Summary: Good , I like it
Review: It went slowly enough for me to master the basic moves. I felt as though I knew the women in the video and they were brave enough to share their stories. They weren't some paid actresses or something spouting off lines. These women were like me, that was so reassuring.

I would also advise the book Sex and the perfect lover by Mabel Iam approach elationships and sex intimacy.

Summary: Sexy Workout
Review: After trying belly dancing, I thought I'd take it to the next level and see if I could learn to let out the inner goddess in other interesting ways. I use a variety of exercise tapes and this one is perhaps the most exotic. What I was really looking for was a good workout with creative dancing.

This is not a video you will watch each time you want to "dance exotically." This is a video to teach you the basic moves.

I learned about 5 new moves that I was willing to add to my workout routine. Sometimes I just play music and make up my own moves. Sort of a dance routine that is flexible. It is more for my own relaxation and exercise. So, for that reason, I felt this was worth purchasing. I can tell you, I worked out muscles that none of my other workouts have touched.

I didn't really realize how much I was exercising because this video covers a lot of ground. You learn to walk, do hip rolls and then move to the floor to do various moves on your back. I loved the idea of pretending you were in a field of flowers. In many ways, this workout is also about letting out the inner joyful child who dances in fields of flowers.

The only problem with watching this video is that is it so fun to learn these exotic moves, you want to keep doing them all day long. LOL Look, I was never allowed to dance as a child. This is all new to me. For people who have been dancing all their lives, this might seem rather basic.

I would not suggest that you try this workout one day and expect to dance for your intimate partner the next day. You will be way too sore. Even if you have been using workout videos for years. Take your time. Watch this video a few times and then suddenly, weeks later, surprise your partner with a totally sexy new you.

The main benefits of this video:

You will release your inner goddess and let her out to play
You will achieve a new level of self confidence
You will spice up your relationship and amaze your partner

This workout also shows you how to maintain eye contact, let your guard down, try out new and exciting moves and use body language to increase your sensuality.

There is no nudity in this video. The women are all wearing workout clothes. They do use shirts to show a strip routine, but it is pretty calm. This is not really what you would see in a strip club (not that I've ever been to one, I just have seen women dancing in movies, and this is not quite at that level). This is more a series of sexy moves that you can incorporate into your own dance routines.

This really is a workout for everyday women. Many of the women in this video are just like you and I and they are not the type of women you would see dancing. So, that made me feel comfortable and even more confident.

So, give this a try. The worst that can happen is that you can hardly walk the next day because you have worked out your entire body. I had no idea this was such a great form of exercise. Look, I can't handle "fancy footwork" and I could actually do this video!

I agree with some of the other reviewers who said they would like to find a "solo" instructional video. This teaches you the moves, but it would be fun to find a video that was more of a workout routine. One you could use to workout to for an hour.

"The Art of Exotic Dancing For Everyday Women" is sexy, not slutty. That is an achievement in itself.

Summary: I can Exotic Dance!!! :-)
Review: Great video!!! I was surprised by the whole concept. Not only does it teach you some great sexy moves, but it helps you learn to feel more self confident about yourself. In the video, there are these "real" women that share their experiences and tips how to do certain moves. I think the video is very different, very new and teaches us "regular" women that we can be sexy, for ourselves and then for our mates. My video was not 23 minutes long, it was a whole hour and is really amazing!! It is very tastefully done. There is no nudity and there is a ton of stuff to learn besides just the dancing part...I love it!!

Summary: Excellent instructional video
Review: I absolutely LOVE this video... the moves were well-demonstrated and the cast consisted of a very experienced dancer as the instructor and real women-NOT BARBIES-learning the moves in a classroom setting. I loved that it didn't require any props other than a full-length mirror, and an oversized shirt. The instructor was very professional, experienced, and inspirational. The background women were not, as I mentioned, 95 pound barbies... they were all shapes, sizes, and ages, and they didn't make you feel clumsy for not doing the moves perfectly, because they didn't do them perfectly either-some even showed modifications for those who couldn't do them. The only reason I haven't memorized this yet is because it is an hour long and I don't have a lot of time with a baby in the house. (plus since I just gave birth I don't feel particularly sexy when I look in the mirror)

I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because:
A> It was hard to do the pivots on carpet.
B> Although the tape was an hour long, it was maybe half instruction, which isn't a lot of time-they could make the instructional part longer and cut back on the interviews a bit and make this a much better overall tape
C> It's kinda hard to watch myself in the mirror and the instructor on TV at the same time.
Other than these minor annoyances, it's one of my favorite videos. I would give it 4 1/2 stars if I could.

Summary: LAME and CHEAP
Review: I bought this tape thinking I would learn something: I don't dance at all. Half the tape is full of "testimonials" from other students. Some of the women look like deer caught in the headlights! To me, it was worthless. They do teach some basic stuff and you will learn, but very little. You'll learn more by going to a strip club. The instructor's movements seem robotic, as if she's never actually done this before. It was a waste of good money.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Go to a Club
Review: I bought this video because I thought it would teach me something I didn't already know. I was disappointed. You can learn just as much by going to a club and watching the dancers. It's not filmed very well. Mostly, the video contains testimonials from students who took the class.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very Disappointed!
Review: I came online looking for a cardio striptease that I could have fun with by myself for excercise and later with my husband once I got good. This program had a very few basic moves and went VEEEEEERY slowly. It never came together in the end with anything that you could remotely call a full dance, and there wasn't enough demonstration from the instructor to really allow me to make up my own. I can't even see myself practicing this one over and over again because I got bored with it fast. I'm looking for something new!

Summary: I loved this video!!
Review: I found this video to be great in teaching me some very basic, very sexy moves!! I have always been a bit "klutzy" and this video allowed me to accept that "klutziness" and turn it into something graceful and beautiful!!
The video also taught me how to really look someone in the eyes. What a powerful tool that is!!! :-) I am practicing this in the "real world" as well as in the privacy of my own home!! It's amazing how differently people respond to that kind of eye contact!!!
When I tried my newfound moves on my partner of 4 years, he was totally blown away! I don't think he ever thought I had it in me. Heck, I don't think I thought I had it in me!! ;-) But I do...everybody does. We just need to tap into that missing piece.
I highly reccommend this video, it has rocked my world (and my partner's!) and I think it is amazing!! Thank you.
