DVD Reviews of Bellydance With... Jillina: Shape Up n' Hip Out!
DVD Review: fun workout package from a REAL bellydancer
Summary: 4 Stars
In my utter Jillina fandom, I bought her latest 4 DVD set, and with a little bit of time before my rehearsal with Lilya, I popped in Shape Up or Hip Out. Now, this is a bellydance workout video, better than I have seen on the market before, aside from Aziza's Drilling DVD. This one was really intended simply as a workout, not a drill or technique video. and it is far better than Dolphina's "Goddess Workout" or the Bellytwins or - and perhaps especially better than Rania's.
There is a warmup on the DVD. I could only criticize it in that it doesn't seem exactly safe for all people. There are some deep knee bends that seem ill-advised, and I'm not sure if it's the best way to warm up. Also, she uses yoga-inspired moves, but without the yoga-inspired cueing, people may miss the point of the stretch. Overall, I would do my own warmup and move on. Good thing it's a separate menu item.
Next is the Slow Moves. I admit I skipped this one when it started with a very slow broken-down snake arm. I don't ever want to do a slow broken-down snake arm again because every damn belly-fitness class or video has them and, well, I know how to do snake arms and there is nothing to be gained for me in breaking them down into their components.
The second workout was a bit more upbeat and the third workout, while no marathon, was the fastest. I became mildly warm, although I did not sweat through the whole forty minutes. The format was this: breakdown two movements slowly, then do it them fulltime. Then repeat the entire sequence from the beginning, stringing all the pairs of movements together. Jillina puts an emphasis on the muscles, talking about obliques, abs, and glutes. She even modified her normal technique. For example, camels include the chest - whereas on her other videos, she teaches them excluding the chest. Later on in the video, she uses hip shimmies, with bent knees, rather than Egyptian knee-driven shimmies - and she adds an ATS-style arm pull to her hip lift walk. Many more of her movements are flat-footed rather than releve. All this is a sign that Jillina understood this was to be a workout video, not a technique video, and she took the most athletic ways of doing things from a variety of styles and combined it.
A beginner could easily follow this video, although some movements would be difficult for them, such as the haggalah. The 'choreography' such that it is was simple, 8 counts of each move like any aerobics class. This would teach the beginner a lot of movements, in a basic choreography that is more exciting than a drill. Plus, remembering the steps in sequence is preparation for choreography. For the intermediate dancer, the challenge would be adding the arm movements that accompany. Finally, the advanced dancer could focus on her posture and smooth transitions. All dancers could use this "workout time" to strengthen their muscles.
