Bellydancing is the new way to get fit and up your sex appeal. Here are a few reviews of bellydancing videos to get your heart rate up and teach you technique.
Where do you even begin to look for these videos?I've found one Neena and Veena DVD in Target, but that's all for real-life stores.I've searched Wal-Mart and random other stores in search of a belly dancing video I could actually put my hands on before actually committing to paying for it.No such luck.Great news, though!You can type "belly dance" into a search engine and get a list of places to purchase belly dance videos.Some places even list reviews.And this is the best way to get the lowest price possible.What better way to comparison shop than to click from one window to the next?Even if you have to order online, it's not always a bad thing.
Since belly dance is usually introduced as a fitness tool here, we'll start with the videos that have the truest cardio/fat burning benefits.For this, I suggest Neena and Veena's Bellydance Basic Moves and Fat Burning.You won't learn much technique since you're going to spend the length of the tape or DVD hopping on pained shins.They do incorporate some genuine belly dance choreography, but the majority of the fat burning and increased heart rate comes not from swiveling your hips or snaking your arms through the air.Those benefits come from bouncing first on the ball of one foot, then the other, then both together in patterns.If you do this two or three times a week and eat healthily, you will see results.This tape makes you sweat!
For technique and a raised heart rate but less sweat and fat burning, try Jillina's Instructional Bellydance videos, Levels I, II, and III.You may not burn as many calories as with a bouncier (literally) video, but you'll learn the seductiveness behind the art.Jillina breaks down all the moves you need to master in a way that's easy for beginners in Level I.This is not a boring video, however; she mixes it up with combinations that look good on their own, even before you learn a whole dance.She progresses throughout the three levels teaching more complicated choreography as you go.The instruction is excellent, slow, and thorough.She even uses a mirror so you can see how she looks from both angles.You still sweat, but this is more the style of belly dance you'll want to show your significant other with dim lighting, soft music, and a sheer, flowing costume.
Want to feel sexy?Check out Bellydancing: The Sensuous Workout with Shamira.This is a low-impact way to learn the moves chapter by chapter of the DVD.The only downside to this one is the lack of a complete dance to work toward while you're learning the moves.This is a very basic video, perfect for intermediates and determined beginners to learn how to position their knees, hips, and bellies while perfecting each move.
No matter which belly dancing video you choose to start with, make sure you check out the online reviews to determine if it's the right experience level for you.If you try to start out with Jilina's Level 3 belly dancing video and you've never even heard of a hip bump, you'll burn out too quickly and lose interest before you even begin to see the merits of this incredible""and incredibly sexy""workout.You can order directly from fitness video sites or go to eBay for a possibly lower price.Start slow, burn some calories, have fun, and maybe even seduce the one you love!
