A little disappointed
I have to admit I was a little disappointed in this DVD. I have been dancing for 8 years, and am always looking for a dance ," workout" to learn more, and exercise at the same time. The word," workout" in the title is misleading. ( I expected it to be like Jehan's Ultimate Bellydance Workout, which is actually a bellydance workout). The format is more like a class than a workout. Also, I would recommend this to anyone who is moving from beginner to intermediate and wants to get a jump start on moves you will be learning. Other than the bellyroll these moves aren't challenging to the advanced dancer. I did not like how there is no music at all while you are doing the moves,and you can even hear cars driving by in the background noise.
So that I'm not all sour grapes,I will say that Princess Farhana has a definate style, and is interesting to watch, her burlesque background comes out in her dancing. She definately has a lot of personality. Also, like the previous reviews, there are little to no DVD's teaching rolls and flutters as well as she does( except maybe Suzanna del Vecchio's). So if you want an inexpensive DVD teaching how to roll and flutter, then this could be for you, but if you have been intermediate for a while, or advanced, this will be stuff you should have already learned. Thanks anyway, Princess!

Excellent but too short
Princess Farhana's explainations are very clear and her conversational tone pleasant. She does wonderful belly rolls and if you practise, I guess you can some day do like her. I also recommend her veil DVD, in the same no-nonsense style and with refreshing dances.
My only problem with this DVD was that I found it too short. 60mn is not long enough for this level. She could have incorporated more exercises, that's why I gave it only 4 stars and not 5.

Boneless
This is wonderful for moving on from basic movements, how to combine and how move from one to the other. Am now practising belly rolls and flutters. I have this on VHS but will be buying DVD copy!! Well worth the money and more

Roll your own!!!
If you want to learn how to do those amazing bellyrolls and delicate flutters just like professional bellydancers than this is a must have dvd. Through careful explanations and demonstrations, The Princess de-mystifies the art of the belly roll.
Now don't get me wrong, you won't be rolling and fluttering like the pros immediately after using this dvd but you will have a solid understanding of how the muscles work to create those incredible moves, thereby making it easier to learn how to do them. This dvd also includes extensive segments on variations of camel undulations and figure 8's.
Princess Farhana she has a wonderful, conversational tone to her voice and she doesn't rush through her instructions. Using this dvd feels more like dancing with a friend in your living room rather than following along with someone on a tv screen. Which, for me, makes working with this dvd a very enjoyable experience rather than just another, repetitive practice session.
This is one of the very, very few dvds on the market that teaches the art of the bellyroll and, in my humble opinion, it is the BEST.
All Hail the Princess!!!
