Product Description

Part ancient art form, part sensuous entertainment, and part fun, sexy way to increase physical fitness while exploring a ritual of self-expression, belly dancing is today enjoying an exciting renaissance. There's nothing quite like it for toning your abs-and it provides a real aerobic workout! At a fraction of the price of a how-to video or a dance-class series, this ingenious kit has everything you need to get started: an illustrated, 64 page book with detailed instructions for all the basic moves and rhythmic undulations, a pair of zills (finger cymbals), a veil, paste-on jewels, and a CD with exotic dance music to enhance the experience.

Customer Reviews

If you've always secretly wanted to be a harem princess!
This is a super little set for the beginner. The book includes an enthusiastic and encouraging introduction followed by clear diagrams and easy to follow instructions. The accompanying CD is worth the price alone. It flows with a range of styles and rhythms which never bore. The zils (finger cymbals) are of basic quality but they work. The stick on belly-button 'jewels' are a bit of fun. The only let-down is the 'veil' which is no more than a wide ribbon of red chiffon, but it is still a useful prop. Push back the sofa and set your spirit free!

garbage
the book teaches you via some daft drawings how you can swivel your hips and do figure 8's. do yourself a favour - spend your money on Dirty Dancing instead- you'll learn a lot more and thats saying something!
oh - and the 'extras' you might as well put in the bin.
