Product: SharQui - The bellydance workout Level 2
Rating: 2.0
Not graceful
I think Oreet needs to either stick to other workout forms or improve her bellydance technique before doing this in public. Her hipwork is fine, but she has to gain more control over her upper body, especially the hands.In addition, I find it annoying that she talks too much and with agitation. I've seen several disks which offer you an option to mute the instructor and hear just the music; I couldn't find such a feature on this one. I've also seen other instructors that speak so charmingly that I don't mind hearing them over the music (they talk sparingly, too) - Ansuya, Jayna, Suhaila... In fact, I even enjoy hearing them.The workout itself is very good - mostly hip drops and shimmies - just those moves that your body asks for when you want a more straightforward workout and don't have time for figuring complicated moves. The music is mostly very good - a nice and inviting beat. However, I can't use this program because I don't want to pick up bad habits from the instructor and I can't tolerate excessive loud talking and counting.
