DVD Reviews of Bellydance Rhythms Workout
DVD Review: Good workout, poor Belly Dance Rhythm tutorial
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have avoided Neon DVDs (as I had) because you are in possession of "Instant Belly Dancer", which is a VERY beginner level DVD, because are looking for something more challenging, please do try some of her other DVDs.
This DVD has two "flows" (beginner and intermediate). The beginner level is really a higher level beginner level than her ENTIRE "Instant Bellydancer" DVD. The intermediate level is pretty much that, with one or two segments of higher (more challenging) intermediate, but the whole DVD is very "do able".
The reason that I did not give this 5 stars is because, really, I bought this DVD to sort of have a catalog of the common Arabic Rhythms used in Belly Dance. I was hoping for something that would help anyone to distinguish between the various common rhythms, and perhaps, help someone trying to work on their zill skills. I don't think this DVD really does the job. Many of the Arabic Rhythms that are commonly used in Belly Dance are really quite similar in nature. From a western musician's standpoint it's all about beats per measure. Many of the rhythms for belly dance are counted in 8. So, it all comes down to "where are the accents?" This DVD does not really help in that regard.
If you are trying to play Zills, one of the common "raps" you hear from teachers is the "dum dum tek-a-tek" kind of thing. This DVD does a "low low-hi hi" thing, which is similar in some respects, but not quite the same. The "low/hi" thing is more about where the drummer is striking the drum, and the sound it produces as a result. Neon will chant the "low/hi" thing in the narrated sections, and it's often out of phase with what the drummers are doing, so, only adding to the non-helpfulness of the thing.
Bottom Line: Very good work out. Not a very good tutorial on Arabic Rhythms.
DVD Review: not for beginners and a lot of work
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this dvd and tried it 3 times. It has section where Neon goes thru movements - this has no music, just voice and her showing the moves. It is in 2nd half of dvd btw. 1st half starts with dancing, I felt just drum is ok but is it really intense and she goes fast! I thought I have to build up technique before I can actually move on to 1st part so I practiced 2nd half which is very boring without the music. by the time I wanted to move on to real dancing about 1 hr passed. and trying next time to start from 1st part made me feel i already forgot how to fine tune the moves. Its just too much pain... then I tried Amira 101 and it is slow enough and I feel like I am doing it right now, the setting and music so much better too. may be later when I am more advanced i will return to Neon. She is excellent instructor but dvd is just composed in weird fashion. Amira will likely become too basic at some point. search continues to perfect belly dance workout.DVD Review: She's talented...

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great dvd for beginners as well as intermediate. There is a section especially broke down for beginners. Also teaching you the rhythms by drums. I would highly recommend it!!
