Produced by Robin Denise Johnson, Cardio Tribal Belly Dance mixes it up with a Tribal soundtrack that gets you in the mood to dance. The instructional part was fun and easy to follow. The workout was superb. I loved every minute of it from the warm up to the choreographed dance at the end. In my opinion the music out did that of any other. I usually find workout music boring but this music was something I want to listen to when I’m in the car. Robin Denise Johnson does a great job of introducing tribal belly dance in a fashion that is entertaining and fun.

Great DVD. Her movements are phenominal. They are so fluid and snake like. This DVD will definitely help you tone your arms and improve your dance moves. (It doesn’t help that I’m a silver jewelry addict and her jewelry is fantastic.)

I realy like this dvd,for me it is the grounding of my routines.I love it,its soothing yet energising at the same time.
the steps are easy to follow,if you are a beginner the steps are broken down for you.
you can do the whole routine,or you can take a step sequence one at a time.
the steps are named after dancers that have been members of this troupe before.
I definatlety recommend it.

Only buy this DVD if you have no access to real Tribal belly dance teachers or if you live someplace where finding physical fitness and/or Tribal bellydance classes do not exist.
This is an OK DVD for women who have no outlet to exercise. The cover art is great, the name of the DVD is interesting, but the quality does not hold up to the promise. For couch potatoes only!

I just finished working out/watching this dvd for the first time. First impression – it was fun. This is not meant as an instructional dvd – it does not tell you how to do basic moves such as a camel, hip bump or snake arms, you are expected to already know them. This is a workout. The basic moves are put together in several nice combinations and then the combinations are combined into a workout. One of the things I appreciated about the dvd is that Robin mentions the cues used to signal changes in the movement – very helpful for dancers who want to incorporate these combinations into improv performances. It also is a help since the music has a tendency to compete with Robin’s voice and I found myself watching for cues once I knew what I was looking for. I will definitely be using this dvd – especially on nights when I don’t feel like a power workout, but will feel guilty if I don’t get off the couch. It only got a four star rating because I felt the instructional section was weak – the combos could have been broken down a bit better.
