 DisappointingMay 02, 2008
On the positive side, Dolphina is fun, upbeat, and playful.
On the negative side...
The DVD is sleep-inducing. The pace is very slow, she speaks slowly and softly, and the jazzy "burlesque" music in the background makes elevator music sound like heavy metal.
There's no actual "workout" here, either. The DVD is divided into topics, like "struts," "bumps," "grinds, "kicks," "shimmies," etc., and she demonstrates each in an equally slow, methodical way. The only chapter that might get your heart rate up is the kicks, but that's just a few minutes. Dolphina also covers the topic "Boa," and the cool-down utilizes big feather fans. (Likely you don't have those handy or could pick them up at your local Sports Authority.)
There's a segment called "Routine" that puts most of the moves together, but again, it's very low-impact and slow-paced, so unless you're grievously out of shape, don't expect your heart rate to budge.
It was all fun stuff and easy to do, but the one part I found grating was the segment called "Performance," where she indulges herself with an overly-long burlesque routine that uses a lot of moves not shown in the instructional segments. (Even if it did, the camera cuts make it almost impossible to follow or imitate.) Nice for the hubby, but I could do very well without it.
All in all, it was surprisingly dull, pedestrian, and a bit self-indulgent. I really wanted to like it, which made my disappointment that much greater.

Not worth itApr 13, 2008
I just got this on DVD today and watched some of it. It is okay, but Dolphina is irritating! Her little attitude sermons make me want to rip every hair out of her head. She reminds me of some airheaded, rich, snot nosed brat at certain points in the DVD. I'll have to try to workout to this DVD and see if it's worth my time. Personally, I like The S Factor series with Sheila Kelley and Carmen Electra's Fit to Strip series much better. If you want a sensual moves and a workout that works, go with the S Factor. I've gotten the most developed core and thighs by using that workout and my flexibility has increased as well.

 Loved this DVD!Mar 14, 2008
This was the most fun I have had in a long time! I was looking for a departure from my usual belly dance DVDs and this was perfect. Dolphina is of course gorgeous but who knew she was so funny as well? As a fairly conservative person, I hesitated at buying this (felt a little silly...), but I was glad I did. I don't know that it is much of a physical workout but I did not buy it for that reason. It gave me a needed attitude adjustment so it was well worth the price. I think it would be great to do as a girls' night activity or for a bridal shower. Tons of fun!

WOW! Dolphina makes Cardio Fun for me and my Man!Feb 16, 2008
I stumbled upon Dolphinas Goddess Workout for BellyDance and loved the moves and the flow of her routines. She is well known in the Belly Dance world, so I thought I would check this out as well.The Goddess Workout: Cardio Burlesque - Striptease My husband and I are fond of Dita Von Teese and Bettie Page, and the moves on this tape are. great for that style of Burlesque. Thanks Dolphina, I am very happy with the workout, and it's nice to feel beautiful while you make yourself healthy.
