WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THIS DVD

This is a great resource for beginner dancers because it teaches while moving. The majority of DVDs break down technique first before offering real practice to music.

Perfect for Beginners
Belly dancing is the loveliest form of exercise I know of, and it is also a beautiful art form; it is so graceful, and tones and strengthens your muscles while also gently stretching your body and giving you agility.

Piece of Cake
Piece of Cake is an enjoyable way to wind down and get some movement in after sitting at work all day! It is a great beginner dvd. After work I often don't feel like a strenuous workout, but I do want to get some movement in..... this is great for that! So if you don't want a meat and potatoes work out, get a Piece of Cake. Have fun! Belly dance!
I like to rotate my dvds so that it is not repetitive. I use beginner dvds on days that I just don't have enough "oomph" to put into the others. Shimmy on!
