Customer Reviews of Bellydance Fitness for Weight Loss featuring Rania: Pure Sweat

Not Worth It If You Want A Workout.
The concept of using bellydancing moves to salsa music is an interesting one, but with this video it just doesn't work. And I don't understand where the 'Pure Sweat' comes from. I've broken out more of a sweat sitting in the shade on a summer's day than I did with this. The workout is as slow as the warm-up, and it didn't last long. Rania herself is kind of scary, with (as someone else put it) her deer-in-the-headlights look, and her obvious lack of actual bellydance training is annoying. Another reviwer stated that Rania's stiffness in her dancing is helpful to beginners, and I could understand if that was her goal, but she is stiff in the final part where she dances full out on her own, so it comes across that she is someone who took a few bellydance classes and decided, "Hey, I could make a video that people will think is fabulous, and I'll get lots of money!" And that's disturbing to me. <
>So, if you're looking for a video that either instructs bellydance, or is a bellydancing workout, I highly recommend the 'Bellydance - Fitness for Beginners' series by Veena and Neena. They have a grace and fluidity of movement that shows they know what they're talking about, and their Slim Down video really does get my heart pumping.

disappointing
I took some belly-dance, hoping this would reinforce the fundamentals and give me more work while at home. What sweat? Rania is obviously strong, but I'm puzzled about the narrative to keep the upper body still when she's moving her shoulders back and forth. She has the deer-in-headlights look, as if she might forget a step at any moment. Members of her troupe appear more comfortable with the non-impact routines. I know I won't try the others in her series. --Great, now I've got to go back to class :) <

Very Little Sweat, Too Light
I recently started working out again after having had a slipped disc. I needed to start with something light yet exciting enough to keep my interest. So, naturally I thought this dvd would be perfect. <
>I barely broke a sweat in this workout, so everytime I see the cover, I break into a laugh. <
>I expected to have some authentic belly dance moves. I've taken a class of beginner's belly dance and I guess I expected something along those lines. <
>This dvd left me feeling cheated out of my money. Now, I feel hesitant to buy another belly dancing dvd workout. Maybe I just need an intermediate dvd workout.....Hope this helps. <
