Summary: Fun and engaging
Review: A good workout that you can truely enjoy. Although beginners should first work with Dolphina's "Goddess Workout" tape to learn basic moves. Be sure to have space if using a veil but it is not necessary, as the arm movements can be practiced alone. Of course the veil does make a performance much more visually stunning.

Summary: I thought it was a lot of fun!
Review: As a new bellydance student, I was looking for something to practice with between classes. I bought this DVD to give me a little headstart before the instructor brings out the veils. To be honest I've been a huge fan of the Bellytwins, Veena and Neena, so I was a smidge skeptical of Dolphina. But as I worked out with the DVD I found that I caught on better with Dolphina's instructions. It's great for practice. Obviously, it's a workout for beginners, so take it for what it's worth. Just because she doesn't explain all the spiritual meanings or have a hooka-pipe for set dressing, it doesn't mean it's an "insult" to bellydancing as that last review suggested. Lighten up, Lady! Have some fun. Which is exactly what this workout disc is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect Practice Session
Review: As a new or advanced Belly Dance student this is an excellent addition to your collection. Dolphina demonstrates several veil moves in a short amount of time, but leaves enough time to practice. The video/dvd is less than 30 minutes long which means less chance for boredom. I absolutely love this video despite the fact that I have been belly dancing for over 6 years.

Summary: The Goddess Workout with Dolphina Veils
Review: Sadly this DVD was TRAGIC!!!!!!!!!
For anyone who has actually studied the wonderful art of Bellydance it is insulting to say the least.
Dolphina has no grasp for the depth of culture or history relating to Bellydance and appears to be from the "Wiggle and Giggle" school of Bellydance.

She often described one move and demonstrated something entirely different.

It saddens me that this DVD is portrayed as "Bellydancing" and for those who have not experienced the real thing this is a terrible example.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun Workout!
Review: This was the most fun I have ever had doing a workout! Those mysterious bellydancers make dancing with a veil easy. It is a challenging workout that is not easily mastered the first time, but I had so much fun laughing at myself, I am looking forward to my next workout. I definately felt the arm workout, too. This video requires some space, so move the coffee table and have fun!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A fun workout
Review: This workout is a lot of fun, and you will feel it in your arms and upper back. Dolphina does a pretty good job of explaining the veil movements, and she wasn't quite as annoying to me on this video as she was on some of her previous ones.

I found that this was a pretty good upper body workout, especially for days where you don't want anything really high intensity. I do recommend that you use a veil for it though. A towel does not work, and you can't really tell if your form is correct without the veil.
