Product Description
Glamour, mystery, a supple, sleek body and hypnotic, sinuous moves. All the benefits of bellydance can be yours in this new video! Melissa has taken her professional experience as a personal trainer, Pilates instructor, performing bellydancer and belly dance teacher and created the BellycoreTM system to help dancers, students, and regular women get in touch with their bodies on a totally new level. In her classes, students have gone from rank beginners to graceful bellydancers in a little as 8 weeks, using the BellycoreTM combination of Pilates exercises and Middle Eastern belly dance moves. Now you too can reinvent yourself into a chic and glamorous bellydancer and get a great workout in the process!

Review
This is a cardio workout from a physical trainer/bellydancer using bellydance as the fundamentals.The warm up segment is pilates and not too complicated. The 4 level breathing technique is interesting and taught well.Some yoga poses are included. Undulating traveling steps were fun to do. Some steps as the Turkish 2 step are repeated too much. Cool down seems a bit too much like a second workout. The studio setting is good, the trainer pleasant just a bit unconnected with her viewer- moving too fast appearing more like a physical trainer than a dancer, but then is that so bad for a cardio workout? Overall this seems to be a compilation of bellydance,pilates, yoga. There is a nice performance at the end by the trainer herself. The music is great by Gypsy Caravan, Jehan, Knossos. --amazon.com (US)

4.0 out of 5 stars Burn Those Calories!, 2 Feb 2009
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

The Bellycore system Melissa has created combines the use of Pilates techniques with a cardio belly dance, to firm up the tummy and then burn the excess away with lots of energetic but basic belly dance combinations.

The initial Pilates warm-up/tutorial is excellent and quite long. It gets every part of your body strengthened and stretched, and ready for the fast and furious cardio section. Simple enough for a beginner, the cardio bellydance steps are very easy to assimilate and the trick is to just keep on going at the tempo given. It's a good workout, and fun to do. Finally there is a lengthy and well deserved Cool-down, and a lovely performance by Melissa finishes the DVD.

The biggest plus is Melissa's no-nonsense way of speaking and teaching that carries us through, with her winsome personality and energy, to go beyond the "I quit!" phase to our second wind and the finish line. Melissa has a lot of experience as a teacher and performer, and with Cardio Bellydance we can benefit from her expertise and get in shape too.

Music is by Gypsy Caravan, Knossons, and Jehan, and the setting is a plain, white walled, bare floor studio, with bright lighting so every movement is clearly seen. Melissa does her floor work on the bare floor, but you would probably feel better with a mat or rug under you. She also wears a T-strap dance shoe with a short heel, but barefoot is OK for me!There is also the option on the menu to play the Pilates workout just with music, and no tutorial, a nice option to have once you know all the movements.
