Editorial Review:

Product Description:


Join Veena & Neena Bidasha for a wonderful introduction to the extraordinary benefits of Bellydance. This ancient form of artistic movement has been practiced for thousands of years and remains exceptionally popular throughout the world. Once performed as entertainment for royalty and common people alike, these beautiful movements evolved with strong links to womanhood, sensuality and even fertility. But Bellydance is also one of the safest, simplest and most effective ways to achieve lasting fitness.



Bellydance Fitness for Beginners: Arms, Abs, Hips, Buns, and Thighs was designed to concentrate traditional Bellydance movements on the hips, buns and thighs. The moves are easy to learn and will isolate, stretch and strengthen your lower body. The captivating rhythms of the original soundtrack enhance the experience and in no time at all you will feel and see dramatic improvement.



The key to a healthy and fit body is regular exercise, but it is not always easy finding a fitness routine that is truly enjoyable. This workout is not only fun, but also a delightful way to develop personal expression through movement. It is an experience you will look forward to every day!






Rating: - Nice workout, however...
This is a workout DVD that incorporates some bellydancing elements. If you are looking for a video to teach you bellydancing then this is NOT it. However it is still a good workout. My arms were killing me about 10 mins into it! I wished there was more guidance though, I had to keep on looking at the twins and see what they were doing and if I had the right posture.

Rating: - Great fun
This DVD is such fun and what a workout! I've done many different types of exercises from Jazzercise to Pilates to weights, but this is so much fun and really isolates parts of your arms, abs, hips. Its slow enough to follow very easily and the music is great. Veena and Neena are wonderful instructors.

Rating: - Worth getting
It's just easier to read my other reviews as we bought a series of these and my wife really likes them. The biggest issue is you have to rewind a lot to really understand the various moves. But the style they use is very sensual.
Also for fitness it's ok but it's basically belly dancing and the fitness aspect is pretty much your basic belly dancing moves which are low impact aerobics.

Rating: - Great workout, fun and it shows!
Thanks to Neena and Veena!
Personally I like the 'abs and arms' part better than the 'buns and thighs' part, but that is also because I use slightly different techniques in bellydancing.
For the bellydancer this dvd offers a useful workout to strengthen the muscles used in dancing, and for the non-bellydancer it offers a useful workout to get into shape all the same.
I have practised a few times every week, for a few weeks, and I'm still not tired of the dvd.

Rating: - all the basics I remember
I had bought the VHS version of this DVD when I had a TV that only played VHS videos - now that I've had a DVD-only TV for the past few years, I decided to get copies of these in DVD. I'm so thankful that I did because these videos provide a basic understanding of belly dancing and a thorough workout, complete with warm-up, strength training, and cool-down. Veena and Neena are knowledgeable and explain the movements very clearly. This is a video every belly dancer should have: it is an excellent source ... Read More
