Definatly not for the beginner!, Mar 23 2003
This review is from: Bellydance Beyond Basics - the (DVD)
I bought this DVD looking for a challenge - which this workout certainly is. Unfortunatly, Dolphina spends too little time explaining the moves and too much time talking about the "goddess within". Although the setting of the workout is lovely, I find the bright white background and the glittering water a bit hard to look at while concentrating on the moves. I would only recommend this workout for those who are able to pick up new moves quickly! I am a intermediate level belly dancer and I have had trouble catching on to the moves. I find myself going over and over the scenes to catch the correct movement. More time could be spent explaining the mechanics of the move. That said, I was looking for something more challenging than the "Neena & Veena" workouts, and this workout fits the bill. Whether or not the moves carry over to my dance class remains to be seen!

Great workout, July 20 2006
This review is from: Bellydance Beyond Basics - the (DVD)
I found this to be a challenging workout. It builds upon the skills I already had for belly dancing and helps push me to the next level. The instructor is great at demonstrating the moves in a way that is easy to follow. I use this DVD three to four times a week and it never gets boring. What I really enjoyed about this dvd is that it's not something that I can master in a week. It is going to take a long time for me to be able to truly do the moves well. I love the challenge. I really feel like I did a good workout everytime I finish.

For advanced students only?, Mar 14 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Bellydance Beyond Basics - the (DVD)
I found this DVD to be fun and well-paced, giving me a reasonably good workout (but not an excessive sweat). However, her explanations of complex steps are very inadequate, and I began feeling annoyed with her enthusiastic, "If you can't do this, just shake something!"
