1.0 out of 5 stars Love Belly Dance but not This DVD, Nov 2 2003

By

Stephanie Rose Bird "conjurer2" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bellydance Fitness:Boogie (DVD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good start for me, Oct 29 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bellydance Fitness:Boogie (DVD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars my perspective, Aug 29 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bellydance Fitness:Boogie (VHS Tape)

I bought this set before I read the reviews here. I am a personal trainer/fitness instructor, and I thought these workouts were well written, well-produced, and well executed. One of the most difficult things to do as an instructor is break down a new dance style without stopping the workout. Rania did an amazing job of starting techniques slowly, repeating them, layering them, then speeding them up to tempo. After watching the performances at the end, I realised why she left the more strenuous or potentially dangerous moves out of the fitness programs. I was really impressed with the whole set.

When I read through the reviews I noticed that most of the negative reviews came from people proclaiming to be belly dancers. I was a jazz dancer before becoming a fitness professional. There is a big difference between teaching dance for fitness than for teaching dance as an art form. When teaching for fitness, you have to use only the moves that are effective in terms of fitness, safe, and ones that target a range of muscles groups for a well-rounded workout. If you are expecting to learn to really dance, buy a dance instruction tape. If you want to work out safely and effectively using bellydance moves, this set is first class. Congratulations to Rania.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK
It's not a bad video, per se, but the music isn't that fun, and I never could get into it. I still prefer the bellytwins work, or even Denise Austin's workouts. Read more
