"This is a DVD of a dance class filmed at Bally Total Fitness. There is no step by step instruction. The class is just going through the moves and the titles of the moves are flashed across the screen. Not at all what I expected. If you are looking for step by step instruction to learn the moves this DVD is probably not for you."

"This video was fun but confusing. She would change moves without telling you how to do it and without any warning she was doing it. She did this alot when the camera wasn't on her so you were looking at the ppl in the back ground. It was fun but not very challenging (unless you count trying to figure out what she is doing now)"

Found in Ross remainder bin where it belongs

"I was really hopeing that this would be at least an okay beginner DVD. I teach belly dance and I buy el-chepo DVD's to see what my students/general public might be temped to purchase. Amira Mor has an impressive bio on her website, but I'm just not a fan of her fusion between jazz/salsa/belly dance. There is no info on the culture of belly dance; and I found the costumes revealing and some of the moves tacky. I would be ashamed if someone based their perception of what belly dance really is on this video. It's a beginning student class filmed at Bally Fitness, and it looks like a beginning class. Even with the plethora of different styles, I would never teach students to bring their shoulders up to their ears in snake arms, or to shoulder shimmy with such a pronounced forward lean. It gets one star from me because Amira has a positive attitude and lively personality. You get what you pay for. IAMED has a much better and classier line of teaching and performance DVDs. If you can't afford IAMED new, look for them used."

Don't waste your money!

"I spent $7 on this DVD and still feel ripped off. It was a tape of a class at Bally's with little instruction. The dancers in the background weren't even good and there was a 7 year old in there! I don't want to spend money to watch a class. I was hoping there would be combinations or something, and there weren't any. I turned it off before it got to the end because I got so bored. The shoulder shimmies lasted forever, to the point that it was just ridiculous. I haven't decided if I am going to keep it or not."
