I despise this tape. I'm so glad I finally found someone who wanted to trade for it. Outwardly, it is a nice tape, so I tried to like it. The set is very nice: a large room with wooden floors and lots of plants. The production quality is excellent. The intructor and a bunch of light-blue-clothes-wearing girls behind her are all fit and look like they know bellydancing well. But the workout! Aaah! First of all, it's all a voice-over. The cueing is awful. And at the end, it just completely stops. "You've got it by now," she reassures us. I can't stand the expression on the lead girl's face. The "workout" consists of walking front and back, then shuffling side to side, and shifting your hips around. I am not that aerobically fit, and I didn't even break a sweat. I might as well have just been standing there for all the exercise I got. Plus, I didn't even learn bellydancing, unless you count moving forward with your hips jutting out as bellydancing. Then at the end there's a performance by the instructor. Gee, thanks for teaching us how to do this! [eye-roll] Don't waste your money.
