Product Description

Description

This ancient form of artistic movement has been practiced for thousands of years and remains exceptionally popular throughout the world. Once performed as entertainment for royalty and common people alike, these beautiful movements evolved with strong links to womanhood, sensuality and even fertility. But bellydance is also one of the safest, simplest and most effective ways to achieve lasting fitness.

Join Veena & Neena Bidasha for a wonderful introduction to the extraordinary benefits of bellydance. They have practiced bellydance since childhood and traveled throughout the Middle East and India to perform and develop their techniques. They teach popular classes for a wide variety of folk dances from around the world and have performed in film, television, theater, music videos and even during the Academy Awards. Their amazing talent and delightful style will keep you captivated and totally motivated.

Bellydance Fitness for Beginners - Slim Down is a full-body workout that slims and tones your body through cardiovascular and strength dance moves. Fast bellydancing burns calories, while building cardiovascular endurance. Muscle isolation exercises tone your hips, buns, thighs and abdominals. All these moves interweave bellydance basics. So you're beautifying your body while practicing bellydancing's charms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD, April 5 2006
By A Customer
I love that DVD. Around 45 minutes and try for a month and it will make you to slim down for sure. It isn't a dance DVD, it
is for fitness. I have a couple other bellydance DVD but for me
it works the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun! but not for beginners..., Aug 15 2005
By A Customer
Being an experienced belly dancer, as well as having training in other forms of dance, I was looking for a work out that suited my interests, since I have been having trouble getting myself to the gym and pedaling on a bike for 20 minutes straight. (boooring) I found what I was looking for on this DVD...
however I would like to say that this work out is NOT for anyone who has never belly danced before, or any dance for that matter. The movements are not explained, and you are expected to know what they are just by watching the twins do them, and I know for a fact that is not the best way to learn new movements, unless you are an experienced dancer.
The twins use many arabic folklore steps through out the workout which involves lots of hops and jumps in barefeet. There are movements in this workout that could possibly injure someone who has never done this before, and the fact that the technique of these movements aren't explained clearly, the risk of injury could be worse.
For anyone who does have sufficient experience in belly dance, including arabic folklore, then this DVD is a great option for you, especially if you're trying to fit belly dancing into your exercise program. Although you might find the twin's cheesy fake smiles throughout the ENTIRE workout a little annoying, which is why i try not to look at the TV, until i need to know what the next step is.
And finally, this DVD is NOT designed to teach you how to belly dance...its a workout, and there is a big difference, and I find it funny that people who have written reviews in the past for these workouts would think otherwise. So if you are looking for something like that in this program, I would suggest taking an actual class, nothing works better than learning to dance in a live, intimate, and personal "IN CLASS" atmosphere, with your teacher available to assist you with steps in person, rather than from a TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my Life!, April 3 2005
By Amanda F. (Canada) - See all my reviews
This is the best workout video I have ever purchased or rented. This is not a "learn to belly dance" DVD, it is a workout. If you want to learn the dance you have to buy their instructional series. But boy! In three months, doing the workout every day, I lost 20 pounds (the most stubborn 20 pounds that did not come off with any other exercise) and I have the firmest legs I have ever had. It was easy to stick with it because it is so much fun. It is high intensity and, of course, that's the only thing that really burns the fat. It also makes you feel beautiful and graceful, and which other fitness video can say that!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's not what I expected
I've heard great things about this video, but my goal is really to learn to bellydance and this video is just a workout that uses a lot of bounces and hip drops. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great aerobic workout.....
This is a great aerobic workout, and it beautifully incorporates traditional bellydance moves. However, it is not perfect for someone who is looking to simply learn the dance. Read more
