 Beautiful and FunJul 15, 2003
This is a workout you WILL do, because it is fun. I would recommend using a mirror to be sure your body is moving properly. The only disapointments would be that she often talks you through a new move only once then expects you to do it ten times fast which even I had trouble doing and I am fairly coordinated. There is also a lot of stopping for segment introductions which interferes with the cardio aspect. I assume that the answer to those problems would be go slowly don't be afraid to hang out in front of the mirror working on one move and keep moving through the segment changes.The visual is beautiful, The costumes are amazing, she is gorgeous and if this workout gives me a figure like hers I will do it every day. She also teaches you a rather impressive dance routine at the end.

 Definatly not for the beginner!Mar 24, 2003
By baberuthless
I bought this DVD looking for a challenge - which this workout certainly is. Unfortunatly, Dolphina spends too little time explaining the moves and too much time talking about the "goddess within". Although the setting of the workout is lovely, I find the bright white background and the glittering water a bit hard to look at while concentrating on the moves.I would only recommend this workout for those who are able to pick up new moves quickly! I am a intermediate level belly dancer and I have had trouble catching on to the moves. I find myself going over and over the scenes to catch the correct movement. More time could be spent explaining the mechanics of the move. That said, I was looking for something more challenging than the "Neena & Veena" workouts, and this workout fits the bill. Whether or not the moves carry over to my dance class remains to be seen!

 Just RidiculousSep 22, 2010
By JP
This is a complete joke, and you can't even call it a workout. I agree that she doesn't really explain the moves well, so you're always scrambling to figure out what's going on. For me, the really bad part is that it's not a workout at all. There's nothing the least bit physically challenging about it. I didn't breathe hard, I didn't sweat, I didn't feel sore or challenged. Even the most basic of yoga workouts makes you feel like you're working, but not this waste of time. I think I might burn more calories laying in bed reading a heavy book.

hilarious dialogueJul 12, 2010
By lieblings
The things she says, made me out and out laugh while trying to pay attention to what she was doing, the dialogue is just that bad. "Pretend you have a precious ruby and you don't want to share it, you want to hide it from the world, now you've discovered it's flawed, so pop it out, now you realize it's not flawed so bring it back" Really?! Besides the dialogue, I felt the workout was overall ineffective, and she's hard to follow, I felt like it was a nice little stretch which was nice, but still needed to get a jog in to get my heart rate up.
 Great workoutFeb 15, 2012

I like doing this because it makes me sweat. I can now do shimmies because of this. It is not as romantic focused as her basic one. It feels like a workout. I recommend basic for beginners and this for people who are beyond basic.
