Discover Bellydance Essentials - Mystic Dance for Fun & Fitness Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Something must have changed between my set and the previous reviewer's set. Everything was nice in mine, except the veil. The zills are very pretty and make a nice chiming sound when tapped together. However, there was no directions on how to string them on the elastic that's included. I had to look online to learn the best way was to sew the edges of the elastic together, since knots can alter the sound of the zills. Also, the dance tape didn't go into how the zills are used, which leads me to wonder if I have to move on to a Dolphina tape just to learn.
The veil was rather cheaply made, all things considered. It's made of what looks to be the same fabric as the hip scarf in the "other" set. However, I don't see it as having any sort of wave "edgeing" or frill. It's just a cheap piece of gauzy polyester mesh, cut into a sort of large triangular shape. It *does* flow nicely. I felt the hip scarf and music CD were a much better value in the previous set. But, the zills and video are so nice that I think the whole set is worth the price.
That said, I really enjoyed this tape. I also own the first dance tape, and all their exercise routines (on DVD). I guess that pretty much proves I'm a Neena and Veena fangirl, but, I enjoyed going through this dance much more than the first tape. It was slower paced and therefore easier for me to follow and keep up with. I don't move/dance "quickly", and so fast-paced routines are a big challenge for me. This one was nice and slow, which given the "mystical" title, made sense to me.
All in all, I enjoyed the instructions, and I would recommend buying this if you want a starter set of "stuff" to dance with. But, if you're looking for a "pretty" veil, instead of one that's just "functional", I would consider looking elsewhere.
