This is a great dance video! After watching "So You Think You Can Dance", I really wanted to learn Bollywood dancing, but there is only one class here, and it's too far. I bought this video after reading the reviews, hoping that it would satisfy my deire. THIS VIDEO IS GREAT! I wouldn't use it as a workout, but I do it in conjunction with another workout such as the treadmill. Basically I wanted to learn how to do Bollywood dancing, and that is what I am learning. It's fun, energetic, sexy, and well worth the money! I LOVE IT! btw--GET A SCARF! You'll need it.
Fun but not the workout to get you into shape I think this is a fun workout, but I will not use this to "get fit". The actual dances are too short to do anything but get your heart rate up for a brief time. The moves are fun which makes this is a great addition to my routine when I don't have time to do a more involved workout. The voice over lady that does the counting in the step-by-step is off beat and difficult to follow, but if you get through the step-by-step bit of torture, the dances are fun, flirty, and fast paced. Good times overall.
this rock this totally rock you sweat your butt off just warming up!MY 5 yr old loves it to we both get the exercie we need.
Fun workout! The production value is somewhat lacking, but you use it for the workout, right? This is definitely a fun way to get in a workout. The dancing and music are so much better than typical aerobic workouts. The dances are challenging at first, but I found the instructions plenty helpful. It is exciting as you continue using the dvd and slowly get better at the dances! I don't have a lot of experience with other 'bollyrobic' type videos, but I like this one more than the Honey Kalaria videos, it feels more like choreography with the workout which makes it more entertaining.
And the music is just great :)
Bollyrobics--forget the workout and have fun!!! This is a great dance/fitness DVD for an advanced student or an ambitious beginner. By the end of the 1st song (Maahi Ve), you WILL be sweaty, but smiling, because you will have learned a fun, energizing choreography. I had a lot of fun, and that was only the 1st song. You can choose which language to learn the dances in, and even choose no narrator for "performance" mode.
I wish the production value was a little better, but you get used to the static camera angles, and green screen background. I also wish the DVD came packaged with the recommended silk "veil." The choreography for "Maahi Ve" would have made more sense if I'd had the veil to go with it. If you look inside the DVD cover, they give you a website to purchase their recommended size veil... after the fact.
So, put a bindi on your forehead, channel your favorite Bollywood actress, and dance your way into fitness!
