    yes, and yes.

    Super hard-core ab/core workout, if you find a good teacher.

    Very light in the cardio department, however.

    My friend, who is GORGEOUS and owns her own studio swears she never toned as well as she did with belly dancing and yoga. They actually have a belly boot camp program they are creating around belly dancing.

    There is one called "hip hop hip drop" (stupid name, good DVD) that is quite good, the dancer Suhalia has it as part of her series. Also, there is a bellydancer named Aziza that has a few for sale on Amazon, and, Rachel Brice has one called "Tribal Fusion" that is good. You might see if you can get them off netflix to try them before you buy.

    Touch base with my cousin: Autumn256 She either took it or taught it. One way or another she loves it. She would be a great person to ask. (Plus she's a sweetie!!) :bigsmile:
