 Fun and EasyApr 25, 2007
By MissB
My motivation for buying this DVD was to find a fun workout. I love the dance scenes in Bollywood movies as well as the music videos for Indian Pop music. This dance video with Meera is a great introduction to the commonly seen dance steps from the movies and it's also a good workout. I should point out I'm a dance beginner and not in very good shape. A seasoned dancer may find this DVD too easy. Meera explains everything clearly with ample demonstrations. The camera shows her whole body. There are no crazy zooms or angles.
Since I've been using this video the last month or so my grace and balance have improved, as well as some shrinkage of my butt (yay!). It was a fun way to exercise so I'll certainly be getting more of Meera's videos soon.

 Just Not EnoughJan 20, 2008
By PoiDancer
The few moves that she shows are repeated enough to really get them down, but the music is very repetitive and gets annoying. The DVD needs 1) More combos!!!! (The ALI DVD I bought has about 14 interesting combos in it and sets a heck of a standard) and 2)Better music selection.
Also, the performance segment didn't show any of the moves she taught and had quite a few that I would love to have learned instead. It's frustrating to see a performance that has completely different moves- it makes you feel as though you are far, far from performing, even in casual settings.
I do think the moves she showed were easyily broken down, but for the cost, it wasn't what it should have been.

 Fun Exercise!!Nov 25, 2007
By C. Nemitz
I love this exercise video! I really like Meera! Unlike some exercise instructors, her personality and voice aren't annoying at all. Everything is explained thoroughly. She gives you time to learn the move plus, it's a dvd so you can always go back. Even if you're not coordinated you can take it slow. Pause and try to get it right. Just think, you're still exercising even if you're just practicing one move to get it right. I always use a mirror with exercise to make sure I'm doing the move correctly.
I had my first child almost 10 months ago and I'm still trying to find time for exercise. So, I'm quite out of shape. However, I don't always get to finish, I still feel a burn when I do this video. I really want to collect her other 3 videos. I saw a preview of them on this particular dvd. They all look excellent!!

Great Instructional DVDOct 19, 2007
By Laughing Stone
The moves in this DVD are well explained and gracefully executed. I feel like I am learning actual Bollywood moves. The filming and set are professional quality.
I find though that my heart rate is not elevated much (except during one move called the Heart of Bombay). Compared to aerobic dance, Celtic dance, and pop dance, this DVD has a much slower pace. Despite that, the DVD will improve your overall posture and movements since all the motions require control, grace, and involve muscles in the whole body.
My only regrets are that just a handful of moves were demonstrated and that the background music was a bit bland and repetitive. I do plan to buy more of Meera's DVDs in the future.

Bollywood Dance Fitness DVD kicks it up a notch!Sep 22, 2007
By S. Dengler
"Family"
Have you hit a plateau in your attempt to find fitness? Do you want to find a bit of adventure to add to your dance routine? This DVD by Meera will invigorate your fitness routine and add a dash of Indian spice into your life. I am a participant in many forms of Asian folk and Middle Eastern folk dances, with a well established performing career. I am familiar with dancing to fast-paced drum solos, complicated choreography, and difficult rhythms, but even beginners will find the Dances of India DVD series enjoyable and exotic. I am so excited to add yet another layer of dance depth to my repetoire.
I have found that this Instructional Dance DVD is a great way to revamp the dull and boring cardio workouts, and is full of intriguing dance moves and postures, and the Oriental decor of the set really enlivens the imagination. The Instructor gives a great demo of the moves, slowly at first and then gets you up to tempo with the music.
My only unfavorable comment is that I feel the instructor/producer should have allowed for a longer warm up and cool down time, but that is easily remedied at home by doing a few extra stretches before and after the ones provided.
