5.0 out of 5 stars Nice workout!

I love this workout. Rania gives clear instructions and the moves are not difficult. Though it's called hip hop drop there wasn't much hip hop in it that I could see. Now lots of hip movements, lots of hip drops and hip circles but no real hip hop moves. I really love the workout though. If you have limited space you can still do this workout. The workout has a nice pacing as well. The workout is about 30 mins total. I loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots Of Fun And Not Boring!
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2005

What a great way to work out! Not to mention practicing bellydance moves! This will get your heart rate up and put a smile on your face!

Some of the other reviewers say Rania is stiff. But she's not stiff at all. However, I think I can figure out why people would say that!

After watching the workouts before I did them, I realized that Rania has VERY slim hips. And since so much of belly dance involves hip movement, it appears that she is not moving her hips very much.

So don't hesitate to spice up your boring old workout with some fun, not to mention sexy, dance moves!

Update: I've been working out on a consistent basis for about two months now. I'm doing the Cardio Shimmy at this point in time and I've lost a dress size! So ladies shake your shimmy, have a blast and lose weight!

Update and info for my disabled Sisters: I have Secondary-Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and have very bad balance. Even with my issues, I am able to do all of the moves, except one, plus the parts of the cool down where you have to stand on one foot. So I simply substitute another movement which I can do and for the parts of the cool down where I am supposed to stand on one foot, I use a piece of furniture for balance. So the moral of this story is, just because you have balance problems, and you want to bellydance, adapt whatever you need to and GO FOR IT!!! BECAUSE BELLYDANCING WORKOUTS ARE FUN!!! So...have fun with the workout I'm currently doing and Hip Drop to Hip Hop!!! WOO-HOO!!!

UPDATE: Well, I'm currently doing Pure Sweat and I just want to say, that is is QUITE an intense workout! Very fast-paced and I'm having a bit of trouble learning some of the moves. But...it's getting easier and it's loads of fun, like the other two I've learnt so far! What a gift to have a workout I don't have to make myself do. I do it for the pure pleasure of moving my body to music.

UPDATE: I've been doing Bellydance Boogie, and it's a LOT harder than it looks. It's really more of a strength training workout than an aerobic workout. Due to my balance problems and vertigo, I can't do a few of the movements, I simply do other things. I'd say that this workout is my least favorite of all of them. However, it does teach some essential bellydance movements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rania Discover Belly Dance - Fabulously!
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2009

Well I've read some of the other reviews and I've tried all the DVD's in this set, more than once. First, of all I want to qualify my experiences. I'm not a dance expert, nor am I a fitness expert. However, I did spend my youth in Gymnastics and I also spent a number of years on many dance floors dancing the night away.

Of late I've been using various Pilates DVD's which can be useful for helping to tone and isolate muscle, but is quite boring after a while, so I was more than ready to get off the floor and get these old bones moving. Since menopause has crept up on me I'm definitely needing to get moving about and lose some unwanted weight, so Rania is a great starting point. I'm looking forward to mastering her dance steps and finding my youthful waistline again.

One reviewer indicated this DVD was not inspiring while another said it did nothing for them and didn't teach belly dancing. Well if you are already a dance expert this may not be what you want, however, to the one who said it didn't teach belly dancing clearly they did not listen and observe in "class". Rania does a great job of showing all the steps and moves, although I do agree that more direction of exact movements would be helpful to the beginner, I was able to stop and watch, rewind and begin again as I'm sure you can too! I found it particularly useful after practicing with two of the discs to view a couple of her belly dancing performances. If you watch Rania perform you can see that everything she does in her performances she has already taught you in the exercise DVD's! Be a good student and repeat and practice and you will not only learn to belly dance and possibly perform for your hubby or significant other :)) but you will also trim up that waist along with the rest of your natural curves that only a woman can have!

One other thing....even though belly dancing is not typically a 'male' thing....my 13 year old boy is doing it with me and says some of the dancing moves are just like "Tae Bo" and he loves it! LOL Hey, if we can teach the guys to appreciate dancing young, then they will make better husbands, eh? Enjoy what Rania has to offer....I am!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Cardio Workout for Variety
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2004

I noticed a lot of comments about the bad music. I guess I just tuned it out because I didn't notice it one way or the other!
I'm not a belly dancer or dancer of any sort so I can't comment on the authenticity of the dancing but I was looking for a good cardio routine that was different from the basic grapevine, step, etc. workouts and that is what I found. I think it is very intense and I consider myself intermediate. I've actually had a hard time doing the whole thing nonstop.
My calves killed me the next day after doing the choo-choos (shimmy on tippy-toes) but you can always work into it gradually. I did feel than Rania had a pretty fakey look on her face most of the time - kind of like a stepford wife look. I actually focused more on the 2 blondes in the back that looked like they were having more fun.
All in all I would recommend this DVD as a good one for your collection.

各巻３０分ほどですが、夢中になって踊っているうちにあっという間に終わってしまいます。
「Pure sweat」「Cardio shimmy」の２つは、たっぷり汗がかける、割合激しい動きのものです。
「Hip drop hip hop」「Bellydance boogie」は、テンポが先の２つよりゆっくりめで、一つ一つの動きに集中する感じです。
動きの細かい指導はなく、どんどん進んでいきますので、初心者むけではないと思います。ベリーダンスの基本の動きを習得されている方にはお勧めです。
