Instructional... not a workout.

This wouldnt be a "workout." I didn't get tired at all-- My muscles didn't really feel worked out at all-- I workout everyday for an hour. I think I was able to watch the first few segments where they dance and catch on--- fast forward to areas I wanted more instruction on--- and whala. :-) But if you aren't looking for a class and you want to learn, this is good. NO GO if you're looking for exercise - posted by on 11/1/2005

Loved the rest, but this one made me sick

I love the Bellydance videos and own all of them, both the fitness and instructional videos. I use them all the time, except this one, which I've only viewed once, because all the twirling made me dizzy and sick. - posted by Jessica on 8/28/2004

love it

I am a beginner bellydance student and this video gives great instruction. It is not a workout, it's dance but it does get your heart-rate going during the choreographed dance at the end. The camera angles are perfect, the twins give good instruction and spend enough time for you to grasp each move. I have done this tape a number of times and I still haven't mastered it perfectly, this video is great. - posted by ang on 1/23/2002

good instruction, includes veil work

I am a beginner bellydance student. This tape introduces you to the slower moves of bellydancing. I finally mastered figure 8 hip moves because of their good instruction. I still can't get the turns/spins right. The veil work is great BUT the choreographed dance would have been better if it included an option for not using the veil, they tell us we can do it without a veil but it does not incorporate many of the moves taught. This tape is great and is a must for bellydance students. - posted by Ang on 12/11/2001

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Music only option

This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).
