Is there a woman among us who has not envisioned herself as the sultry, captivating bellydancer, who casts a spell over her audience? Today, more than ever before, women are comfortable with their sensuality and more consumed with maintaining good mental and physical health. Bellydancing increases body awareness and its exotic movements enhance femininity and heighten fitness of body and mind.

Veena and Neena have been bellydancers since their childhood and have traveled extensively throughout the Middle East to perfect their artistic craft. Their 3-part motivating series, “THE SENSUAL ART OF BELLYDANCE” tops their years of consistent performances in motion pictures, television, on stage, and on video with many of music's greatest performers. Viewers will find themselves fascinated with the beauty and expertise of identical twins, Veena and Neena, eager to grasp the simple, basic moves of Egyptian Bellydance and gradually able to proceed to the more advanced routines that are fun and easy to learn, all within the privacy of their own home.

“BEYOND BASIC DANCE” -- When you feel the basic rhythm of the music taking over your body and the repeated gyrating of the hips seems just right, the second in the series of “THE SENSUAL ART OF BELLYDANCE” will take you beyond the fundamentals and into the intermediate movements of this delightful art. Every session does begin with the preparatory warm-up to achieve body suppleness. Twins, Veena and Neena concentrate on helping you feel comfortable with the movements that you have already learned, after which they proceed to teach the rib circles, hip-drop kicks and shimmies, traveling steps, and full turns. Practice, practice, practice and feel your body and mind respond to the graceful moves and steps that make a true Egyptian bellydancer.
