Goddess Workout: Introduction to Bellydance (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Goddess Workout claims it will do two things--teach you how to bellydance and give you a workout.It is effective at neither.The only positive aspect of this workout is the eye candy.The costumes and sets are gorgeous.But this wasn't meant to be a performance video...it was meant to teach.

The main problem is the camera work.Frequently, the camera focuses on Dolphina's face or chest when you're supposed to be doing things with the lower body.At one point she said "now let's add a leg movement."So I stood there waiting for the camera to show her leg (it was focused on her upper body).And I kept waiting, and waiting.Then we moved on to something else.I never did figure out what she was doing with her leg.Similar things happened throughout the workout.The camera may focus on the proper area for a short time, but quickly moves somewhere else before you can get the movement down.

She explained a few things adequately, but others left me completely lost.She would go on and on about "goddess energy" and chakras which did not help me with dance form at all.She kept trying to act sexy which was really embarassing when one of my family members came in the room.The way she behaves you'd think this was entertainment for men, not dance instruction for women.

Finally, the "workout" did not make me break a sweat, and I am in relatively poor shape.There was a cool down, which was pretty silly because there was nothing to cool down from.
