Editorial Reviews: Product Description Lavish and overflowing with deep, rich, feminine movement, Luscious: The Bellydance Workout is made of 100% of bellydance moves and steps It is gentle, but it will work your body to enhance your muscle tone, flexibility, and fluidity, and promote weight loss. With a special focus on muscle conditioning and elongation, the program works each group of muscles deeply - using carefully built combinations to switch between muscle groups and add intensity to the workout. PPLusscious: The Bellydance Workout features gorgeous music and a beautiful flow undiluted by conventional exercises. Systematically addressing each group of muscles to deliver a total body workout, it creates an entertaining and aesthetically fulfilling dance experience inspiring you to do your best in executing each move with the proper depth, range of motion, and articulation. PP A true dance experience as much as a fitness experience, Luscious is beginner level, but it offers you a perspective of challenge and growth. The workout consists of 7 sections, each building consistently upon the dance vocabulary covered in the previous sections through its own series of combinations. The combinations include classic bellydance transitions between steps to help you create the muscle memory to ingrain dance in your body. PP Luscious is an instructional workout. It introduces the dance vocabulary in a careful, systematic way and contains an extensive tutorial section breaking down each move used in the workout.PP If this is one of your first steps in bellydance, this program will be a fun introduction to all the basic groups of bellydance moves and transitions. If you are a dancer, it s a great way to practice the core of the bellydance technique and vocabulary through functional drills performed in the context of dance combinations and transitions creating an extra layer of muscle memory that isolated drills do not provide. PP Workout duration - 45 min. PP Tutorial section - 50 min. PP The Circles section explores circular bellydance moves. It follows a slow-to-moderate tempo, working both the lower and upper body through isolations. PP Next is the Infinity Loops section. Together with the stretching and toning impact of every move in this section, infinity loops are the ultimate exercise in fluidity. PP Undulations maintain flexibiilty of your spine and help develop deep awareness of your core. They are also a challenging full-body muscle-conditioning exercise. PP The bellydance hipwork section exercises your thighs, glutes, and abdominal muscles. In the Hip Accents section we ll perform traditional bellydance hip moves and then weave them together with the fluid movements: circles, infinity loops and undulations. Hipwork is what gives bellydance such vibrancy and party appeal - these steps look great on any dance floor. PP The Shimmy - that effortless shaking of the hips - is actually hard work! Join us to shake your way through a few styles of shimmy, and enjoy the wide range of shimmy flavors. PP The Body Line section is built of moves involving your total body. It shifts focus from working individual body parts to dance steps that offer the most stretching and give you a dancerly posture and carriage. PP The last section is a short dance routine choreographed entirely of the bellydance moves featured in the workout.

Don't waste your money-- Rania has some better DVD's out there that are really great for beginners. br / br /I did break a sweat but it was because I was trying so hard to keep up and I still was confused and lost. I never knew if my feet were positioned right or not because I could not see their feet. These people should give people who bought this DVD back their money because they misrepresented--it is not for beginners! It is for the advanced--probably those who took their classes. Perfect basic yummy practice for beginners June 21, 2010 Tree Fan (Asheville, NC) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful If you are brand new to bellydance, I highly recommend this DVD. I have had several bellydance DVDs, and use different ones for different reasons, but I'd rate this one very high in the "practice the basics while enjoying yourself" category ... it gives a very nice fundamental dance vocabulary for your body and dance, to practice and build on as time goes by ... I find all of the teachers and the instructions to be very pleasant and good as well ... There are pointers and some instruction, most especially in the technique breakdown ... It's nice because you are having fun and feeling good while learning and increasing your skill ... Also it provides a healthy dose of how moves affect your body (internal and external) and encourages self expression and Love ... Om Shanti Luscious DVD for a Beginner? I think not. May 18, 2010 Jennifer Labriola (Hammond, IN United States) 6 out of 8 found this review helpful I have watched/attempted the Shimmy series on FITv for a while, and wanted a DVD so I could learn more. After some research, I found the Luscious workout for beginners. I just tried this DVD a few minutes ago and I'm probably going to end up selling it on Amazon or eBay. br / br /I have done step classes and aerobic classes before - so I am used to cues and general choreography, so I figured I could do this DVD with a bit of ease. Yeah. NO. br / br /Let me start off saying I DID DO THE TUTORIAL section, and even then I was lost. This is **NOT** for beginners. I didn't expect to get all the moves on the first try, but when I'm still stuck on the first move because I can't see her legs (wearing long skirts) and her explanations are confusing - you realize it's not going to be a good workout. I need to SEE her legs/knees doing the dance! So you're confused and they move fast, then as if her one explanation would do the trick, they add arms to the move, so now it's REALLY confusing! Then in a mocking way, they show the steps all together with the dancers. Am I supposed to follow that? I just stood there and watched. Wow. br / br /I'm very very disappointed in this DVD. I thought it would be at least the same as the FITv one, there wasn't even a warm up. I'm unsure if I'm going to try this out again, my frustration level is quite high, I think they should've broken this DVD up into a set, it's just way too much, too quick and for a true beginner. br / br /Like I said, I did not expect to get it right away, but when I'm on tutorial one and not getting the moves right, it leaves little motivation to continue on. I figure IF I do this DVD again, I am going to have to master the tutorial, entirely, in steps, then try to move onto the workout. I'm not sure if I want to put that much time into this, when I can pop in a different exercise DVD and work up a sweat. This seemed fun, but after doing it, I wasn't having fun with it - isn't that was exercise is all about? br / br /Unless you've done shimmy/belly dancing before, I would NOT recommend this DVD. START WITH THE TUTORIAL March 7, 2010 Funny girl (seattle) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful If you start the dvd from the beginning, it starts with circles, and can be too fast paced. I tried it once and put it away for nearly a year. Then I took it out again, and realized you have to deliberately start with the tutorial, and I highly recommend it. It takes you step by step through the movements, and the video can be too hard to follow without it. The best belly dancing video EVER! March 5, 2010 S. Azzouz (Tetouan, Morocco) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I have just started learning how to belly dance but have been looking and watching numerous videos for years before I got up the nerve to now try to do it(a 100 lbs lighter!). I have seen lots and I have to say, I just absolutely LOVE this video!! I was at first kinda turned off by the title of the video but I decided, what the heck? Give it a chance. From the first move, I was hooked! I love how Neon would do the move and then all three ladies would do the moves together to music; they danced together so effortlessly, it was beautiful to watch. The other thing was, I loved how she patiently and thoroughly explained how to do the move precisely and how not to do it so you hurt yourself. Neon really makes a struggling beginner, like me, feel like you really could do it with her kind instruction and gentle accented voice. The music, the costumes, the backdrop of the video, was exquisite and sensual! It is also great that its not one of those so-called 30 minute teaching videos that you pay an arm and a leg for and you wonder what for? and be disappointed at the amount of time they spend on technique and how they gloss over a lot to fit it into 30 minutes. I disagree, however, with people who say that this video is not for absolute beginners. It will be hard and you may stuggle for a minute but if it is too hard, go to the beginning and do tht tutorial and learn the basic moves. You can do that for a while until you can do the other beginning moves and you should be fine. If you buy this DVD, you will NOT be disappointed! The moves are authentic, the music is good and you will be learning while having a great time and getting in shape! I will definitely be buying the rest of their series!
