Amazon.com ***Please note that this DVD has been re-released under the title "Discover Belly Dance with Michelle Joyce: Strength and Tone"***Spice up your fitness routine with belly dance, a fun and exotic new workout that promotes strength, balance and confidence. Hosted by professional belly dancer and personal trainer, Michelle Joyce, this DVD is designed to introduce you to the basics of belly dance while strengthening and toning your abs, thighs, butt and hips. The shimmies, undulations and hip isolations of this ancient art form are great for targeting the lower torso, an area that is prone to weight gain with age and after child birth. Belly dance is the perfect way to celebrate your femininity while doing something fun and healthy. Michelle is a multi award winning belly dancer who has performed around the world, which means you need not travel further than your own living room to learn 100% authentic belly dance. So put on a hip scarf and shimmy your way to a healthy body! (This DVD is geared toward newcomers to belly dance and has a fitness emphasis. It is designed for exercisers who already have a base level of fitness and may be challenging for those who have never before engaged in an exercise routine.) This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

question... November 14, 2008 Tania Rigby (usa) does anyone who owns this dvd knows if this exercise/dance has any captions, subtitles with it? let me know asap many thanks
Better Belly Dance workouts available October 26, 2008 Kris (Wyoming) I find this dvd very boring. There is no flow to the exercise section, just individual segments. I usually end up forwarding through much of the dvd because I find the music annoying & I don't like how the instructor spends so much time breaking down the moves. That is fine when you are just learning but not when you have already watched it a couple of times & just want a good, fun workout. I don't really like her outfit as she seems to spend too much time adjusting her pants so we can see what her legs & feet are doing. I much prefer the video tape (yes, a tape) I have by Veena & Neena Bidasha. I have had that tape for years & still work out to it. I still get a burn in my shoulders & arms. I am going to purchase an actual dvd of their before my video tape dies...
Great for Beginners October 6, 2008 SpiritMoon (Louisville, KY) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is great if you have never bellydanced before. It is easy to understand and also gives you a great workout. Its a lot of fun and is a good intro into bellydance. I would recomend it to anyone who is just starting out.
Not very good instruction September 10, 2008 C. Schneider (Wisconsin) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I found this video to be on the amateur side-the instructor was not good at explaining the moves (at one point saying "you know"-no I don't know!) and the video looked as if someone had made it in their basement. It is a cheap, basic video but not well-produced.
Helped me out so much... August 28, 2008 Araab (Kitee, Finland) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
For 80 minutes worth, this by far is one of the best bellydance instructional dvds for the absolute beginner. Michelle is a great teacher, a great dancer, she is kind and encouraging but at the same time you can tell she is serious is about what she teaches, she speaks in a clear, professional tone and voice, explains things slowly and carefully, and always gets to the point of things. She starts off with these excellent warm-up exercises and yoga-type conditioning, then begins to break down basic movements, moves on to some not-so basic movements, puts all the movements together, and teaches you 2 pre-shimmy drills. Plus the music and bellydance performance at the end by Zaheea is priceless. I highly recommend purchasing her "Perfect Hips" along with her "Pop, Lock, & Shimmy" as it is truly intermediat level. Also, it would be a good idea to also purachese "Drills, Drills, Drills" and "Body By Bellydance" as it teaches layering techniques and some more advanced layer combos, plus finger cymbals! Enjoy!
