5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Bellydance Workout DVD, Feb 14 2009

This review is from: Shape Up N Hip Out! (DVD)

I have numerous bellydance and bellydance workout Dvds and I can say unequivocally that Jillina's Shape Up n' Hip Out is absolutely fabulous! I'm over 50 and started bellydance classes almost 1.5 years ago - I'm moving up Level 2 next month. That's thanks in part to Jillina! Initially, I joined the classes for fun, but found out how great it is for increasing my balance,and muscle work for back, neck, and all over! It's also really cool learning a whole new way of approaching dance and sense of self!

This DVD is Great for practice everyday! It sounds funny, but I learned more about the intricacies of weight-shifting, i.e. from leg to leg, how to really isolate and extend the hip to the side as well as the mechanics of undulations or a camel from this Dvd, than I have by attending weekly classes. Her drills are fantastic because when you can't quite understand a move, the drills break it down to practice and to learn it in parts; so you work at it in drill parts and then practice it as more 'smooth' move. It's also great for strength training!

After months of practicing one set of movements with Jillina, I've moved on to the next section and am learning even more movements - now I use the first section for my comfort level practice and the next one for my challenging level practice. Get ready for a workout!!

The music is good,the warm-up is good, several sections of workout routines, her instruction is great - all of that makes me one happy customer! Thanks Jillina!

Jillina is REALLY amazing! I've done bellydance tapes before but none like hers. The way she breaks down the steps for each move is very good. She goes through each step slow, then breaks it down slower, then fast. And the steps are practiced twice, w/verbal instruction and then with music. And you DO feel every move!! I haven't finished the DVD yet but i've watched most of it as well as her performances! She's the best i've seen, so far!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great workouts and performances, Feb 4 2009

By

shareenadancer (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shape Up N Hip Out! (DVD)

I have been working out to and watching Belly Dance performance DVD's for a few years now and have enjoyed this as one of the best I've seen. Very easy to follow and a great step drill as well. I like the differant levals of workouts, from light to intense, and the choice of voice on or off. It is great to see the many performances of the girls who are working out with Jillina and be able to compare styles.
I did have a problem with the Menu though and am not sure if it was just my player or the setup of the disc. This is the only disc that does this wierd thing for me by not going to the item on the menu and sometimes turning itself off. Amazon exchanged it right away but it is still glitchy. I can play it on my computer though, so till I get a new player that will have to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this DVD, it's quite the workout!
I love this DVD, it's very informative as it repeats the moves a few times so you can practice it. The beginner is probably where I will stay for a while since the advanced... Read more
