Anyone else like doing belly dancing DVDs? I have two Veena and Neena DVDs, one Rania, and Belly dancing basics and beyond with Jenna. I find them very relaxing and fun, but I sometimes have trouble doing some of the footwork, because I'm clumsy and uncoordinated. Still, it's very fun, and I highly recommend it... though I'm not sure how many calories it burns.

It's been helping my confidence though, and my husband likes it too.

I have one of Veena and Neena's. I was really excited about trying it out; I even got a chain belt with bells at the Renaissance Festival for it However, I just found it didn't excite me enough. I don't know - nothing wrong with it - I just didn't click with it.

Maybe I'll give it a shot again at some point, but I agree with your HR comments - I think it's a better replacement for yoga than for cardio. Just my opinion.

I have a Tribal Fusion Bellydance DVD with Rachel Brice, and it's one of my favorites. It gets my heart rate up as much as some cardio DVD's.

I'll have to check that one out then.

I like the dvds from "World Dance New York." They have tons of bellydance dvds, and you can see clips of most of them on their website:
