5/5 Excellent

I am very pleased with my purchase of Luscious. Even as a semi-accomllished belly dancer...the way the girls talk you thru the moves and create simple but elegant dance routines, is FUN! They always emphasize the fun portion while instructing the moves. I am very very pleased with this DVD...I have ordered others, but I think, this is my fave..I go back again and again..and the matrix portion allows you to choose to concentrate on a particular series for fine tune your "shake" or blended into a dance!

5/5 This is so much fun!

I'm NOT addicted to exercise DVDs or the gym. This DVD has real entertainment value besides being a good, safe workout. Have a couple of girlfriends come over or even your husband to join the action. It is so much fun!

Takes the time to practice individual belly dance movements. Also, links movements together into combinations. If someone is needing more instruction on technique, a tutorial section is offered. Immediately following each movement in the tutorial is a clip from the workout section that includes that specific movement. Also, the workout can be played without voice cues. I recommend getting used to doing the workout with cues, first. Excellent music choices to accompany each section of the workout. The workout includes six sections & finishes with a dance that involves many of the learned moves. The movements are strong enough to get my heart pumping after only two sections - yet they are moderate enough so that a person can do the entire workout. Would definately buy it again.

5/5 Well but together!

5/5 Luscious - Bellydance Workout; for Beginner? NOT!
  by Shalimar
This is another great DVD from WDNY However, I would not recommend it for any Beginner Student, as I think it is more for someone at Intermediate or Advance level. One the positive side -- I love the dance movements, the way the movements are grouped, the costumes, lighting, etc.

But on the negative side, the directions (left and right) threw me off. I guess I am used to "mirroring" the dance instructor -- whether on a DVD or at a dance workshop; without using an actual mirror. When I teach my dance classes, I use a mirror -- so when I call out left or right, it is actually left or right.

Another thing that irritated me on this DVD (and many others) is having any type of "Welcome" speech. Welcome speeches and Introductions should be placed on the video, as an optional chapter feature. You only need to hear it just ONE time! I time my workouts and it is irritating to have to fast forward through the Welcome or Introduction each time I use a DVD. The welcome/introductions are so inconvenient. I find myself shouting at the TV, just shut up and get to the dancing!!!

I teach beginner students, but won't recommend this one to them (yet); but will recommend it to my more advanced or intermediate students.
