Does anyone know of any good bellydancing DVDs? I want to start doing bellydancing for cardio since I don't like all other forms of cardio, but I don't really know where to start.

Rayray, I saw a post that you do bellydancing, do you follow any kind of tapes?

*I loved the Veena & Neena Fat Burning one. It's INTENSE. I did it, and I thought I was gonna die. It was a great workout, though. They also have other ones, like arms & abs & thighs & butt, which feature a beautiful routine at the end. Those can get a bit boring after a while, though, so...that's why I haven't done them in years http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif lol.

I read the reviews for the DVD that you are talking about and I didn't really like it based on the reviews. According to the reviews, it's hard to see what the instructors are doing because they are wearing long skirts that cover their legs and the instructions don't follow what they doing sometimes. Also the camera angles are off according to reviews, like the camera will be focused above the waist when they are talking about hip positions.

I need a video that is very clear on instructions and technique.

But thanks for the rec. If I don't find another tape, I will consider using this one.

*The only time they're wearing skirts is in the actual dance performances. In the workout part of the video, they wear spandex capris lol.

I love bellydancing. I have this video like from the 80's, but I go online and read about moves and techniques. Most of it I freestyle. Bellyrolls really help burn fat and make your abs flat. I have 3 hip scarves, ankles bells, and finger cymbals. I also have this Shakira Live in Concert dvd. I copy her moves. It's fun.
