Summary: Beautiful Dance Workout!
Comment: This DVD is quite enjoyable...it is a great way for the belly dancer to refine his/her techniques and get a full dance workout. The content of the video seems to have more of an artistic approach, as opposed to just doing one drill after another. (Don't get me wrong, drills are great, but sometimes I get bored with them and I just want to dance!) The combos flow nicely together and the choice of music fits well in each section. The fact that it is put together to feel more like a dance performance than a workout makes the time go by faster!
Only a couple of things on the negative side. I would not recommend this for a beginner belly dancer. This DVD is best suited for an experienced dancer; someone who has taken classes for awhile (perhaps at the advanced beginner or intermediate level) and understands the basic principles of belly dance technique and has a solid foundation. Videos are a great tool for practice but it is usually beneficial to get feedback from a teacher in person, especially when you are learning belly dance for the first time. That way you can avoid bad habits that could lead to injuries, such as a lowback strain from doing hip infinity loops.
The other negative thing, (and this is just my personal opinion), is that I would have preferred a cool down and stretch at the end of the workout. But that is pretty minor since a person can easily stretch on their own without video guidance!
Overall a well thought out video...something I will be adding to my home practice for sure!

Summary: Fantastic way to mix up your workout
Comment: 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.

Summary: Luscious lives up to its name. I feel amazing!
Comment: 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!

Comment: 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.
