Product Description

Video Details

This program introduces the fundamental movements of Bellydancing. You will learn the basic dance moves that will enable you to perform a fully choreographed dance routine. After a satisfying warm-up, you will receive step-by-step instructions from identical twins, Veena & Neena, on how to execute the upper and lower body movements associated with Bellydance. The elements are isolated and taught slowly, so you can learn each oen’s subtleties. As you become more comfortable with the moves, you can develop speed and expression. Veena & Neena will teach you hip drops and shimmies, undulations, half-turns and wrist circles combined with graceful arm and shoulder moves. Now you are ready to integrate these movements into a fun and exciting choreographed dance routine.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good supplement to classes, Jun 25 2004
By Inscription (Kansas City, MO United States) - See all my reviews
I bought this DVD to give me a practice guide at home, since my "real life" classes are only once a week. Overall, I found it helpful, and I think that it would be helpful to someone who just wants to get a "feel" for belly dance. While it's not going to be as effective without feedback from an instructor, it's done in a way that is easy to understand, especially if you watch it a few times. So I would certainly recommend it to an absolute beginner. That said- the pace can be a little uneven; there are times when I feel I am getting a good workout but moments later, it's going so slowly I get impatient. Also, while the steps are taught slowly and can easily be followed, when they are put together into a choreographed dance, there's no instruction as to the transitions, which can be irritating. Worse, instructors Veena and Neena wear skirts when they execute the dance, so it's difficult to see what they are doing and follow their examples. I do like watching them, though- they seem to be having a fine time and not getting impatient the way I am! Until I can afford to take classes several times a week (read: never) the DVD is a good, fun workout. I plan on purchasing the two follow-ups in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, not great, for beginners., Aug 5 2003
By A Customer
This DVD was mostly good. It was slow enough for me, a complete beginner to ANY dancing, that at times it was too slow. The voice over was a little annoying, I was hoping Veena and Neena would instruct as well as show the moves. There were a few times the camera would be on their upper body when I needed to see what their legs were doing. And when you finally get to the choreography part where you do the dance, they're wearing skirts, and you can't see their legs and what they're doing and I got lost in the first 10 seconds, went back three times to the beginning of the dance and gave up finally.

Overall it was good and definitely worth it. I'm using it as an introduction so I can learn the moves and then work up to the fitness tapes to use bellydancing as exercise. I haven't exercised in years, and it was the perfect amount of exertion for a beginner. It also gave me confidence and it's so fun when you get a move down they're showing you. Nearly every move is easier than it looks.

5.0 out of 5 stars The video for the beginning dancer, Jul 15 2003
By Diane Brzozowski "Diane B." (Montpelier, VT) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is best to buy the Discover Bellydance set, as each video builds on the first and the tapes are wonderful. Anyone interested in learning to bellydance should work with this video, particularly if formal instruction is not available. These videos are geared towards the beginnig dancer instead of a workout video, which is a refreshing change for the student of bellydance.

2.0 out of 5 stars How would a beginner would learn from this DVD?
The twins are fine dancers, but the "teaching" style in this DVD is basically the old "I dance; you follow. Read more
