 Too little for the priceJan 27, 2009
I got this video since the reviews made it sound like it was a fun blend, taking bellydancing and making it a bit less formal so it could be used for club dancing. Overall, I was very disappointed. The instruction was extremely simple and poor. It did not give pointers to explain how to make the moves look correct, nor how to do them correctly while protecting your lower back. The workout section is extremely simple, which is great if you're a bad dancer (like me!) but not very fun or challenging in the long run. The improvisational section was effective at pointing out the "forest for the trees" when trying to improv dance, but otherwise not too helpful. Even the performance sections were disappointing, as half of them were clips from various performances, all set to one song, or were filmed oddly. There were many times when the camera focused on one body half, and you were left guessing what the whole performance looked like. Even when the camera zoomed out, it zoomed out too far. The best part of this video, sadly, is the interviews. I found them inspirational, and they gave me good food for thought. If I had rented this video first, I never would have bought it. Since I've already paid for it, I'm debating whether the little bit of info in the interviews and improv sections make it worth keeping. If you want a good instructional video, PLEASE check out Jenna's "Bellydance Basics and Beyond" -- it is EXCELLENT instruction with tons of pointers and tips! I'm still seeking a good bellydance workout video, but I like "10 Minute Solution: Fat Blasting Dance Mix" as a fun and easy set of dance workouts. Having said all that, the ladies are definitely talented and I would love a quality performance video of them, but I will definitely steer clear of their instructional DVDs.
 well, not for me.Nov 20, 2008
I rented this title and quickly realized it's not for me (it wasn't intended to be - I've been performing for many many years). Still I went to the performance part and was dissapointed by the gypsy piece.
I've been learning these very moves from different teachers passing them from teacher to teacher, but somehow they don't make any sense if the feeling is not behind them and Kaeshi, a wonderful dancer otherwise, sadly fails to convey the power and the cheekyness that is required for this type of dance. If you don't feel the gesture, it's better to not do it at all!! It just feels silly.
But I have seen her dance in other circumstances, live etc, and I love that woman! she is the cat's meow.
 Cute and very fun. For beginners.Oct 19, 2008
This is a really basic bellydance DVD. I would recommend it for three reasons: 1.) the dancers look like they are having so much fun, that it's catching. I'm in a better mood after this--a lot of other bellydance DVDs are almost grim in comparison. 2.) There is a huge amount of extra material. If you want to know anything about the Bellydance Superstars, there are biographical interviews and lots of dance solo extras. 3.) There is an additional CD, so if you don't have music to bellydance to, if you buy this, you don't have to get other music.
What's not so great about this: in a lot of the moves, they don't tell you which muscles to use.
The fun way to learn.Jan 06, 2008
This is not a traditional bellydancing video. It has some Hip Hop in it as well such as the "V Pop." The music is abrabic with some hip hop beats. I had a lot of fun with this video. I understood the instruction well. I have learned some moves from a book such as the chest slide and the hip lift and drop. From this video, I learned the Omni Circle, Inward Figure eights, half turn step, the shimmy chest circles, hip pop, and the camel. After explaining the moves they put a couple togeather and do a little traveling. It's fun and I like the music. They talk about improvisation and there is a CD with just the music so you can dance to it yourself. I have fun with this DVD and I feel my muscles after this as well. They start off slow and go faster but you can keep to your own pace and grow with it. At the end there is a little dance at the end in a club atmosphere. My mom thought the instruction was good and had fun with this video as well.

Will get you up and movin'!!Dec 05, 2007
I own several bellydance DVDs and wish I had purchased this one sooner. This is an excellent and well paced bellydance workout for beginners. I can tell they put a lot of thought into what should be included in this DVD. Bellydance instruction is successfully integrated into the workout. I am a plus size and I felt comfortable with the pace. The music alone makes you want to get up groove and it doesn't hurt that they included a separate music CD. You get a lot for your money with this one: Instruction, workout, interviews, performances, cccccccd.
