Luscious - The Bellydance Workout for Beginners

I love this workout. It moved a bit fast for me at first but when I decided to mix it up a bit by doing the tutorial section, I found I still got a great workout. I first started with bellydance 7 years ago but continue to learn and find the best methods in which I learn. Using the tutorial section where the move is taught then demonstrated by a clip of the workout it shows up in, I could get a nice little workout. When the 'practice' part of the tutorial plays it is with music only. I found that to be a great option for those who get overloaded with trying to listen to the voice over instructions while watching what the dancers are doing next. So, it's not just a great workout done in sections and as one big workout- but a great tool for the more advanced bellydance student in drilling transitions.

As a seasoned customer of [...] I had high expectations for this DVD, but even those were exceeded by Luscious. I put it on. intending to spend 20 minutes on it, and the next thing I had gone all the way through all 6 sections before I had noticed, as it was just too fun, too sensuous and too delicious to stop.

As a fitness pro myself, I have been exposed to 100s of different types of workouts and this is one of my favorites ever.

Truly luscious, which is exactly how I feel now.
Yum!

This video is a great product for beginners as well as more advanced bellydancers. There are tutorials for each type of movement and there are choreographed combinations of movements. The result is a very full, practical and beautiful bellydancing workout.

I really liked it. its a bit difficult but what exersise isn't if its good?

I don't consider this video a beginners video. The pace is fast and hard to follow. The costumes look like performance costumes and hide the feet and knees. I'd say this is an intermediate video. That's why I give this 4 stars. Anyone who has an idea of how to do basic bellydance moves before this video can have a great experience.

Luscious is packed with more moves than I've ever seen in any other bellydance video. I think that Drills Drills Drills and this video make up a great combination. The dancing is beautiful and the costumes and music do inspire.

Luscious has tutorial sections where the moves are explained and then shown in the context of the movie. You can practice every section after the corresponding tutorial or you can dance through the sections from the beginning.

The sections are called:
Circles where you learn pelvic circles, hip circles, chest circles, and one hip circles, aka Moroccan hip circles.

Infinity loops which goes through vertical figure eights, chest figure eights, horizontal figure eights, one hip figure eights, and mayas.

Undulations which practice side undulations, reverse undulations
Hip lifts and drops
Shimmys
Ans a section called body line
Then there is a short section at the end called the dance where you combine a few of the moves you learn in a fluid free feeling dance.
