Summary: What a terrible excuse for Belly Dance!
Review: I was really sad I wasted money on this work out. Not only did Dolphina have poor form, but her comments were incredible annoying. I may do this video again.. on mute.

Summary: great workout!
Review: like the title says, this was a great workout. it's fun and challenging and you won't get sick of it. prior to this video, the only bellydance i'd done were some of veena and neena's exercise video, so at first there were tons of moves i couldn't do...but keep at it, and don't be discouraged...a month into doing it, i found myself "suddenly" being able to do them one day, and it's a great feeling (and i'm really uncoordinated, so it'll prolly be less than a month for other people). oh, and the set is absolutely beautiful!

Summary: Sorry, Dolphina
Review: Mostly, my low review comes from not being huge fan of the "arabesque" move. I was disappointed that it was relied on so heavily for this video. I've always preferred layering moves(think drum solo focus on belly/hips) to travelling steps. I would have preferred if she had used more layering moves. Theres a shimmy section (which gets you're heart rate up for a few mintues), and a hip section and an abs section (which are okay), but then a lot of travelling steps. If you are another dancer who prefers layering over travelling steps, don't get this video.
Do to the lack of layering (sorry, bitter) you don't get a great workout.
Also,I don't like the way it is broken up into sections: can't we mix it up!!

Summary: Excellent
Review: There is nothing that I did not like about this dvd. Dolphina's cues are right on and you can see her entire body the majority of the time so you don't get lost while learning. This is a combination workout and dance lesson. While it is targeted for someone who knows a bit about belly dancing, I think a beginner would not get lost. For the workout part, I definitely felt the heat. It is a good core workout. The dance choreography is more challenging and advanced but fun all the same. Dolphina is personable but not showy. I am very impressed!

Summary: This has taught me so much ! I Love It!
Review: This is great if you really want to learn to Bellydance. It's not that long and you will learn alot. I have all 4 DVD's and even though I've wacthed them over and over again, it's still fun. Me and my three daughters thought of the idea when we saw an ad in a health magazine. So since it was healthy, I agreed to buy the Dvd's and practice with my girls no matter what. Now we have costumes and we perform for special events, and even sometimes get payed! All I have to say is get this and enjoy!

Summary: Challenging yet fun!!!
Review: THIS is much better, much improved than her first one. I guess Dolphina was listening or reading to all the "not so flattering reviews" { although I enjoyed that one but not as much as this second one}
The quality is excellent, background is simple but soothing to the eye{ water...dessert like areas...}And Dolphina herself is pleasant to look at{ actually more like a GODDESS!!!}
The workout is challenging{ not for the ones whose clueless in bellydancing, that's why it's advance!}and very good abdominals workout and some good legs workout as well.
The workout start with warm goddess salutations, it's yoga-like but without the push-up-cobra-downward dog pose. Then on to
Hips {fun}, Arms and Upper body {short but sweet}, Undulations, {love those camel and dolphin {a new one to me} movements plus some legs movement}. Followed by Combination movements{ smooth to sharp, steps, hip cirle to chest circle, mambo steps, arabesque, etc} you will be challenged to this one. Then the wonderful shimmy movements. Dolphina finishes it with an exhilarating Routine{ beware though: a bit faster for me to follow but I will get this part downpat in the near future!!! and the steps turn can get confusing..} then a short cool down. The workout is 50 minutes long.
This workout will make you sweat and satisfied. I can't get enough of it, I'm doing it daily {well, almost}.This is worthy of your money. Most importantly you will have fun learning the moves and feeling like a goddess while burning calories.
Go ahead and try it!

Summary: So fun, I forgot I was exercising!
Review: This tape was my first experience with bellydance. I enjoyed it immensly. Though some of the moves were difficult for me, it inspired me to purchase Dolphina's other DVD's and to join bellydance classes in my area. Dolphina is young, beautiful and very supportive during the video. She really does a great job of breaking down each movement so that they are easy to understand instead of some videos that I have seen that just expect you to watch and follow along. Also I enjoyed the fact that she was knowledgable about the different muscle groups of the body and could describe exactly where and how the move should feel in your body to do it correctly. The sets were gorgeous, and the music inspiring. My only complaint would be that a few times Dolphina seems to lose her place and I wonder why those moments wern't edited, but overall I did not feel that it was detrimental to my enjoyment of the tape. I definately suggest purchasing Dolphina's first DVD, Goddess workout Introduction to Bellydance. It really helps break down some of the moves that she goes over in less detail in this, the 2nd installment. It was so enjoyable that I actually looked forward to coming home and doing the workout, and pursuing bellydance further.
