Guide Review - The Goddess Workout-Introduciton to Bellydance

I was skeptical about trying a bellydancing workout and was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was. Delphina leads you through a short warm up and then upper body moves like snakes, wrist twirls, and chest lifts. The hip section was my favorite with fun hip circles, lifts, drops and shimmies. A 5-minute routine puts it all together, but there's little cueing so you're on your own. Nitpicks: You do the moves once (16 counts), so you don't have time to learn them well and the camera often doesn't show the moves she's teaching. This is NOT an intense cardio workout, but a nice add-on to other worktous. Despite the drawbacks, I'll do this DVD and hope future videos will have more instruction and time spent on the routine.
