Decent workout-if you play the right sections repeatedly,
By
This review is from: Cardio Bellydance Workout : Bellycore (DVD)
This workout has good music and pretty moves (i'd actually rate it as 3.5 stars).
I would have given this 4 stars without hesitation, but the cues were hard to follow-she moves quickly to the next move without much warning. I have a dance background (been bellydancing for a year now) so I enjoyed the incorporation of Turkish dance moves and the fast pace. I also like that she makes it look like you're dancing rather than exercising. I also like that it is a customizable workout-for beginners, play the Cardio 1.2 (slower) section. For a more aggressive workout, I like to play the Cardio 2.2 (interval) section 2-3 times over to work up a sweat. The music was great and the DVD includes artist info, I may track these CD's down in the future and buy them...

A compilation/ cardio workout,
By Seir - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cardio Bellydance Workout : Bellycore (DVD)
This is a cardio workout from a physical trainer/bellydancer using bellydance as the fundamentals.The warm up segment is pilates and not too complicated. The 4 level breathing technique is interesting and taught well.Some yoga poses are included. Undulating traveling steps were fun to do. Some steps as the Turkish 2 step are repeated too much. Cool down seems a bit too much like a second workout. The studio setting is good, the trainer pleasant just a bit unconnected with her viewer- moving too fast appearing more like a physical trainer than a dancer, but then is that so bad for a cardio workout? Overall this seems to be a compilation of bellydance,pilates, yoga. There is a nice performance at the end by the trainer herself. The music is great by Gypsy Caravan, Jehan, Knossos.

Burn Those Calories!,
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cardio Bellydance Workout : Bellycore (DVD)
The Bellycore system Melissa has created combines the use of Pilates techniques with a cardio belly dance, to firm up the tummy and then burn the excess away with lots of energetic but basic belly dance combinations.
The initial Pilates warm-up/tutorial is excellent and quite long. It gets every part of your body strengthened and stretched, and ready for the fast and furious cardio section. Simple enough for a beginner, the cardio bellydance steps are very easy to assimilate and the trick is to just keep on going at the tempo given. It's a good workout, and fun to do. Finally there is a lengthy and well deserved Cool-down, and a lovely performance by Melissa finishes the DVD. The biggest plus is Melissa's no-nonsense way of speaking and teaching that carries us through, with her winsome personality and energy, to go beyond the "I quit!" phase to our second wind and the finish line. Melissa has a lot of experience as a teacher and performer, and with Cardio Bellydance we can benefit from her expertise and get in shape too. Music is by Gypsy Caravan, Knossons, and Jehan, and the setting is a plain, white walled, bare floor studio, with bright lighting so every movement is clearly seen. Melissa does her floor work on the bare floor, but you would probably feel better with a mat or rug under you. She also wears a T-strap dance shoe with a short heel, but barefoot is OK for me! There is also an option on the menu to play the Pilates workout with just the music and no tutorial, a nice option when you know all the movements. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Fun fast workout,
By A. Aragon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cardio Bellydance Workout : Bellycore (DVD)
Being relatively new to belly dancing I found some of the moves a bit hard to follow and was not sure if I was using correct form. I did have fun at first and think it was a wonderful workout but towards the end I had a hard time catching up with Melissa as I was concentrating on the moves rather then the pace she was going. I will use this workout again but not until I have a understanding of the dance itself with some more practice using a beginning belly dance DVDs.
