Hip Hop Hip Drop

Rania Bossonis
Year Released: 2003

Categories: Bellydance


This video is good for beginner exercisers or those with no prior bellydancing experience. I'm neither one of those so I got bored while doing this workout.

Rania does the hip drop, hip drop w/ kicks, w/ different arm patterns and going forward/back and side to side. The hip drop is a moderately easy step to learn. THis is repeated over and over for 20 more minutes until it gets very easy, REPETITIVE AND BORING. I tried to put in a lot of effort but it hardly raised my HR. This tape was disappointing to me, but would be fine for a beginner bellydance enthusiast.

THe music was like instrumental funk with some drums, not real hip hop (I been listening to hip hop/rap since the 80's and this is not hip hop!) I see that she was trying to make bellydancing marketable but I'm sure other hip-hoppers would agree about the music.
I had fun for the first 15 minutes, after that I couldnt' wait for it to be over. I got bored!

Instructor Comments:
she's a great bellydancer who incorporates gymnastics into her routines.
