Discover Bellydance: Beyond Basic Dance

It's a fun video!

It's an easy to follow video that part of a series I believe this is disc five. But it stands on it's own without much reference to the other videos. They show the moves at full speed then break it into a few slow and easy steps. It got here in the time suggested and in good shape. Not much of a workout video but nice instructional video, I suggest getting a hip scarf with coins on it so you can hear the moves you're making. Good luck! - posted by Anonymous. on 2/16/2012

Low-pressure, fun video

I've tried a couple of bellydance videos, such as Kathy Smith, but I love these videos because they convey something of the culture that developed this form of dance. The set is decent, the music is not too loud, and the instruction is unobtrusive, so I can focus on watching and imitating rather than trying to process verbal direction. Not much of a workout, but great for stress reduction, boosting your self-image, and getting in some core work and stretching. As with other forms of dance, I find myself incorporating some of these movements into other activities. - posted by Beth on 10/14/2010

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

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

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).

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.
