydancing. I tried this workout to get an intro to bellydance and exercise all in one.
There are many things that I like about this video: There are a lot of good isolations that will help tone certain parts of your body (I especially felt it in my arms). There are also a lot of good hip isolations, which seems to be the heart of bellydancing.
But, I did not find myself enjoying the dancing/workout, and I think it comes down to the fact that bellydancing may not be for me. I found it to be a little too slow and it didn't get my heart-rate up very much.
While this was not really my 'thing' it seems like this workout does provide a good introduction to basic bellydance moves and good isolations that will work on toning some of your muscles.
Also, the dancers (Neena and Veena?) perform the moves beautifully. So, I do not think that my opinion of the dancing is a reflection of the dancing, in general, or the instructors.
 Good, but less Indian, more arabic would be better February 27, 2008

It is a good video. The isolations in the warm up are worth while.
The dance moves during the main part of the video were not as reflective of belly dancing as I would have liked. I was looking forward to learning and practicing moves from belly dancing, but many of their moves had an indian style to them.
