DVD Reviews of Perfect Hips Belly Dance Workout: Abs, Hips, Butt & Thighs (absolute beginner)

DVD Review: Perfect for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

THis was the perfect purchase for a beginner. She really breaks down the basic moves so that you really understand what it is you should be doing. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who already has a good background in belly dance. If you are new to belly dance it is a must have.

DVD Review: Great Workout Video
Summary: 5 Stars

So, after looking around at several belly dance videos, I settled on this one. I am very pleased I did! The workout is broken down nicely, with a warm up section, core strengthening, breakdown of moves, where she explains each move she will do in the video, and then putting it all together, in which she turns the exercise into a dance. The setting is very nice, as she's in front of a mirror with limited decorations to distract you. She explains how to do each move, and what it helps work out. The camera is good about focusing on what you need to see. Also, there is no neo age language going on. She doesn't ramble about being goddess' or anything like that. I don't have a problem with talk like that, but when I'm trying to work out, I'm not interested in it.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an introduction to basic belly dance moves who wants to get in shape.

DVD Review: More instructional than a workout
Summary: 4 Stars

I have used a bellydance video before (the "bellydance twins"), and so I have a tiny bit of experience with it. I do like this DVD; the instructor talks in a personable way, not the usual breathy or "you can do it!!" type. The moves are broken down in such a way that it's easy to understand what you need to do and goes slow enough that most people could keep up without a problem. My only issue is that the DVD is more instructional in bellydance than a workout. Once you have the moves down pat, then you could move on to the advanced portion and that would be a workout, but the first segments go far too slow. I "felt the burn", but that probably has more to do with being VERY out of shape than the difficulty of the routine. If you work out on a regular basis, this would be something to shake up your weekly routine but you probably won't be physically challenged. I will use the DVD, and I hope it might improve my flexibility and core, but I don't expect to really burn calories from this until I can make it through the advanced segment.

DVD Review: SUCKS!
Summary: 1 Stars

I received a defective DVD - the thing was stuck on the intro and just played the same song, over and over. I returned it for exchange and received yet ANOTHER one, with the same problem. I attempted to play both of these on more than one machine and got the same (non)results. Retirned for refund and will not order from this seller again.

DVD Review: Very good!
Summary: 3 Stars

The class is actually very good, I felt it working in my belly right away, very easy, and my husband has no complains! ;)
The only bad thing is that my copy skips quite a bit.

Description of Perfect Hips Belly Dance Workout: Abs, Hips, Butt & Thighs (absolute beginner)

Spice up your fitness routine with belly dance, a fun and exotic new workout that promotes strength, balance and confidence. Hosted by professional belly dancer and personal trainer, Michelle Joyce, this DVD is designed to introduce you to the basics of belly dance while strengthening and toning your abs, thighs, butt and hips.

The shimmies, undulations and hip isolations of this ancient art form are great for targeting the lower torso, an area that is prone to weight gain with age and after child birth.

Belly dance is the perfect way to celebrate your femininity while doing something fun and healthy.

Michelle is a multi award winning belly dancer who has performed around the world, which means you need not travel further than your own living room to learn 100% authentic belly dance. So put on a hip scarf and shimmy your way to a healthy body!

(This DVD is geared toward newcomers to belly dance and has a fitness emphasis. It is designed for exercisers who already have a base level of fitness and may be challenging for those who have never before engaged in an exercise routine.)
