Product Description Starring Neon, Sarah Skinner, Blanca. About the Director .

Review: an actual BELLYDANCE workout!!! - I was pretty turned off by the 'beginner' aspect of the title, so I hesitated to purchase this DVD. After completing the workout I was really happy I did buy it. First off, it is probably too much for absolute beginners, if you have a few class sessions under your hip scarf or have worked extensively with other DVD's you should be fine. The 'combination's' are pretty short, most only being 2 or 3 moves. Some of the names they use threw me off at first but it's all basic stuff. All of the sections are narrated by voice-over (I love listening to Neon & Blanca with their accents, but that's just me) so the voice volume is constant and you don't hear heavy breathing. There are a few lunges and deep level changes but they can easily be modified or ignored. I really liked the contrast between the 3 dancers, and I like that its not "4 this, 4 that" start over. It really feels like dancing. I liked the costumes, it gave the video more interest. I could have done with out some of the cheesy empowerment shenanigans but they weren't over powering. The first section is CIRCLES (7:31), led by Blanca. The moves covered are hip circles, 1 hip circles, pelvic circles (interior hip circles) and chest circles. There are 3 combination's in this section. The skeleton is pretty basic but they add nice arm flows (often a major issues for beginner dancers) that get you used to moving your whole body (aka actually dancing). This section is pretty relaxed and I liked the soft stretching from the large circles. Keep your abs engaged to really feel the workout. The next section is INFINITY LOOPS (6:44) aka Figure 8's, with Neon. The moves are horizontal 8's, chest figure 8's, vertical figure 8's up and down (I do the down section with my feet flat, better workout and better for the ankles) with some variations and 1 hip figure 8's. There are 8 combination's. This section moves pretty fast, typically with Neon there are a lot of quick changes; I found that they aren't always announced with enough warning. In this section you can really see the differences in the 3 dancers, I find Neon's dancing to be somewhat jarring, and I think her movements often look jerky. The next section is UNDULATIONS (7:02) with Sarah Skinner. The moves are snake arms, side undulations (I really like how this move is broken down), up and down undulations with variations, there are 3 combination's. I think Sarah Skinner does the best job of telling you what is going to happen before it happens. Next is HIP ACCENTS (7:57) with Neon. The moves are vertical (weighted lifts/drops) and horizontal hip slides, unweighted lifts and drops with variations, there are 8 combination's. Next is SHIMMIES (5:43) with Sarah. She covers basic hip shimmy and twist shimmy and shoulder shimmy. There are 4 combination's. Next is BODY LINE (5:08) with Blanca, there are a lot of sways, flourishes and accents. She also does torso drops, back arches, pivot and three step turns and arabesque.There are 6 combination's. I thought this was actually the hardest section to do while still looking `pretty'. Last is the dance, which I honestly haven't done. Once I get the hand of the combination's a bit better I probably will. I also haven't used the tutorial sections, I didn't find that I needed them. Over all as an intermediate/advanced student I found that this was a fun work out that helped me focus in on some moves that I would like to polish and it was interesting enough that I'll do it again. I would really recommend it to anyone with at least a basic understanding of belly dance fundamentals.
Review: Excellent practice DVD for Advanced Beginners and even Intermediates - I had been looking for a real Belly Dance workout, that was both good practice, AND a real workout. So many DVDs are called Belly Dance workouts, and I have found them disappointing. Usually they are not a very good workout, and aren't really belly dance oriented. There ARE a lot of good instructional Belly Dance DVDs out there. But I was really looking for something that would be about a 40+ minute workout, covering most of the techniques a beginner/intermediate needs to work on. A DVD that would not require that I have the remote in hand, hunting and pecking for this or that move in some ginormous table of contents, or fast forwarding past the repeated 20 minute discussion of "tuck your hips, chest out, shoulders back". Finding this DVD was like finding a jewel. This DVD is called a belly dance work out for beginners, but I will agree with another reviewer who said that it was not for rank beginners. I would say it's more for "advanced beginners". That said, most beginners will be able to follow most of the moves, even the first time they see it. There is a tutorial section that is broken down pretty well, and should help those who may find themselves overwhelmed, or unfamiliar with the name of a specific move (for instance, what Neon calls "infinity loops", my teacher calls "figure eights".) If you have been taking lessons, even if it's just a couple of months, you won't have too many surprises in terms of the basic techniques. However, you MAY find some familiar techniques put together in suprisingly different, but still lovely combinations. While I am not winded nor sweating by the end of this workout, I do feel like I am working all the joints and muscles commonly used in belly dance (class.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect, but their costumes conceal the footwork
*by S***Q on February 17, 2011*

Luscious is a sensual, slow paced workout. The extended tutorials do a good job of breaking down the moves. The workout itself contains beautiful movements that are somewhat easy to follow, although it will take practice to develop better technique and your own artistic expression. There is even a short sample dance that you can learn to perform separately. The problem, as other reviewers have said, is in the costuming. The costumes worn in the workout are beautiful, but they are too concealing over the dancers' legs and feet. It is difficult to see what they are doing, especially in steps that travel in a circle. What's even more frustrating is that the step-by-step tutorial also has the same concealing costumes. When the dancer is describing the importance of bending your knees, you have to take her word for it, because her legs are covered by a long skirt. In fact, the skirt is so long that it brushes the floor and blocks most of her footwork. Otherwise, the DVD seems to do a good job of bridging the gap between instructional dance video and workout. Just don't expect much cardio--the workout is slow, but should strengthen and sculpt muscles. On the dance side, it seems to cover very basic moves, but takes the time to explain technique (if you use the step-by-step tutorial).
