Synopsis

Originating in the Middle East and North Africa, the ancient art form of belly dancing has been practiced by women for thousands of years. Utilizing sensual and graceful movements of the hips, abdomen, and arms, the dance was once performed as entertainment for royalty and was also linked to femininity and fertility. In addition to the beauty of the dance, however, come the added benefits of flexibility and overall fitness. The Bellydance series offers a wonderful introduction to belly dancing as a form of exercise. Instructors Veena Bidasha and her sister Neena Bidasha have practiced belly dancing since childhood and have traveled throughout the Middle East and India to perform and develop their techniques. They lead the participant through simple routines that are designed to teach the fundamentals of belly dancing while being fun and invigorating. ~ Sarah Block, All Movie Guide

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful..., Sep 15 2009
By R. Maharaj - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
These women are really good. Just remember that they've done this all their lives. It's a good workout. Some very interesting moves to loosen. It's hard for a beginner to keep up with the intense parts but I guess that's something to work up to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great workout for the out of shape and rushed!, Jul 15 2004
By Mary Z. Cox (Tallahassee, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love the beginning workout on this CD. It reminds me a lot of Tai Chi--but with music and some prettier moves. I bought this DVD to have a short and easy workout to alternate with an easy Tai Chi workout. I can almost do this workout and will be able to do it soon. It covers all sections of my body, but is not so strenuous that I will damage myself. Veena and Neena are experienced instructors and they make the workout fun, relaxing and thorough. I have not done the fat burning portion yet--I will save it for when I can do the basic moves easily and want to step up the action. It looks like there is a more advanced set of DVDs that is available if I ever get really smooth and want to move it up more.
This is a very professionally done DVD with attention to scene and background selection, good sound, selection of music and costuming as well as sound method.
Many films of this nature often leave a lot to be desired--but this one is professionally laid out and I will enjoy it for years.
I will probably buy the more advanced three set if I put in enough time to get smooth on this beginning tape.:)
I am too old to want to bellydance in a public class, but this is really fun and inspiring to try this in my own home. :)

3.0 out of 5 stars half good half bad, Jul 11 2004
By Alex (Mex) - See all my reviews
The twins are very good instructors, the first section Basic Moves is intersting and fun, fine for beginners and for the people who wants to do some workout,but the second section Fat Burning is very very very bored,tedius and you can hurt your knees because always is jump and jump. If you want to learn bellydance you can have The Sensual Art of Bellydance series, they are very nice,sensual, fun and they teach you very good.

3.0 out of 5 stars One routine is very easy; the other is very hard.
Fat Burning (25 mins) really zaps your calves. There is a lot of hopping, which you can make easier just by stepping through the moves, or by slowing down. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Silly People
I love how seemingly the only complaints people have about the DVDs from Veena and Neena center around the fact that they aren't dance instructional videos. Duh people. Read more
