Classic and Classy.......2007-04-10

I originally bought the intro to belly dance on vhs tape, a long time ago. I decided to get the set, because it was economical, and I thought a great way to keep dancing while I live in another country. The set is lovely, well thought out, and a great excersise. I find Dolphina to be classy, elegant, and encouraging. She encourages all women to see themselves as the Goddess and to find that inner peace and strength that we all need in our daily lives. Also a great stress reducer! I use the two dance workouts every other day, and in between I work with veils and finger cymbals. These are not my only dance videos, but they are the ones I return to again and again. If you want the sensual side of belly dance, these are the DVDs for you.

Dolphina's DVDs.......2007-03-29

I really liked these dvds, I did notice that the person taping the workouts should have did a lot better, because Dolphina would be working on one part of the body and the camera would be on a different part of the body that wasn't even working out...The finger cymbals dvd could have had a lot more rythyms, and I would highly suggest Ansuya's dvd for finger cymbals if you would like to explore more into the finger cymbals...if you would like to try out the dvds, I would recommend you watching them through first and then trying them out, especially if you are a beginner. I do like the dvds though, and they are taped in beautiful locations. When I tried the introduction to bellydance dvd, even though I have been bellydancing for about 4-5 years now, I actually felt like I worked out. I would also recommend anything from Jillina, Ansuya, Bellydance Superstars, Neena and Veena...I have a lot more to recommend, but if you look around you will find things you like...

One of my dance instructors recommended the Goddess Workout DVD's for practice at home. Dolphina makes it easy and fun. I was having trouble with zils and Dolphina's instruction is helping me alot! I have recommended this series to several of my dance mates.

OK, if you're looking for a quick class in Eastern religions, you probably want your local community college. If you want to be a real belly dancer, again you might want to go to an actual class. However, if you want to engage in a beautiful workout that is definitely different than anything you'll take at your local Bali gym, this is pretty darn good. There is a little showmanship involved, and some metaphysical discussion. (I mean it IS supposed to be a Goddess workout. There it is - a religious word right in the title, folks. No excuse for any confusion here.) For a GODDESS workout it sets up a beautiful environment and teaches some lovely, feminine moves. It also works up a sweat! Dolphina (ok, like that's her REAL name) takes you through the movements very well. I'm accustomed to getting bored with the plodding pace of most videos, but this one moves pretty quickly and kept me pleasantly busy. However, Dolphina doesn't make you feel inadequate if you can't keep up with everything right away. By the second time I did the video I pretty much kept up. It might even have been better if I had watched it once through first, but I was too eager to get started with this one. Listen people, if you have an easy time keeping up with a workout involving dance on your first try, you aren't really doing or learning anything! If you're seriously out of shape, start with something like pilates to achieve basic tone and flexibility, then move up to this. It takes some coordination and fitness to start, but it's loads of fun and leaves you feeling both feminine and exhausted - a perfect workout!

Edit: I thought it might be helpful to add that I tend to tire quickly of exercise vids, but I find myself craving this workout. Most of the time I have to set reminders and drag myself groaning from my desk, but I actually find myself thinking during the day, "I wonder if I'll have time to do my bellydance video today?" It's a keeper. However, I do want to agree with the person who said the camera focuses on her face in a few key moments. It won't keep you from learning overall, but it certainly is annoying the first couple of times when you're just picking up the moves.

I am a bellydance student and maybe that is why I hate these videos. I thought I'd just pick them up to use at home to expand my dancing, but the way she "teaches" stinks! She barely explains anything new before you move right into a choreographed dance lesson. Especially the Zills choreography. Ugh, I can't even imagine I'll use them again. Hope someone enjoyed them.
