Do you want to find a bit of adventure to add to your dance routine? This DVD by Meera will invigorate your fitness routine and add a dash of Indian spice into your life. I am a participant in many forms of Asian folk and Middle Eastern folk dances, with a well established performing career. I am familiar with dancing to fast-paced drum solos, complicated choreography, and difficult rhythms, but even beginners will find the Dances of India DVD series enjoyable and exotic. I am so excited to add yet another layer of dance depth to my repetoire. I have found that this Instructional Dance DVD is a great way to revamp the dull and boring cardio workouts, and is full of intriguing dance moves and postures, and the Oriental decor of the set really enlivens the imagination. The Instructor gives a great demo of the moves, slowly at first and then gets you up to tempo with the music. --S. Dengler 5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Exercise!! I love this exercise video! I really like Meera! Unlike some exercise instructors, her personality and voice aren't annoying at all. Everything is explained thoroughly. She gives you time to learn the move plus, it's a dvd so you can always go back. Even if you're not coordinated you can take it slow. Pause and try to get it right. Just think, you're still exercising even if you're just practicing one move to get it right. I always use a mirror with exercise to make sure I'm doing the move correctly. I had my first child almost 10 months ago and I'm still trying to find time for exercise. So, I'm quite out of shape. However, I don't always get to finish, I still feel a burn when I do this video. I really want to collect her other 3 videos. I saw a preview of them on this particular dvd. They all look excellent!! --C. Nemitz Bollywow! I was looking for something a little different from my normal routine of bellydance fitness DVDs. So I gave this one a try. And I am so, so very pleased. I liked Meera's sweet smile and personality. It's obvious she finds this type of dance a joy. After the first combination, I was grinning ear to ear. Not many programs got me to do that! The dance steps were fun and very bouncy, just as I've seen in the few Bollywood movies I've seen. It was positively joyful. The warm up and cool down sections were very good, she included some very good leg stretches. Which I find is important in any dance fitness video, since you move around so much. And move around you do! It gave me a good sweat and made me feel great. This was definitely a good addition to my fitness routine. Bollywood dancing is such fun, I can't believe I went so long without something like this! --Virginia Mercurio
